A section with the general information about the payment platform, its structure, and operation.

This section contains general information about working with the Ecommpay payment platform. Use it to understand the fundamentals of how the platform works and how to establish the interaction with the platform via one or several interfaces.For example, if you need to accept payments with the use of the payment form by Ecommpay, issue refunds via an API, and have your employees monitor information via an online dashboard panel, you can use this section to learn about interfaces and components that fit the needs of your company, general steps of integration with the platform, workflows of specific payment types and their statuses, data signing, and different ways to check payment information. Based on the information you have learned, you can set up the most fitting solutions for your business.
