The TxVia payment processing developer network supports application development by TxVia clients, providers of products and services seeking network-based payments integration, and professional development organizations.

While applications can be created for proprietary use, they can also be commercialized through a B2B app storetype marketplace offered as part of the TxVia payment processing developer network. However, membership in the network requires pre-approval.

Moreover, TxVia payment processing developer network provides access to other development tools and resources, including reference processing models, modeling artifacts, documentation, training and support, as well as to TxDev, the firm’s web-based integrated development environment.

Now, TxVia is extending TxDev to a broader development community. Developers can create applications for their own use or use by others, and with TxVia’s platform-as-aservice (PaaS) delivery model, clients can choose which applications they’d like to have included in their platforms.

Anil Aggarwal, chairman and CEO of TxVia, said: “While we offer application programming interfaces (APIs) in limited, appropriate cases, we’ve introduced a far better approach to modernizing payments by empowering developers: We offer access to a web-based integrated development environment (or IDE), that we call TxDev, with predefined built-in extension points. TxDev allows developers to efficiently, profoundly and securely extend the capabilities of processing platforms to meet their needs.

“TxDev makes building applications fast and easy, and we believe the introduction of the TxVia payment processing developer network will bring tremendous innovation to the payments industry, especially in emerging growth segments like prepaid cards.”
