For many businesses, Paystar is a turnkey solution. We provide a hosted payer portal that can be customized to fit your needs. We also provide a hosted biller that can be used to manage your accounts and payments. (In many cases, all we need is an account balance or statement file)
For businesses with more complex needs, Paystar can be integrated into your existing systems. We provide a RESTful API's, webhooks, and a JavaScript SDK to help you get started depending on your needs. In addition, our hosted portals can be used in conjunction with your existing systems if desired.
