CityPay Partner Programme for Web Developers

• Modern APIs & SDKs – Clean HTTP APIs with clear guides, SDKs, and quick starts for real-time authorisation, refunds, pre-auths / voids / completions, and tokenised payments. 
• Hosted 3-D Secure (SCA-ready) – Full 3DSv2.2 flows baked in, including frictionless and challenge journeys – without you managing scheme accreditations. 
• Alternative payments that convert – Click to Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay supported with practical guidance for Paylink / iframes and domain association. 
• Credential-on-file and tokenisation – Store a token, not a card. Ideal for subscriptions, repeat billing and continuous authority. 
• Flexible integration choices – Hosted forms (Paylink) for super-fast PCI-light builds, or Direct Post when you want full control of the UI.
• Event-driven webhooks – Subscribe to payment events and trigger your app flows in real time. 
• Beyond “just e-commerce” – Support for MOTO, payment links, IVR and in-store endpoints when projects need omnichannel.

Spin up payments in minutes with Paylink, our responsive, CityPay-hosted checkout. Your server creates a payment token, then you redirect the shopper to a secure, PCI-approved flow where 3-D Secure (SCA) and scheme nuances are handled for you. You keep full control of order creation and confirmation pages while CityPay manages card input, risk checks, and liability shift. Configure branding (logo, colours, copy), set return / cancel URLs, and hook into post-backs / webhooks for fulfilment, emails, CRM updates and analytics. Because no cardholder data touches your environment, PCI scope is dramatically reduced – ideal for agencies that want velocity without security headaches. Built-in validation, accessibility and mobile optimisation come as standard, with clear error messaging and retry guidance to protect conversion. Add wallets and alternative payments as needed, and localise messaging/currency for international projects.

Own every pixel of the checkout while CityPay handles the sensitive bits under the bonnet. With Direct Post, you render your own form and client-side interactions, then securely post card details directly to CityPay from the browser (domain-keyed), keeping your server out of scope for raw PAN data. We return a token so your backend can authorise, capture, refund, and manage repeats without re-entering card details – perfect for credential-on-file and subscription flows. The standard redirect / return pattern supports 3-D Secure challenges and result handling (success, decline, partial, retry), and you can subscribe to webhooks to drive fulfilment, ledger updates and marketing automation. This pattern fits headless commerce, SSR / ISR sites, and SPA+BFF setups where you want custom UX, bespoke validation, error states, A/B testing and design-system components – while maintaining a clean security boundary.

Use Card Holder Accounts to register a card once and charge later via token – supporting credential-on-file for cardholder-initiated (CIT) and merchant-initiated (MIT) flows. Combine with batch / instalment services for schedule-based charging.

UK-based support for partners and merchants, with clear documentation and direct access to the people who build the platform. From implementation to optimisation, we collaborate with your team to get projects live quickly and keep them humming.

You’ll receive a minimum 10% revenue share on CityPay gateway fees and (when applicable) acquiring fees via our preferred acquirer partners – for the life of the client. Paid quarterly (subject to minimums).

The more your clients process, the more you earn.

• Standard e-commerce with Paylink or your own UI (Direct Post) or total pixel perfect control of the UI with Elements.
• Memberships and subscriptions (tokenisation + credential-on-file).
• MOTO and back-office payments for service businesses.
• Omnichannel projects that mix online, IVR and in-store endpoints.
