Everything you need to integrate with the Kanooga payments exchange.
Platform Overview
Kanooga sits between merchants and acquirers, routing each payment transaction to the acquirer offering the lowest processing rate in real time. Integration is designed to be straightforward: merchants connect their payment stream once, and Kanooga handles routing automatically from that point forward.
For Merchants
Connect your POS or e-commerce payment stream to Kanooga's platform through a one-time integration. Once connected, every transaction is automatically routed to the lowest-cost acquirer. You get a real-time dashboard with full visibility into routing decisions, fee breakdowns, and transaction volume. All data is also available via API.
For Acquirers
Connect to the exchange to receive transaction flow from merchants on the platform. Submit flash bids to temporarily lower your rates for specific card types and time windows, attracting volume on demand. Monitor bid performance, transaction flow, and volume metrics through the dashboard or API.
Gateway Integration
Already have a switching or multi-acquiring gateway? Kanooga can serve as an external routing decision engine for your existing setup. Your gateway handles the switch; Kanooga provides the routing logic via API. Contact us for integration details.
Getting Started
Integration follows three steps:
Reach out through the contact form or email. Our team will walk you through the technical requirements and set up your account on the platform.
Integrate your POS, e-commerce, or gateway system with Kanooga's platform. This is a one-time setup. For existing gateways, API integration allows Kanooga to act as the routing decision engine without replacing your current stack.
Once connected, transactions are routed automatically. Use the real-time dashboard to monitor performance, review reports, and access data through the API.
Security & Compliance
Kanooga is built on PCI DSS-compliant infrastructure. All transaction data is handled with enterprise-grade security standards. The platform is designed for ultra-low latency, ensuring routing decisions happen in milliseconds without compromising data integrity.
