Tools

Paymentology provides a wide range of tools, testing capabilities, and reports to ensure your API integrations function as desired.
​
Once you sign up, you’ll get access to various utilities and resources you can use to get up and running with the API quickly and without any obstacles.

SimPos

SimPOS is a transaction simulator tool that allows you to simulate remote API transactions.

For example: you can use SimPOS to test that the flow of virtual card transactions within the Companion Card API is working properly.

Checksum generator

The Checksum Generator​​ allows you to calculate the checksum for a transaction based on a terminal password value and the request data.
​
It replicates the same process that happens during authentication. You can use the tool to validate that your own calculated checksum is the same as the one the Paymentology Sprint system generates.

XML Generator

The XML Generator​​ allows you to generate a valid XML request (including a checksum string) from your request parameters.
​
To ensure compatibility, you can use the tool to confirm if your own generated XML requests, including the checksum, are the same with those that Paymentology generates.

XML Poster

The XML Poster​​ allows you to post XML requests directly to the Paymentology Sprint system.
​
In case there is no other route, you can use the XML Poster to post requests created with the XML Generator to the Paymentology Sprint systems.
​
For example, at the start of your testing, you’ll not have a system in place for calling the Companion Card Local API; therefore, you can use this tool to post requests to the API directly—such as when creating your first test card.

3D Secure Screen Customization

The 3D Secure Screen Customization tool is available to clients who have already signed up with Paymentology and are using the Sprint platform and are implementing the 3D Secure functionality for your chosen API (Card or Companion).
