Hellgate® Documentation

Hellgate® is the next-generation payment orchestration platform designed to streamline and secure your payment processes. It offers PCI-compliant card payments as a service, enabling businesses to achieve PCI/DSS compliance swiftly. With Hellgate®, you can process payments without being locked into a specific payment processor, providing the freedom to choose and switch between processors as needed. Additionally, Hellgate® simplifies network token management by allowing businesses to obtain and manage network tokens without the complexity of dealing with individual card networks.

Hellgate® is provided as a programmable platform as a service and designed around four main domains:

Payments

Payments is the center piece of Hellgate®. It is the core of our platform and the main entry point for all payment-related operations. It provides a unified API for processing payments, managing transactions, and handling various payment methods. Our flow-based architecture allows you to create custom payment flows tailored to your business needs. You can easily integrate with multiple payment processors, gateways, and services, enabling you to optimize your payment processes and improve conversion rates.

The Payments domain integrates Tokens and Authentications to deliver a seamless payment experience out of the box. For full control, you can also use Tokens and Authentications independently.

Tokens

Our Tokens cater for seamless card payments in full compliance with PCI/DSS. It provides a secure and efficient way to manage cardholder data, allowing you to tokenize sensitive information and reduce the scope of your PCI compliance efforts. With Tokens, you can easily create, manage, and use tokens for various payment operations, ensuring that your customers' data is protected at all times.

Tokens also includes a powerful network token management system, enabling you to obtain and manage network tokens without the complexity of dealing with individual card networks. This simplifies the process of managing network tokens and allows you to take advantage of the benefits they offer, such as improved security and reduced fraud.

Authentications

Our Authentications is designed to help you manage and implement various authentication methods for your payment processes. It provides a unified API for handling 3D Secure (3DS) authentication, enabling you to easily integrate with different 3DS providers and services. This allows you to enhance the security of your payment transactions and reduce the risk of fraud.

We generalize authentications to support current FIDO standards. With that Hellgate® supports delegated authentication (based on 3-D Secure) and FIDO (Passkeys). It is the key enabling for our mobile wallet offering, which allows you to create a seamless and secure payment experience for your customers.

Mobile Wallets

Our Mobile Wallets services and SDKs turn any device into a payments wallet, with in-car payments as a key use case. Major automakers already use our technology to enable seamless mobility payments. Find more information about our in-car payment offerings on our website.
