Payment Communication layer for IPA 1.9

Payment Communication layer for IPA by Ingenico

The Payment Communication Layer for IPA is a middleware component that streamlines secure, reliable communication between merchant applications, payment devices, and Ingenico’s IPA services. It abstracts complex payment messaging, consolidates multiple connectivity paths, and enforces consistent security and orchestration policies so you can integrate payments faster and operate with greater resilience.

Key capabilities:

• Unified integration: Provides a single, consistent API for POS, e-commerce gateways, mobile apps, and unattended endpoints to interact with IPA.
• Protocol mediation: Translates between device, network, and processor protocols to simplify heterogeneous or legacy environments.
• Security by design: Supports end-to-end encryption, certificate lifecycle management, key rotation, and secure session handling; helps reduce exposure of sensitive data in merchant applications.
• Resilience and uptime: Offers intelligent retries, store-and-forward, offline queuing (where permitted), and automatic failover to maintain transaction continuity.
• Transaction coverage: Handles core flows such as purchase, refund, reversal, pre-authorization/capture, tipping, and support for popular contact, contactless, and wallet-based payments.
• Observability: Delivers structured logging, correlation IDs, and health metrics for easier monitoring, troubleshooting, and SLA reporting.
• Deployment flexibility: Suitable for on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-native setups; compatible with a range of operating systems and development stacks.
• Device and channel breadth: Works with Ingenico terminals, mPOS/softPOS form factors, kiosks, and unattended devices.
• Developer enablement: Offers SDKs, sample code, and sandbox environments to accelerate integration and testing.

Benefits:

• Faster time to integrate payments across multiple channels and devices
• Reduced operational complexity and maintenance for payment connectivity
• Improved security posture and consistent policy enforcement
• Higher transaction success rates through robust error handling and failover
• Better insights and control via comprehensive telemetry and logs
