PayNearMe for iGaming provides operators and players with a seamless, more reliable payment process for gaming. Our lightweight, mobile-first solution allows players to move money using any supported payment type, including credit and debit cards, ACH, cash, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

PayNearMe's igaming solution supports three tiers of integration options:

• Hosted Consumer Portals
• Hosted Embedded Client
• Full API Integration

Hosted Consumer Portals provide a pre-built, turnkey solution to get cashier functionality up-and-running faster. It requires no development work and eliminates the Operator’s PCI compliance obligations and fraud liability. PayNearMe also provides Business Portals, where your Customer Service agents can make deposits on behalf of players, and Operators can track and generate reporting on deposits and withdrawals. For more information about Hosted Portals, contact your Sales representative.

The Embedded Client leverages a drop-in payment form that captures player and payment type data to tokenize and/or complete a deposit/withdrawal. PayNearMe can customize the payment/withdrawal form to conform to the Operator’s specific branding standards so that the transition from the Operator’s site to PayNearMe and back is smooth and practically indiscernible. This solution can be integrated quickly with less development work than a full API integration. PayNearMe provides the Operator with a Javascript library that loads within an iframe and calls a snippet of JS to initiate the client form with the Operator’s preferred settings.

A Full API Integration gives Operators the ability to customize their UI/UX and automate their workflows. As a more fluid and flexible method of service and information delivery, PayNearMe’s API provides Operators with an efficient way to update and distribute changes/enhancements. The API uses the same calls and callbacks as the embedded client but gives Operators full control of their cashier pages.

The Basics

Before diving into integration details, you will need to understand some basic PayNearMe terminology and concepts. All PayNearMe merchants have a site with a Site ID. A site is simply a representation of your company. An Operator site is where players can initiate deposits and withdrawals. An ISV site is for gaming platform providers that manage the funds and wallet functionality for the Operator sites they service (also known as child sites). ISV sites can create Operator sites, which can then leverage PayNearMe services.

To capture deposits and withdrawals, all Operator sites must have orders, which are represented by Order IDs. Think of orders like cage cashiers that facilitate the movement of funds to and from players. Every transaction is associated with a unique Order ID. Order amounts can vary but must be within business, regulatory, and, if applicable, player-defined limits.
