Gateway API

The API Endpoint Documentation references our well-supported Gateway API that is used for custom integrations.

The Gateway API was built with additional resiliency and scalability in mind. Implementations with the Gateway have the following features:

Zip will make a server-side webhook callback API request to the merchant's platform to confirm the success/failure of all operations, such as order authorizations, refunds, captures, and voids. This removes the need to poll for order processing updates from Zip.
The merchant will receive data on callbacks and user redirects to create the order in their system with all the data needed instead of multiple subsequent calls to Zip's API.
Requests to the Zip gateway API must contain a header with a signature to secure requests. This implementation results in less API calls to authenticate from our identity provider and no need for the merchant to manage credential caching.
Support for deferred order confirmation.
