Flow Types
PayGlocal offers two flows in which merchants can initiate payments from their customers via APIs:
1 PayCollect Flow
In this flow the card details are collected by PayGlocal. The merchant is not required to collect any card information.
1 Must be used by NON PCI-DSS merchants. Can be used by PCI-DSS merchants as well.
2 Used when the customer has to enter card details on PayGlocal page.
3 New payment methods released by PayGlocal can be seamlessly integrated.
4 Minimal tech integration on the Merchant's end.
2 PayDirect Flow
In this flow the card details are collected by the merchant's application. The merchant then securely sends the card information to PayGlocal, where the transaction is completed.
1 Can only be used by PCI-DSS merchants.
2 Used when the customer has to enter card details on the merchant checkout page.
3 For new payment methods introduced, merchants need to do a tech integration.
Processing Type
PayGlocal offers two kinds of processing to its merchants for the payment initiation calls. Merchant can opt for either or both of these processing capabilities in their payment integrations.
1 Card Processing
Payment stack that processes card transaction of different types (credit, debit, prepaid etc) and brands (Visa, Mastercard etc)
2 AltPay Processing
Payment stack that processes local and global alternative payment options (Indian NetBanking, UPI, GiroPay etc)
