Advanced Integration: Banxa Native API

Overview

In addition to Banxa’s standard embedded and hosted integration options, Banxa offers an advanced integration model known as the Banxa Native API.

Native is a headless API combined with a mobile payment SDK, allowing partners to orchestrate their own pricing, identity, and order flows while supporting native in-app payment experiences for Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card payments.

This model is designed for partners who want full control over the user experience and transaction lifecycle, rather than embedding a Banxa-managed checkout or redirect flow.

When Native Makes Sense

You should consider the Native API if you want to:

• Own the full user journey end to end
• Design custom KYC and payment flows inside your app
• Avoid hosted checkout or redirect-based UX
• Integrate payments directly into a native mobile or web experience
• Build advanced orchestration logic across identity, pricing and orders

How Native Differs from Embedded / Hosted Integrations

With standard embedded or hosted integrations, Banxa manages most of the flow:

• Hosted checkout or widget UI
• Managed compliance orchestration
• Predefined user journey

With Native, you take control:

• Headless APIs for pricing, identity and orders
• Native payment SDKs for in-app payment collection
• Partner-defined flow and UX
• Deeper control over identity and transaction lifecycle
