Access Worldpay's Checkout SDK is a secure, PCI compliant and customizable way to capture card data on websites or apps. This article explains how it works.

Machine learning detects fraud more efficiently than ever – and that has everything to do with the data it learns from.

Extracting more value from data, tools and knowledge has made Access Worldpay's teams faster, better and more autonomous.

We’re celebrating the launch of our API docs in Chinese and Japanese – and welcoming our new customers.

A Visa mandate coming into effect 30 September 2021. Merchants must now capture certain customer data for OCT transactions in specific geographical regions.

To become faster and better, Access Worldpay has created a Lean SDLC that automates metrics and shares tools and knowledge.

Collecting customer data more effectively is yielding insights that help Access Worldpay deliver a faster, more responsive service.

A short article explaining the principles we observe when designing and developing Access Worldpay's suite of APIs.

In Agile organizations, urgent deadlines often override innovation. By protecting creativity, Access Worldpay builds cultural capital, becomes more sustainable and improves its products and processes.

What will be the biggest software development trends in 2021? Take the survey now.

Circuit breakers provide a complementary protection to timeouts. But whereas timeouts exist primarily to protect a client, circuit breakers primarily protect the service.

As online payments become a new normal, enabling people with disabilities to use them is even more important. Fresh updates make two products far more accessible.

This is the second in a series of articles explaining card payments, systems and products. Here, we give and overview of the two transaction types, concentrating on the difference between card on file and recurring.

Four women at Access Worldpay describe how they got here, their experiences working as engineers, and advice they’d give young women today.

Our colleagues talk about their experience, the bias and stereotypes in tech and how, as the world becomes ever more interconnected, diversity and inclusion are key to progress.

The key to success in an Agile environment is to get involved – in every way you can and as early in the process as possible. Here Tom talks about what this means for tech writers.

Our new Worldpay for Developers site is now live, with a range of tools and features to help developers find critical information quickly and explore our product capabilities. The site is the latest stage in our work to streamline our user experience and is designed to let different development teams add their own content independently, so that customers receive it faster than ever.

This is the first in a series of articles explaining card payments, systems and products. Here, we explain who does what, in a typical payments process, the main payments actions and events (and the difference between the two), and Worldpay’s approach.

Our experience suggests that giving our customers a truly satisfying user experience depends on two things; a real understanding of their needs and priorities, and an ability to speak their language.

In software development, timeouts are a necessary evil – a choice to inflict minor pain on client code in order to avoid something worse. Although simple to apply, their impact on service quality means that they require careful thought.

Stereotypes can be persistent and pervasive. They can also be wrong. Take security vs. innovation. Sterotypically, security avoids risk while innovation embraces it, so surely the two are mutually exclusive, right? Wrong, says Mustafa Kasmani, a Senior Security Specialist.

Asked to build a set of cutting-edge payments services, the Access Worldpay leadership team had a blank slate when deciding how their new organization could and should operate.

In a year of unknowns, some things are now clear. For example, that recent events are so clearly unprecedented that the very word’s become clichéd; that their impact on our lives is enormous; and that it’s demanded huge adjustments to our expectations and behaviour.

You’re tasked with building a brand new suite of networked APIs that let merchants easily tailor payments products to their needs.

When something goes wrong, it’s important to find out why – and how to avoid similar incidents in the future. This is the premise behind Post-Incident Reviews (PIRs).

Just sometimes, something goes wrong. In IT operations, we call this an ‘incident’. After high-impact incidents, it’s industry best practice to hold Post-Incident Reviews (PIRs).

It all happened so fast. Although reports of the coronavirus had grown more persistent and alarming, instructions to lock down and stay home still involved major, sudden upheaval.

PI Planning plays a crucial role at Access Worldpay. Involving more than 100 people meeting offsite every quarter, it’s essential to the team’s ability to plan, structure and schedule its work and keep its customers informed.

Principles matter. For any group, of any size, principles bring clarity, they provide a sense of purpose and they offer direction when the road ahead is difficult or complex.

Workplace distractions are an indigestible all-you-can-eat buffet. It starts with the sugary snacks, like Twitter, Instagram, Amazon or eBay.

Faced with a pile of LEGO, any child knows that building something from scratch involves lots of decisions – about who can help, what to build, and whether it can be adapted later on.

To experience the breathless pace of software development today, just think about the constant cycle of app updates on your phone.

Global companies rarely get to write software from scratch, reappraising existing code, methods and assumptions before deciding whether or not to apply them.

Access Worldpay is our new set of APIs that is fast, supports simple integrations with fault-tolerant, micro, and scalable services.

It’s almost a parallel universe. Although part of a global organization with vast reach and huge responsibilities, Access Worldpay remains a small, autonomous unit with the freedom to choose its own working principles and methods.

If you want real speed, it pays to be smooth. Put another way, to give your customers the truly responsive and reliable service they expect, not only must your core principles and working practices work in harmony, but also your key assets – your people.
