NetValve Documentation

NetValve is a payment gateway that lets you accept credit card payments, manage subscriptions, and process refunds through a single integration. We handle the complexity of processor connectivity, 3D Secure authentication, and PCI-compliant card storage so you can focus on your product.

This documentation covers everything you need to integrate NetValve into your application — from accepting your first payment to managing recurring billing.

Choose Your Integration Path​

NetValve offers several ways to accept payments. The right choice depends on your platform, your PCI compliance requirements, and how much control you need over the checkout experience.

Hosted Payment Page (HPP)​

Best for: Merchants who want to start accepting payments quickly with minimal development effort.

NetValve hosts the entire payment form for you. Your site redirects the customer to our payment page (or loads it in an iframe), we collect card details, process the payment, and redirect the customer back to your site with the result.

  • No card data touches your servers — simplest PCI compliance path
  • Supports credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
  • Customizable styling via CSS overrides
  • Available as a full-page redirect or embedded iframe (slim_mode)

Payment API with Token Fields​

Best for: Merchants who want a custom checkout experience while keeping card data off their servers.

You build your own payment form using NetValve Token Fields — secure iframe-based input fields that embed directly into your page. The fields collect and tokenize card data client-side, giving you a payment token that your server sends to the NetValve Sale API.

This gives you full control over the look and feel of your checkout while maintaining PCI compliance.

  • Card fields render as iframes within your page — sensitive data never hits your server
  • Full CSS customization to match your branding
  • JavaScript SDK with events, validation callbacks, and form control
  • Combine with 3D Secure for SCA compliance
  • Supports token storage for returning customers and recurring payments

Payment API (Direct)​

Best for: PCI Level 1 certified merchants who handle card data server-side.

If your infrastructure is already PCI DSS certified to handle raw card numbers, you can call the NetValve Payment API directly with card details in the request body. This gives you maximum flexibility and control over the entire payment flow.

  • Full access to all transaction types: Sale, Auth, Capture, Refund, Void
  • Token creation for card-on-file and recurring billing
  • 3D Secure integration via standalone APIs
  • Smart Routing across multiple processors
  • Webhook notifications for async transaction events
