Developers & Integration

How you integrate with PayNimble

PayNimble delivers payments on top of established, independently documented platforms — the NMI gateway, the e-Complish CAMPPS platform, and certified card-present hardware. This page tells you exactly what the integration surface looks like, and links straight to the authoritative partner documentation.

Card-not-present & omnichannel

PayNimble Gateway

Powered by NMI

Gateway integrations are built on the NMI platform. Merchants and their developers can integrate at whatever depth the project requires — from a fully hosted page that keeps the merchant environment out of PCI scope, to a direct server-to-server API for embedded checkout and back-office automation.

  • Direct Post API — server-to-server sale, auth, capture, refund, void, and credit
  • Three-Step Redirect API — embedded checkout that keeps card data off your servers
  • Collect.js — drop-in tokenization for custom front-end checkout experiences
  • Customer Vault — store and reuse payment credentials for recurring and card-on-file
  • Network tokenization and account updater on supported card brands
  • Query API and webhooks for reporting, reconciliation, and event-driven workflows
  • Recurring / subscription billing plans managed at the gateway layer
  • Semi-integrated card-present flows to the same gateway account

Biller-direct & account management

CAMPPS

Powered by e-Complish

CAMPPS is our Customer Account Management & Payment Processing Solution for billers. Integration is typically account-file based rather than transaction-API based: you supply an account/balance file, customers pay through the channels we host, and we return a posting file (or real-time notification) that your billing system consumes.

  • Scheduled account-file exchange (SFTP) for balance and account lookup
  • Posting-file returns in your billing system's expected format
  • Hosted EBPP portal, IVR, agent-assisted, Text2Pay, and autopay channels
  • Real-time payment notification available where your platform supports it
  • Service-fee and convenience-fee programs configured per channel
  • ACH origination and card acceptance under a single remittance view
  • e-signature capture tied to enrollment and payment-plan workflows

In-person & attended payments

Card Present

Clover, PAX, Dejavoo

Card-present deployments run standalone or semi-integrated. Semi-integrated is the default recommendation: your application never touches cardholder data — it hands the amount to the terminal and receives a result — which keeps the point-of-sale environment out of PCI scope.

  • Semi-integrated terminal flows through the PayNimble Gateway
  • EMV chip, contactless, and mobile wallet acceptance
  • Clover developer platform for app-level POS integrations
  • Terminal estate management, key injection, and lifecycle support

Authorization & settlement

Acquiring & Settlement

Priority Commerce, Electronic Payments

Authorization and settlement run through our acquiring partners. Funding settles to the DDA you already use — there is no requirement to change banking relationships as part of an integration.

  • Interchange-plus card pricing and per-item ACH pricing
  • Settlement and funding reporting available through the gateway
  • Chargeback and dispute workflow support

Integration questions

Does PayNimble publish its own REST API?

No. PayNimble does not maintain a separate proprietary API surface. Integrations are delivered on the underlying partner platforms — primarily the NMI gateway API for transaction processing and e-Complish for biller account management. This is deliberate: you integrate to documented, independently maintained, widely deployed APIs rather than to a thin proprietary wrapper that becomes a single point of failure.

How do we get sandbox or test credentials?

Gateway sandbox credentials are issued per merchant account once a deployment is scoped. Contact us with the integration you have in mind and we will provision test credentials and connect your developers directly with the relevant partner support channel.

What does a typical integration timeline look like?

A hosted-page or Collect.js integration is usually days. A Direct Post or Three-Step Redirect integration with vaulting and webhooks is typically two to four weeks including certification. CAMPPS file-based biller integrations depend on your billing system and are scoped individually.

How is PCI scope handled?

Every recommended integration pattern keeps raw cardholder data out of your environment — hosted pages, Collect.js tokenization, Three-Step Redirect, and semi-integrated terminals all tokenize at the point of entry. We will tell you plainly which SAQ type a given design lands you in before you build it.

Can payments post back into our ERP or billing system?

Yes. We support webhook-driven and file-based posting into NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, and most utility, insurance, and healthcare billing platforms. The mechanism depends on what your system exposes.
