Vonage Payment API
If enabled, you can implement your own solution for taking payments during a call. In addition to taking payments, the API offers features such as getting information for the online form from a backend system—such as a CRM—or updating the system with the payment result.
You can also use the Payment API to send a payment link to a client who is not on the call. The client can use the link for up to 72 hours to make a payment. The result of their payment can be delivered—using webhooks—back to the CRM or other backend system.
The Payment API is intended for use by developers, engineers and anyone else who is comfortable integrating APIs. For information about Vonage's Payment API, see Payment API.
