What is the Mastercard Payment Gateway API?
The Mastercard Payment Gateway API is a single point of access for merchants to the entire host of payment services on the Mastercard Payment Gateway.
Key Features:
- Connects to a host of payment services on the Mastercard Payment Gateway including Risk Management, Tokenization, Hosted Session, 3-DSecure Authentication and much more.
- Offers two functionally-equivalent interfaces: REST-JSON (Representational State Transfer - JavaScript Object Notation), and NVP (Name Value Pair). For more information, see What are the Supported Protocols.
