PSP Connectivity · Two-way Bridge

Connect your PSP.
Both directions.

Payment Bridge solves two core PSP connectivity problems — getting transactions from iGaming platforms that haven't integrated you yet (DevCode (PIQ), Corefy, Praxis, PayNetEasy, SoftGamings, FinteqHub, and more), and sending transactions to acquirers without building a direct integration for each one.

CASE 1
Platform reach

Not integrated into a platform yet? The platform sends transactions to Paystaq, which proxies them to your PSP — giving you iGaming merchants without a native connector.

CASE 2
Acquirer access

No direct acquirer integrations? Integrate Paystaq's single API, add your acquirer credentials in the dashboard, and Paystaq routes transactions to the right provider.

HOW IT WORKS

One product. Two problems solved.

Most PSPs face one or both of these connectivity gaps. Payment Bridge handles either scenario through the same dashboard and configuration model.

Case 1

You're not yet integrated into the platform

The problem

iGaming platforms like DevCode (PIQ), Corefy, Praxis, PayNetEasy, SoftGamings, FinteqHub, and others maintain their own PSP integration lists. If you're not on that list, merchants on those platforms can't route transactions to you — no matter how competitive your processing is.

How Bridge solves it

Payment Bridge acts as a ready-made connector between your PSP and the platform. The platform sends transactions to Paystaq in its native format. Paystaq translates the request and proxies it to your PSP endpoint. Your PSP processes and responds, and Paystaq delivers the result back to the platform. You configure your PSP as a provider in the Paystaq routing dashboard — no custom integration required on either side.

Reach 90% of iGaming merchants via pre-built platform connectors — without writing a single custom integration.
Case 2

You have merchants but no acquirer integrations

The problem

Building direct integrations with acquirers is expensive and slow — each one has a different API, certification process, and ongoing maintenance overhead. Most PSPs start with one acquirer and get stuck there, with no routing flexibility or failover capability.

How Bridge solves it

Integrate Paystaq's single REST API once. In the PSP manager dashboard, your team adds acquirer credentials and configures routing rules — by BIN, currency, geography, or custom logic. When your PSP sends a transaction to Paystaq, the Bridge applies those rules, routes to the correct acquirer, and returns the result. Add new acquirers any time from the dashboard without touching your integration.

Connect to 200+ acquirers through one integration. Add or swap acquirers from the dashboard — no dev work needed.
CAPABILITIES

Everything that comes with the Bridge — in both cases

Every transaction through Payment Bridge benefits from Paystaq's full three-level optimisation stack.

UPQS data enrichment
Every transaction through the Bridge is validated and enriched before reaching the acquirer — correcting malformed data that causes avoidable soft declines.
Sentinel ML risk scoring
Real-time AI risk assessment on all bridged traffic. Distinguishes genuine players from fraudulent actors without triggering false-positive declines on high-value transactions.
Smart routing + automatic failover
For Case 2, routing rules run on every transaction. If an acquirer degrades, traffic is rerouted instantly — no manual intervention, no downtime.
PSP manager dashboard
Configure platform connectors, MID credentials, routing rules, and caps from one interface. Your ops team can manage everything without opening a ticket to engineering.
REST API + HMAC webhooks
Clean, well-documented REST API with idempotency support and HMAC-signed webhooks delivered to your endpoint. Full sandbox with simulated platforms and acquirers.
PCI DSS Level 1
All transaction data handled under PCI DSS Level 1 certification. Your PSP inherits compliance coverage for everything in transit through the Bridge.
REST API

A single API endpoint. Works for both cases.

For Case 2, your PSP sends transactions to Paystaq's endpoint. The response includes the routing decision, Sentinel ML risk score, and UPQS enrichment details — all in one call.

For Case 1, Paystaq handles inbound format translation from each platform and delivers normalised webhooks to your PSP endpoint. You receive a consistent format regardless of which platform sent the original transaction.
