NextAPI partner platform

Partner-facing APIs and contracts for collections, payouts, reconciliation, auth, and developer integration.

01

Built payment intent, checkout, payout, and partner API surfaces for money movement workflows.

02

Shaped NextAPI public contracts, developer guide structure, OpenAPI drift checks, and integration documentation.

03

Implemented auth and capability boundaries across participants, OAuth routes, scopes, protected routes, and route policies.

04

Hardened idempotency, ownership checks, status transitions, and mutation safety around payment and payout flows.

Problem

Partners needed stable API primitives for collections, payouts, and reconciliation while the platform protected the state machines underneath live money movement.

Decisions

The API surface separated intent creation, authentication, authorization, idempotent mutation, provider execution, settlement, and public documentation so integrators could reason about each step.

Outcome

NextAPI became a clearer partner platform surface for payment and payout workflows, with stronger contract checks and safer integration paths.
