Ready to scale your payments offerings? Follow these simple steps to get started.
Step 1: Get Authenticated
To use the borderless™ API, your API calls will need to be authenticated by creating a JWT Token. To learn more about generating a JWT Token and getting Authenticated please visit the Authentication Guide.
Step 2: Create Child Accounts
Child accounts are created for each marketplace or business you wish to on-board to process payments. Child account will be able to create their own Contacts (payment recipients), make payments, pay-in balances, and more. Visit the Account Types section to learn more about creating Child accounts.
Step 3: Add Contacts For Child Accounts (Optional)
Contacts are payment recipients and can be borderless™ users or non-borderless™ users. All Contacts have a unique borderless™ @handle. To learn more about borderless™ @handles please visit @Handle Overview
-
Pay a borderless™ user by entering their @handle (no sensitive banking information required).
-
Pay a non-borderless™ users by adding them as a Contact. Visit the Contacts API Guide to learn more about adding Contacts.
Pro Tip
Skip adding Contacts:
You can pay any borderless™ users' @handle without adding them as a Contact. Learn more about using borderless @handles in the @Handle Overview guide.
Pay to emails. borderless™ will automatically add them to your Contacts list once the funds are claimed. Learn more about paying to emails in our Claim Payouts guide.
