The global payment services company Visa has just launched Visa Developer, an open platform that allows software developers to access a range of Visa's payment technologies.
Developers can access services such as Visa Checkout, consumer transaction alerts, currency conversion, person-to-person payment capabilities and account holder verification. They will also have access to Visa test data.
With the rise of ecommerce around the world, more and more companies are looking at ways to receive payments online.
A Visa spokesperson commented on the launch of Visa Developer, saying: “We are unbundling Visa's full suite of products and services and giving developers open access to the underlying payment capabilities. We believe this will lead to the creation of entirely new commerce experiences with Visa technology integrated to enable greater security, scale and convenience when it comes time to pay.”Â
