Electronic payments company Interswitch Group is finally enabling developers in Nigeria to create new digital products and services by availing them access to its API.
While at the Interswitch Developers’ Summit held in Abuja recently, developers from all over the city gathered to learn more about the remarkable possibilities that Interswitch Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs) offer.
Products and Developers Relations Executive Tochukwu Achebe said the API plug-in would enable businesses to generate their USSD, QR codes and wallet. Achebe hinted that the API marketplace will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2022.
“With our developer community, we are building an ecosystem where we can receive feedback, go to markets quickly with our solutions and create an opportunity for everyone to integrate and build their solutions seamlessly around the APIs. We have also created a sandbox to allow developers to test API endpoints and confirm their effectiveness.”said Achebe.
Group Head, Business, Merchant Acquiring at Interswitch, Jeffrey Williams-Edem, said the organisation created a platform and an ecosystem that allows developers to build Point of Sale (POS) applications. He listed some of the recent improvements made on the Quickteller payment platform and the POS terminals.
According to Williams-Edem, users of the Quickteller Business app would be able to view real-time data on settlement and refunds and also initiate dispute settlements. He added that the storefront; payment link; electronic invoicing; transaction status; customer data and insights coupled with payment on the web and POS are some of the functions that have been integrated into the platform.
