By Nitin Chandel, SVP, Developer Platform.
Welcome to Visa Developer. This is the beginning of your journey to reinvent commerce. I am confident this will become one of your favorite resources to build, collaborate, create and help shape the way the world shops and pays.
Visa Developer was created in collaboration with our clients and partners. Developers at Visa, banks, retailers and technology companies tested our easy to sign on portal, tools and documentation. The result, we believe, will accelerate the creation of innovative payment solutions and the migration to digital commerce.
WHAT IS VISA DEVELOPER?
Visa Developer consists of the following:
- A web portal providing a single-entry point for getting access to Visa’s capabilities.The portal provides documents, sample code, reference projects, community interactions, announcements, customer support, and blogs from thought leaders. Everything you need to start building your payment applications and solutions.
- An infrastructure consisting of sandboxes, test data, detailed logging, and strong analytics. Once you start building your project, our helpful developer tools and resources will help optimize your coding time to the bare minimum.
- A core set of APIs enabling you to develop diverse workflows. Mash-up these RESTful APIs with each other or 3rdparty APIs to begin building your value proposition.
Join us in our pursuit to displace cash and bring the security, convenience, and global reach of digital commerce to consumers, banks, merchants, businesses and governments everywhere.
Let’s Build Together!
