The BridgePay transaction API is a RESTful API for interfacing with the BridgePay Gateway. The API includes familiar transaction types from the BridgeComm API in a user friendly JSON interface.
BridgePay’s REST interface can be used to process both Card Present and Card Not Present transactions. A card present transaction is defined as a transaction in which the card data was directly read off of a credit or debit card. This includes EMV and Track data transactions. A card present transaction is defined as a transaction in which card data is manually keyed, such as a mail-order/telephone-order or ECommerce transaction.
As a prerequisite to use the Transaction API for card present transactions, an integrator must perform a direct integration to their intended card reader in order to read and obtain the card data and format it into a Transaction API request. A direct integration may be performed to devices BridgePay has certified with our processors. Please view the certified devices list for clarity.
If an integrator intends to perform a direct to device integration, please discuss with the BridgePay Integration team to discuss best practices and for guidance connecting with device providers.
