API Overview

Introduction

Blink Payment offers a powerful REST API that enables you to seamlessly handle payments via card, Direct Debit, or open banking, while also providing tools for managing transactions and setting up paylinks. Our eCommerce integrations, including WooCommerce and Magento, allow for smooth integration into your online store. Additionally, Blink Payment's webhooks feature notifies you in real time when transactions or paylinks are created, updated, or completed, helping you maintain full control and visibility over your payments.

Payment API

The Payment API enables you to embed Blink Payment directly into your website or application, giving you full control over the look and feel of your payment process. This allows for the complete customization of payment forms, accepting payments via card, Direct Debit, open banking, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. With this flexibility, you can create a seamless payment experience that is tailored to your brand and user preferences.

Card Payments

The Blink API supports all major card schemes, offering both ECOM (eCommerce) and MOTO (Mail Order Telephone Order) transactions. With our secure, custom-hosted fields, you can easily integrate Apple Pay and Google Pay to provide a smooth payment experience for your customers. Blink Payment also supports advanced features such as setting up recurring payments, verifying cards for future use, delaying transactions to capture payments at a later date, and processing refunds. Whether you're handling one-off payments or subscription services, our card payment system provides comprehensive and secure options. While merchants are initially set up with GBP, all major currencies can be enabled upon request.

Open Banking

Blink Payment’s Open Banking integration allows customers to authorize payments directly from their banking app, offering a quick, secure, and frictionless payment process. By leveraging the latest advancements in financial technology, Open Banking gives your customers a simple, streamlined way to complete payments with their existing bank account, bypassing traditional card networks and fees.

Direct Debit

Blink Payment’s Direct Debit solution is integrated with our trusted partner, GoCardless, allowing you to easily collect payments directly from your customers’ bank accounts. With this integration, you can create and manage Direct Debit mandates through a simple and secure process. Once a mandate is authorized, you can initiate one-off payments effortlessly. This is a convenient option for businesses looking to offer a straightforward, bank-based payment method, and it ensures secure, reliable transactions backed by GoCardless’ robust infrastructure.

Paylink API

The Paylink API allows you to generate unique payment links that are tailored to individual customers and easily customizable for your business needs. These payment links can be embedded directly into your website, invoices, or shared via email or SMS, enabling a convenient payment option for customers. With payment links, you can track payments, customize the appearance, and manage expiration dates, all while providing a streamlined, user-friendly checkout experience.
