As Indian SaaS companies, e-commerce platforms, and service providers increasingly target global markets, the need for robust international payment integration has become paramount. While numerous payment gateways offer cross-border capabilities, the developer experience and the specific API features required to handle these transactions efficiently — especially given India’s unique compliance landscape — vary significantly.

Simply processing a charge isn’t enough. Developers need APIs that elegantly handle multiple currencies, diverse global payment methods, stringent security protocols such as 3D Secure 2.0, and, crucially, provide programmatic access to the data required for Indian regulatory needs like the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC). Manual processes for compliance or reconciliation simply don’t scale.
