How do I integrate my app with Paylink?

[Mario R. Perez]

Good evening, it is my first post in this forum, I am developing a billing module, my client asks me if payments can be integrated through the PAYLINK platform, does anyone have experience? if anyone can guide me.
Thanks

Does PAYLINK have an API you can use?

Good evening, it is my first post in this forum, I am developing a billing module, my client asks me if payments can be integrated through the PAYLINK platform, does anyone have experience? if anyone can guide me.

Information to find out includes.

1. As @GPGeorge has said, Does Paylink have an API?

2. What type of API, e.g REST

3. What programming languages are supported by the API.

4. If VBA is included , is there any sample from Paylink using VBA.

5. If VBA is not included what programming languages are included/supported by the API.

6. IF 5 above is correct, can the supported language be consumed from VBA.

Also you might have to look at access web, since most API are meant to be used via internet.

They probably won't have a VBA example but they should have a VB example.

I would recommend you ask PayLink technical support first of all if they have ODBC connectivity - and enough documentation to safely use it.

Failing that, the second choice would be an API that may or may not (likely) require you to utilize a platform other than VBA.

Most likely, though VB is losing its place among the preferred platforms in use /supported by payment gateways.

Javascript can't handle objects. That is the whole point of VBA. It is VB with object support for whatever application it is embedded in. VBA is embedded in non-Microsoft products as well as all of the Office offerings.

True indeed. The "Reflection" terminal emulator product uses it. Decidedly NOT a Microsoft product.

Javascript can handle objects well.

Alternatively any dll for vb will do the trick, so find out if paylink has a vb dll.

So looking at paylink website

The PayLink - Payment link and gateway

Get paid using payment links. Create a payment link and send it to the customers using SMS, whatsapp or messenger. Free website building tool

It seems all of the integrations are with web-based platforms, you might have to contact their support.

It is the objects of Word, Excel, PP, Access, etc that make VBA "different" for each implementation. So, you would need a JavaScriptA that could be modified for each application it would be embedded in. It is not a straight port.
