Global API

Welcome to the Getnet Global API, also known as the Single Entry Point (SEP). This is our unified REST API for both online (Ecommerce) and in-person (Card Present) payment integrations. By using a single integration, you gain complete control over your payment flows, user experience, and hardware interactions across the globe.

Unified Omnichannel Integration

The Global API enables merchants to access Getnet’s ecosystem across multiple countries through a single technical interface. Whether you are processing a credit card on a website or a physical "Smart POS" terminal in a retail store, the Global API centralizes your operations.

This API is designed for PCI-compliant businesses that require a fully customized, omnichannel solution. Integrate once to operate seamlessly across all supported markets in Latin America and Europe.

3DS Authentication: Comply with SCA requirements using our 3D Secure guide.

Card Present (In-Person Payments)

Integrate physical payment hardware directly into your software ecosystem:

Terminal Integration: Create single-step or pre-authorized payments on physical devices.
QR Code Payments: Generate and process dynamic QR codes for in-person mobile payments.
