Welcome to EdfaPay

Guides › Getting Started

EdfaPay is a unified payment platform built for businesses that need to accept and manage payments — online, in-store, or via payment links — on a single, reliable infrastructure.

This documentation covers everything from your first integration to going live at scale.

What EdfaPay Offers

EdfaPay is built around three core solutions. Choose the one that fits your business model, or combine them.

Solution	Best For	Integration
Payment Gateway	Online payments via web or mobile	Hosted Checkout or S2S API
SoftPOS	In-store contactless payments on Android	Mobile SDK
Payment Links	Invoice-based or remote payments	Dashboard or API

All three run on the same PCI-DSS certified infrastructure and are managed from a single dashboard.
