Payment Provider Protocol - Overview

Check the new Payments onboarding guide. We created this guide to improve the onboarding experience for developers at VTEX. It assembles all documentation on our Developer Portal about Payments and is organized by focusing on the developer's journey. The Payment Provider Protocol is a set of definitions to help you integrate your payment processing API into VTEX platform, including sub-acquirers, acquirers, gateways and custom payment services.

To achieve this, you need to implement a web API (REST) following the specifications described in this documentation.

To learn more about the Payment Provider Protocol, check our Help Center article.
