Flexible Connectivity

Proven integrations, adaptable architecture

No two retail or payment environments are exactly the same. Crimson supports established interfaces while remaining flexible enough to connect with new systems when business requirements evolve.

  • Payment processors, gateways and acquiring platforms
  • ERP, accounting and enterprise business systems
  • Third-party retail, ecommerce and customer applications
  • Payment terminals, scanners, printers and retail devices
  • Custom APIs, data exchanges and workflow integrations
Integration Capabilities

A connected retail and payment ecosystem

Crimson can serve as the operational layer between stores, centralized systems, processors and external applications.

Payment Integrations

Connect fully integrated or semi-integrated payment workflows with supported processors, gateways and certified devices.

Customer-Specific Integrations

Extend Crimson with new interfaces developed around documented business, technical and security requirements.

Integration Approach

From requirement to production

Crimson works with customers and technology partners to define the interface, validate the data flow and deliver an integration that fits the operating environment.

Discovery

Review systems, transaction flows, business rules, ownership and expected outcomes.

Design

Define data mappings, APIs, error handling, security controls and operational responsibilities.

Build & Validate

Develop, test and verify the integration against agreed technical and business scenarios.

Deploy & Support

Roll out the connection, monitor performance and support future changes as requirements evolve.

Architecture Options

Designed for different environments

Exchange information immediately between Crimson and connected platforms using authenticated web services or REST APIs.

Import or export files on an agreed schedule when real-time connectivity is not required.

Support resilient store operations and synchronized delivery when continuous connectivity cannot be guaranteed.
