Custom Development Solutions

Tailored Payment Integrations for Complex Business Requirements

Not every payment workflow fits a standard solution. Businesses may require custom payment gateway integrations, specialized API functionality, additional transaction parameters, or payment processes designed around their existing systems.

HostedPCI provides custom payment API development services to help enterprises, SaaS platforms, and software providers address complex payment requirements without replacing their existing payment infrastructure.

As a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider with more than 15 years of experience, HostedPCI combines payment tokenization, secure data handling, and integration expertise to support customized payment workflows.

HostedPCI is not a payment gateway or processor. We provide the infrastructure and technical capabilities that connect businesses with their payment providers while helping them maintain control over their payment architecture.

What Are HostedPCI Custom Development Solutions?

HostedPCI Custom Development Solutions extend our existing payment services to support specialized business and technical requirements.

Our team works with organizations to develop custom payment APIs, adapt existing integrations, connect additional payment providers, and implement functionality that standard solutions may not offer.

When an existing HostedPCI service, such as Transparent Data Flow or File Dispatch, meets your requirements, we start with that solution. Custom development is available when additional functionality, specialized integration logic, or provider-specific customization is needed.

Depending on the project, HostedPCI can collaborate with your internal developers or take responsibility for the agreed development work.

The goal is to deliver payment functionality that fits your existing systems, business processes, and security requirements.

Our Custom Payment Development Services

Custom Payment API Development

Build and extend payment APIs to support transaction workflows that require additional functionality beyond standard integrations.

HostedPCI works with your technical team to develop solutions around your business requirements, including:

Whether you need to extend an existing API or implement new functionality, our team evaluates the technical requirements and develops an integration tailored to your workflow.

Custom Payment Gateway Integrations

Businesses may need to connect with a payment gateway or provider that is not currently supported by their existing integration.

HostedPCI can evaluate the provider’s API documentation, authentication requirements, transaction methods, and data formats to determine whether a custom integration is feasible.

Development may include adapting payment requests, mapping transaction responses, and supporting provider-specific functionality.

This helps organizations expand their payment capabilities while maintaining their existing applications and payment architecture.

Custom Detokenization Solutions

Some business processes require access to original cardholder information or direct delivery of payment data to an authorized external system.

HostedPCI offers existing tokenization and detokenization services. When these do not fully support a customer’s requirements, custom development can provide additional API functionality, specialized data delivery, or workflow-specific controls.

Custom solutions are designed around the authorized use of cardholder information, with applicable access permissions, authentication requirements, destination configurations, and audit logging evaluated during implementation.

Where original cardholder data is delivered to a merchant-controlled system, that receiving system may fall within the merchant’s PCI DSS scope.

For standard token-based data delivery requirements, explore HostedPCI’s dedicated Detokenization and Transparent Data Flow services.

Merchant Onboarding API Development

SaaS platforms and payment-enabled software providers often need to onboard their own merchants with external payment processors.

HostedPCI supports custom onboarding API development to help platforms integrate merchant setup workflows with supported payment providers.

Depending on the provider’s requirements, this may involve:

These integrations help businesses coordinate merchant onboarding while reducing repetitive development across their systems.

Custom API Formatting and Data Mapping

Payment providers and enterprise applications do not always communicate using the same API formats, field names, or response structures.

HostedPCI can develop custom API formatting and data mapping to support communication between existing systems and external payment providers.

This may include modifying request parameters, transforming response formats, mapping transaction fields, and accommodating provider-specific API requirements.

By adapting the integration to the systems involved, businesses can preserve established workflows while meeting new technical requirements.

How HostedPCI Custom Development Works

Step 1: Requirements Review

Our team begins by understanding your existing payment infrastructure, business processes, and technical requirements.

We review the systems involved, the intended payment workflow, and any limitations within your current integration.

Step 2: Solution Design and Scope

HostedPCI evaluates whether an existing service can meet your requirements or whether additional development is needed.

We work with your team to define the proposed functionality, integration approach, technical dependencies, development scope, and testing requirements.

Step 3: Development and Integration

Our developers implement the agreed functionality and coordinate with your technical team throughout the integration process.

Depending on the project, this may involve modifying existing APIs, adding gateway-specific features, or developing a specialized payment workflow.

Step 4: Testing and Deployment

Custom functionality is tested against the agreed requirements using available test or staging environments and supported provider test credentials.

Our team works with your organization to validate the integration, resolve identified issues, and coordinate the production deployment.

Step 5: Ongoing Support and Maintenance

Following deployment, support and maintenance for the custom integration are provided as defined in the project agreement.

Changes to third-party APIs, additional functionality, and ongoing maintenance requirements are evaluated according to the agreed support arrangements and development scope.

Benefits of HostedPCI Custom Payment Development

Maintain Your Existing Payment Infrastructure

Address new integration requirements without replacing your current payment applications, gateways, or business systems.

Support Complex Payment Workflows

Develop specialized functionality for transaction processing, merchant onboarding, third-party integrations, and payment data handling.

Reduce Unnecessary Cardholder Data Exposure

Use HostedPCI’s tokenization and payment data handling capabilities to limit how cardholder information enters or passes through internal systems.

Depending on the implementation, this can help reduce PCI DSS scope.

Work With an Experienced Payment Infrastructure Provider

HostedPCI brings more than 15 years of payment industry experience, PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider infrastructure, and expertise in tokenization, gateway connectivity, and payment integration.

Businesses can work with a single provider for supported payment infrastructure and related custom development requirements.

Who Can Benefit From Custom Payment Development?

Enterprise Organizations

Businesses managing complex payment environments, multiple payment providers, or integrations across several applications and departments.

SaaS and E-commerce Platforms

Software providers that require custom payment APIs, merchant onboarding workflows, or specialized integrations for their customers.

Travel, Hospitality, and Property Management Platforms

Organizations operating booking, reservation, or property management systems that require customized payment workflows or connections to external providers.

Example: Custom Payment Gateway Integration for a Property Management Platform

A property management software platform processes rent payments and other recurring charges through an existing payment integration.

The company wants to connect with another payment provider, but the provider requires additional transaction parameters and an API structure that the platform’s current integration does not support.

Rebuilding the payment application would create unnecessary development work.

With HostedPCI Custom Development:

  1. Review: The software provider shares its existing payment workflow and the new provider’s API specifications.
  2. Design: HostedPCI identifies the required transaction fields, response mappings, and integration changes.
  3. Develop: Our team implements the agreed custom API functionality.
  4. Test: The integration is tested using the provider’s available test environment and relevant transaction scenarios.
  5. Deploy: The platform goes live with the updated payment integration while keeping its existing software workflow.

This approach allows the platform to address provider-specific requirements without replacing its existing payment architecture.

This is an illustrative example of a potential custom development project.
