Payments

Payments for developers.

Charge, bill, and tax on one API. Built for founders, developers, eng managers, and the business that owns the money.

Lives in your code. One key. Versioned SDKs. Leave-able by design.

pnpm add @vortex-api/payments-sdk
import { createVortex, getMerchantAccountSettlements } from "@vortex-api/payments-sdk/2026-08";

// vb_test_ key = sandbox
const vortex = createVortex({
  apiKey: process.env.VORTEX_API_KEY,
});

const { data } = await getMerchantAccountSettlements({
  client: vortex,
  path: { merchantAccountId: "mer_…" },
});

Customers

Built for the people who ship money.

Founders, developers, engineering managers, and the business that owns the P&L.

  • Founders

    Take payments under your brand without hiring a payments team. Sandbox today. Leave if you outgrow us.

  • Developers

    One API key. OpenAPI. TypeScript, Python, Go. Charges, merchants, settlements as inspectable objects.

  • Engineering managers

    Unblock the team with versioned SDKs and a migrate-away path. Settlement is readable — not a black box.

  • Business & ops

    Your name on the statement. Gross − fees = net on the settlement object. Tax liability stays yours — we say so.

Why Vortex

PayFac infrastructure you can actually ship on.

Payments, billing, and tax on one money path — beta, self-serve.

  • One money path

    Charge, subscribe, and quote tax with the same key. No bolt-on afterthoughts.

  • Your brand on the statement

    You are the face of the payment. Merchants and customers see you — not a generic processor label.

  • Settlement you can open

    Gross, fees, net. Sandbox examples match the objects your finance team will read later.

  • Designed to leave

    Versioned SDKs and docs that include migrate-away. We sell trust by not locking the door.

What you get

From sandbox key to money moving.

  • Minutes to a key

    Open the dashboard, copy a vb_test_ key, call the API. No sales call required for sandbox.

  • 173 operations

    OpenAPI surface for charges, merchants, settlements, webhooks, and more — not a toy demo API.

  • Three SDKs

    TypeScript, Python, and Go. Same key semantics. Same objects.

  • Local webhook forward

    Listen on localhost. Signed events into your app while you build.

Get a sandbox key.

Founders open the dashboard. Devs open the docs. Eng managers unblock the team. Business gets inspectable settlement.
