To accommodate various business needs and technical capabilities Volt offers multiple integration channels. This allows you to choose whether to use Volt’s existing payment pages and components or to build all or part of the user interface (UI) on your side.

Unified Global Payments API is the core of all integration channels, specifically the POST /payments endpoint. This endpoint is used to initiate payments across all regions and checkout types. While the Global API parameters are consistent, some regional parameters may vary depending on the selected checkout type and local regulatory requirements. This structure allows you to integrate once and simply include additional fields when enabling a new region.

Depending on your needs, you can choose which type of integration you want to use. Each integration type offers unique advantages and can be tailored to your business needs.

On the API level, integration channel is determined by X-Volt-Initiation-Channel HTTP header, passed along in POST /payments endpoint.
