Get Started

Use this guide to take your first steps with FT Technologies. If you are not sure whether FT Technologies is the right connection for your integration, see the FT Technologies Overview.

Get Started Using the REST API

FT Technologies transactions are submitted through the same REST payments API you use for standard card authorizations — there is no separate SDK or endpoint base to install. You need a account enabled for FT Technologies processing before your requests route through the FT Technologies connection.

Prerequisites

Before making API requests, ensure the following:

• Your account is enabled for FT Technologies processing. Contact your representative to enable this connection.
• You have REST API authentication credentials. See the Steps below if you have not yet registered.

Steps

1. Create your account and register for REST API credentials: if you do not already have a account, create one, then register and obtain authentication credentials for the REST API. When your system is REST-compliant, test the integration by sending requests to the test server.

   See Getting Started with the REST API for account creation, registration, and credential setup.

2. Review the supported card networks: FT Technologies supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other global card brands, plus Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) domestic card brands such as Codensa, Cabal, and Elo. See Supported Networks in the Overview for the full list.

3. Send a test authorization: submit a POST /pts/v2/payments request to the test server to confirm your integration reaches FT Technologies successfully. See Authorization for the required fields and a REST example.

4. Explore the other transaction types: once authorization succeeds, see Endpoints for the full list of Card-Not-Present, Card-Present, and Mass Transit operations FT Technologies supports.
