The only thing you need is a valid API key to authenticate against the API. You even get a list of terminals to which you can connect. Simply execute the financial operation, and within seconds you’ll get back the transaction result and receipts in your software. The Handpoint REST API seamlessly starts and manages the entire P2PE transaction with the payment terminal, minimizing hassle for you and maximizing reliability, security, and control.
Just request a valid API key from Handpoint to start using API. Initialize your interface with the API key and receive the list of devices available to perform a financial operation. Fast and easy.
