The API

"Zepto's API has been very easy to understand and integrate with because it follows the industry's best practices, making the developer experience a benchmark across the payments landscape. The documentation is easy to navigate and contains detailed guides, examples and explanations on various scenarios that make initial and ongoing integrations easy for our team."

"The API has been almost entirely self-service, giving us full control. We can manage the entire end-to-end integration ourselves which includes everything from token and scope management through to making money move in the real world. It's comforting, too, to know that Zepto continually makes improvements to its API, not just in terms of new features but also the constant improvements to its scalability and performance as well."

"The API is easy to use, and the documentation is clear and consistently up-to-date. I really like the sandbox simulate feature – it allows for scenario testing and enables an easier flow for our dev and UAT QA testing."

"I also like Zepto's idempotency key header feature. Having this short-lived idempotency key is perfect for our use case, as we use a full event-based asynchronous payments flow. Zepto's people are also very helpful on our questions and requests, and it makes developing and maintenance of the feature easier in the long run."

"It is pleasant work integrating with the Zepto API. The detailed documentation and modern API follows best practices and provides Swagger/OpenAPI definition which reduces the integration effort significantly. The Zepto merchant portal has abundant functions that enable developers to configure their application efficiently, and the API reference portal is well-organised with sufficient request/response examples."

"The most enjoyable thing about integrating with Zepto is the speed to market. The API not only accelerates the integration work, but also enables us to release features with very few bugs."

"Inspired by Stripe, Zepto looks at tech through an 'engineers first' lens. And having been merchants that wrestled with legacy payment offerings ourselves, we fundamentally get it. We see merchants where they're at, and we meet them there, because we've been there. We give you this incredible tool to build out the way you want. We don't force business rules upon you. We make it incredibly easy for you to curate your own experiences in your own payment flows — perfect for fintechs right up to large enterprises and 3rd-party payment partners."

"We wanted to make sure that the API docs needed only be a nice little bonus. Technically you shouldn't really feel like you need them too much. The API should be very intuitive and natural. You can just look at all the end points you can use, and easily put the pieces of the puzzle together. So, it's easy to start and to use — quite light touch. Then for the bigger end of enterprise town, all the underlying messages are available that deliver the full power and flexibility provided by the infrastructure layer."

"The advantage we had from the get-go is that we didn't start out as bankers trying to solve a merchant problem. We started with an intimate understanding of what merchants need because we started off as merchants ourselves. Payments had frustrated us immensely–perhaps more than anything else in business."
