Process Payments

This section provides an overview of how to process payments using Ryft once a Payment Session has been created. It covers the necessary steps to set up a payment processing system and handle the results of payment transactions.

The payment processing procedure follows directly after the creation of a Payment Session, which returns a clientSecret value required to finalise the payment

From this point, the payment can be processed either:

• using one of the Ryft SDKs, which provide a secure and seamless way to handle payment information and interactions with customers or
• through a server-to-server approach, provided the merchant is PCI compliant.

The SDK is the recommended approach for most merchants compared to server-to-server integration, as it simplifies the integration process and reduces PCI compliance requirements. It enables merchants to securely handle payment information without directly managing sensitive data.

In practice, the SDK provides a secure way to collect payment details from customers, so that when they click the "Pay" button on your checkout page, you will receive:

• An immediate response from the SDK indicating whether the transaction was successful;
• An asynchronous webhook event that you can use to record the transaction in your system.

We currently provide an SDK for the following environments:
