Accept payments using your backend server. The Server Post API is an HTTP service that allows merchants to directly integrate with North. Payment details can be sent from an agent- or customer-driven user interface through their servers, directly to our in-house processor for real-time payment processing to complete the payment.

Reduced PCI Scope Solution

Combining this API with a Semi-Integrated or hosted solution, such as the EPX Hosted Pay Page, offers the advanced functionality of the API while reducing your PCI responsibility. When a transaction is initiated from a product that limits your PCI responsibility, such as the EPX Hosted Pay Page, a PCI-secure transaction token is returned. The token can be passed to the Server Post API to perform additional advanced functions.
