Integration
The key priority is Time-to-Market speed. We offer five levels of integration, allowing you to start accepting payments within 15 minutes to several weeks. The choice of the optimal method depends on the complexity of your business logic and the need for customization. For most standard online stores, ready-made modules are sufficient, minimizing development costs.

Payment Links
Application: Ideal for quickly selling single goods/services, accepting payment in chats, messengers, email newsletters, or social networks without using an API.
Method Essence: Creation of an order template (with goods/services, cost) in the Personal Account, after which a permanent payment link is generated. When following the link, the buyer only needs to specify their email and choose a convenient payment method.
Business Benefits:
- Instant sales launch: Does not require module installation or programming.
- Flexible automation (Web-hook): The seller receives a payment notification via email. For automated processing, Paysto can send a web-hook to the seller's resource (IP address), containing the buyer's email, amount, and template ID. This allows for configuring any scenario: from transferring a digital good, topping up a billing balance, to activating IoT services.
Timeline and Cost:
- Cost: Zero (internal platform functionality).
- Timeline: Instant (time taken to create the template in the PA).
Ready-made CMS Modules
Application: Used if your commercial website is built on a popular content management system (CMS) — WordPress, OpenCart, Prestashop, Drupal, and others.
Business Benefits: This is the fastest and least expensive connection method. The modules already contain all the necessary functions: order data transfer, status processing. For correct fiscalization (54-FZ compliance), the module automatically transfers all necessary order data. The main advantage is zero or minimal development costs on the client's side, as the integration occurs via a plugin.
Timeline and Cost:
- Cost: Zero or minimal (cost of installing the plugin by an in-house specialist).
- Timeline: Launching payment acceptance takes from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Showroom
Application: A Showroom (Storefront) is a ready-made solution for accepting orders and payments, provided to every user. The key advantage is obtaining a trading space in the local market, where the infrastructure storefront is hosted on a national domain, which protects the main business from political (sanction) risks.
Business Benefits: Allows for instant sales launch without web development and CMS costs. Ideal for:
- Quick Start: Instant sales launch, as well as for market testing and social commerce (placing orders from messengers).
- Specific Tasks: Selling B2B services, tickets, courses, and other non-product items where a full-fledged online store is impractical.
Timeline and Cost:
- Cost: Zero (internal platform functionality).
- Timeline: Instant after registration.
Code Examples and SDK
Application: This approach is used for integration with non-standard or custom-built systems, where more flexibility is required than a standard CMS module offers, while minimizing complexity.
Business Benefits: Ready-made Software Development Kits (SDKs) and code examples (available, for instance, on GitHub) provide a quick start for developers. This reduces the risk of errors and shortens the development cycle. The code can be adapted to specific requirements without the need to write interaction logic from scratch, which optimizes the IT department's working hours.
Timeline and Cost:
- Timeline: Integration takes from 1–2 days to 1 week.
- Cost: Medium (depends on the volume of adaptation, but lower than working with a pure API).
API
Application: Necessary for large, high-load projects, marketplaces, or systems requiring maximum customization of payment logic, refunds, fiscalization, and status processing. Used for integration into ERP or CRM systems.
Business Benefits: The API (Application Programming Interface) provides full control over the payment process, allowing it to be deeply integrated into your own business logic. This is the best choice for ensuring scalability, security, and a unique user experience. Comprehensive documentation ensures transparency and predictability of the integration.
Timeline and Cost:
- Timeline: Integration takes from 2 weeks to 1 month.
- Cost: Highest (requires highly qualified developers and significant person-hours for testing and support).
