OpenGateway Overview

Feature Overview

  • Payment Gateways

    • Use one or more of our supported payment gateways.
    • Change gateways at any time without making code changes.
    • Recurring transactions use your gateway's native recurring billing, so that credit card information isn't stored locally.

  • Transactions

    • Process credit card transactions in any currency.
    • Receive an immediate confirmation/failure notice of the transaction.
    • Specify on a per-transaction basis which gateway you would like to use.
    • Complete charge records available via CP or API.
    • Simple Refunds for any transaction/gateway.

    • Update credit card details linked to a subscription.
    • Push notifications of payments, cancellations, expirations, and upcoming charges can be made via HTTP POSTS.

  • Recurring Plans

    • Plans are a collection of recurring billing data such as charge interval, # of occurrences, free trial, and notification URL.
    • Simply send a plan ID with your Recur transaction request to create a recurring transaction based on a plan.
    • Check a customer's active plans to see their current subscriptions.

  • Email Management

    • Create an unlimited number of automatic emails which are sent during specific events such as a new charge, new recurring charge, expiration, cancellation, upcoming expiration, upcoming charge, etc.
    • Include dynamic information in each email such as charge amount, customer information, plan information, etc.

  • Customer Data

    • Not required for any transactions (except for payment gateways such as PayPal that require full billing addresses).
    • Create customer records automatically during transactions or through separate "New Customer" requests.
    • Retrieve all active customer plans, charge history, and profile information.

  • A Multi-Tenant Platform

    • Create unlimited "Client" accounts via the API or Control Panel.
    • Each account is a full-featured OpenGateway account under your control. They can login via the CP or have full API access.
    • Perfect for Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) billing, allowing your users to accept payments through their own merchant accounts, or managing multiple billing operations with one platform.

  • Reporting

    • Full records of each order, its status, linked gateway, etc.
    • Generate reports of income filtered by timeframe, recurring plan, linked gateway, customer, etc.
    • Full customer database (if you choose to send customer information).

  • Coupons

    • Easily pass coupon codes in your payment requests to alter the charge amounts.
    • Coupons can be percentage-based or fixed dollar amounts.
    • For recurring charges, you can alter the initial charge, recurring charge, or both with one code.

  • Security

    • API and Control Panel connections are secured with a 256-bit encrypted SSL connection to protect against data interception.
    • All gateway credentials are encrypted before storage. They can be deleted entirely at anytime.
