API Partners

API partner program for fintech resellers

Integrate Payonclick's live APIs into your own app or portal, and offer bill payments, recharge, money transfer, verification, AEPS, Micro ATM and UPI cash withdrawal to your customers under your own brand. This page sets out what you can resell today, what you need to qualify and what stays your responsibility.

  • Seven live partner API products
  • One key and one signature scheme
  • Scoped keys with IP whitelisting
  • Onboarding after KYC and a use-case review

Who the program is for

  • Fintech and agent-network apps that want bill payments, verification or money transfer inside their own product.
  • Software companies building lending, logistics, HR or marketplace software that needs bank account and document checks.
  • Retail networks with a technical team that prefer to run their own front end instead of the Payonclick app.

If you don't have developers, a white-label platform, or a distributor account on payonclick.in, is usually a better fit.

What you need to qualify

1

A registered business

API partnerships are for registered businesses, not individuals.

2

Business KYC

The KYC documents our team asks for, for the business and its authorised signatory.

3

A use-case review

Tell us who your customers are, how you will use each API and the volumes you expect.

4

Technical readiness

A server with a fixed public IP for whitelisting, and a developer who can sign requests.

5

A funded wallet

API transactions are paid from your prepaid wallet, so fund it before going live.

How a partner account works

  • API keys with permissions. Each key gets only what it needs: bills for bill payments, transfer for money transfer and verify for verification.
  • Server-to-server security. Every request carries a Bearer key and a timestamp, and every POST and DELETE is signed with HMAC-SHA256. Only whitelisted IPs are accepted, and each key has its own rate limit, 60 requests a minute by default.
  • TPIN on money movement. Bill payments and transfers carry your account TPIN.
  • Idempotent references. A retry with the same client_reference returns the original result instead of a second transaction.
  • Audit trail. Every partner API call is recorded with secrets redacted, and only a hash of each key is stored.
  • One reference. The API reference covers authentication, signing, errors and every endpoint.

Your responsibilities as a reseller

  • Describe your role honestly. Don't call your business a bank, a Bharat Bill Payment Operating Unit, an agent institution or a licensed payment company unless it is one.
  • Know your customers. Verify the businesses and people you serve to the standard your model needs, and keep the records.
  • Get consent for verification. Verification checks return personal data, which the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 governs. Check documents only with consent and for a clear purpose.
  • Handle complaints. Give your customers a way to complain, and use the status and complaint endpoints to resolve their issues.
  • Respect network rules. Bharat Connect, bank and money transfer rules limit who may offer a service and through whom. Check what your model allows before you onboard sub-agents.
  • Keep your keys safe. Keep keys on your server only, rotate a key the moment it is exposed, and never ship one inside a mobile app.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a sandbox for testing?

No. Keys are issued live. Build against the read-only endpoints first, such as balance, bill categories, billers, supported banks and the verification catalogue, which move no money. Then run small real transactions.

Can I set my own prices for my customers?

What you charge your own customers is your business decision, within the rules of each network and the terms of your partner agreement. Our charges to you are shared by our team after the use-case review.

Can I offer recharge or AEPS through the partner API?

Yes. Recharge, AEPS, Micro ATM and UPI cash withdrawal are live partner APIs, alongside BBPS, verification and DMT. Payouts, CMS and PPI wallet fund transfer are offered as white-label or custom modules.

Do the APIs send webhooks?

Yes, for AEPS, Micro ATM, UPI cash withdrawal and recharge, which send success, pending or failed events to the URL you register. BBPS, verification and DMT have no webhooks, so treat their status endpoints as the source of truth, and use the history endpoints for daily reconciliation on every product.

What commission do API partners earn?

We don't publish commission figures. Charges and commission depend on the APIs you use and your volumes, and our team shares them after reviewing your use case.

Can I onboard sub-agents under my partner account?

Only where the rules of the service allow it. Bharat Connect, bank and money transfer arrangements can restrict sub-agents, so describe your network in the use-case review and our team will tell you what applies.
