Follow these simple steps to integrate PaymentSpring’s secure gateway into your website.

Step 1:

Sandbox Access

Sign up for a free PaymentSpring sandbox account.

Step 2:

API Keys

Grab your API keys at the bottom of this page.

Step 3:

Library

Use a simple Ruby script to make it happen. HTTParty is used to send our API request (you can use any HTTP library).

# enable http requests
require 'httparty'

Step 4:

Request Build

Include your private API key as the username parameter in the basic auth header. The token parameter is generated client side and sent to your server (e.g., from a credit card payment form you build on your website).

# this is a token that paymentspring
# creates from a credit card or
# bank account number provided client side
token = '786e785f66'

# let's define some parameters
parameters = {
  basic_auth: { 
     username: 'test_110475af46ce01da96603e8477', # api key 
     password: '' # leave password blank 
  }, 
  body: { 
     token: token, # here's the token 
     amount: 999 # amount in cents 
  } 
}

Step 5:

Request Submission

Send your request! Our API is RESTful and accepts JSON, so it fits nicely into your code. You’ll get a JSON response back that gives you all the details you’ll need concerning your payment.

# point the request at paymentspring
url = 'https://api.paymentspring.com/api/v1/charge'

# send the request to make the charge
puts HTTParty.send(:post, url, parameters)
