Integrate Hyperswitch

Don't want to write code? Check out the Hyperswitch Postman Collection for a no-code way to get started with Hyperswitch's API.

You will be using both a server and a client-side component of Hyperswitch to complete the integration.

The payment flow begins once your user has added products to a shopping cart and now wishes to make a payment.

Step 1: Your server will create a payment with Hyperswitch server, to get a client_secret.

Step 2: Your website loads and initiates the Hyperswitch SDK to render a payment widget to the customer. Depending on the customer's currency and country, the list of payment methods are displayed to the customer.

Step 3: The customer chooses a payment method, enters additional information (say card details) and hits the pay button.

Step 4: Hyperswitch SDK securely transmits the payment information to Hyperswitch Server. The Hyperswitch server processes the payment with the most suitable payment processor, as per the your smart routing algorithm.

Step 5: Upon successful payment, the customer is automatically redirected to your payment status confirmation page.
