What Developer API gives you
Consistent resources
Payments, customers, payouts, subscriptions, disputes, and ledger entries share one object model and pagination.
Signed webhooks
HMAC-signed events with retries, replay, and a dashboard log. Prove every event came from us.
Idempotency everywhere
Every mutating call accepts an idempotency key so retries never double-charge.
Documented end to end
Every endpoint, object, and webhook event is documented with request and response examples.
Test mode
Test keys and test cards so you can build and verify before going live.

How it works

Sign up and grab a key
Test keys are issued instantly. No sales call, no paywall.
- 02
Integrate
Use hosted checkout, embedded components, or the REST API directly.
- 03
Go live
Swap keys. Underwriting is already complete, so the first live charge works.
Built for developers
The HL Hunt API was designed after a decade of lessons from first-generation payment APIs: one object model instead of a dozen product-specific ones, idempotency on every write, and webhooks that are signed, replayable, and visible. The result is an integration you can finish in an afternoon and trust in production.
