Bringing in-person payments to the Blink Payment ecosystem: Card Present API launches for ISV partners

In-person payments have long been the missing piece of a truly unified commerce experience. While online transactions provide instant visibility and rich data, card-present payments have traditionally lagged.

We’re changing that at Blink Payment.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Card Present API for ISV partners, giving them the ability to integrate terminals directly into their own software and platforms, and deliver real-time visibility for every in-person transaction.

Now, ISVs can offer merchants a seamless omnichannel experience, with online and in-person payments appearing side by side, in both the ISV platform and the Blink Payment platform.

Built for scale

With the Card Present API, our partners can now:

Offer instant visibility for in-person payments

A cloud-based architecture lets ISVs surface transactions the moment they happen, within their own platform and within the Blink Payment platform.  

Skip the heavy lifting

We handle terminal provisioning, acquirer connections, PCI compliance, and ongoing maintenance. ISVs integrate once, and we manage the rest.

Unlock omnichannel insights

With real-time card-present data, platforms can finally deliver the seamless operational view that merchants expect.

Differentiate in a crowded market

Most platforms can only display card-present payments once they settle, leaving merchants waiting days for basic visibility. By offering real-time in-person reporting, ISVs can deliver a modern, truly omnichannel experience that few of their competitors can match, strengthening their value proposition and making their platform harder to replace.

A major step toward true unified commerce

The Card Present API represents a significant evolution for Blink Payment and for ISV partners who want to offer a fully connected, modern payment experience without months of development.
