Integration

To accept card payments with Windcave, use one of Gr4vy’s client-side integration methods to securely collect card details. Due to PCI compliance requirements, card data should never be sent directly to your servers. You can integrate using:
  • Embed - A pre-built, customizable payment form that handles the complete payment flow
  • Secure Fields - Embed card input fields for building custom payment forms while maintaining PCI compliance
  • Mobile SDKs - Native SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, and other platforms
These methods handle card data collection and tokenization. Once the card details are collected and tokenized, create a transaction through the Gr4vy API, which routes the payment to your configured Windcave connection based on your Flow rules or explicit payment_service_id parameter.

Testing

For sandbox testing, use the Windcave UAT Environment and the test credentials and card data provided by your Windcave representative.
