Documentation

Integrate in an afternoon.

Four SDKs, one REST API and webhooks for every event. The sample below creates a payment with the JavaScript SDK.

01 — Sample

Create a payment.

payments.createJavaScript
import { Varden } from "@varden/js";const client = new Varden({ apiKey: "sk_test_4f8a…" });const payment = await client.payments.create({  amount: 4900,            // minor units: €49.00  currency: "EUR",  customer: { email: "[email protected]", country: "DE" },  capture: "automatic",});console.log(payment.id, payment.status); // "pay_…" "authorized"

Amounts are expressed in minor units. Test keys start with sk_test_; nothing created with them is settled.
