Developer API
Build your own payment integration
Full API access. Full sandbox. Full support. CanDo Payments gives you the building blocks to create bespoke checkout experiences, SaaS platforms and marketplaces — backed by the same infrastructure that powers some of the world's biggest brands.
What You Can Build
Our API is the same one that powers our official plugins
So you're never working on a stripped-down version. Build exactly what your project needs, on your stack, on your timeline.
What Comes in the Box
Sandbox environment
Full test environment with no time limits. Use Elavon-approved test cards to simulate every payment scenario — approvals, declines, 3-D Secure challenges, refunds, chargebacks.
Clear documentation
REST API reference, SDKs, integration guides and sample code. Written by people who've actually built integrations, not just documented them.
Dedicated engineer
A real solution engineer assigned to your build. Not a tier-one support chat. Not a community forum. An engineer who knows your project.
Security and compliance, handled
Every integration built on our API inherits the full weight of Elavon's enterprise-grade security infrastructure: PCI DSS compliance, end-to-end encryption, tokenisation, 3-D Secure 2.x, and AI-powered real-time fraud scoring. Your clients' customers are protected by the same platform that handles payments for global airlines, hotel chains and retail giants. You don't have to build any of it — you just call the API.
How to get started
Request sandbox
Fill out a short form and we'll send your sandbox credentials within one working day. No sales call needed to get building.
Build and test
Integrate against the sandbox, test against every scenario you need, and get an engineer on the line whenever you get stuck.
Go live
Once your client is onboarded, we flip the switch to production. Same API, same codebase, zero surprises.
Partner Benefits
