Boring where it counts.

Payments are the wrong place to be inventive. The API follows REST conventions your team already knows, and is strict about the things that cause money to move twice.

Idempotent by default: Every mutating call takes an Idempotency-Key. Retries are safe.
Resource-oriented URLs: Predictable paths, standard verbs, cursor pagination throughout.
Signed webhooks: HMAC-SHA256 with a replay window. Verify before you trust.
ISO 4217 currencies: TZS, KES, UGX, USD, EUR, GBP. No custom currency codes.
Machine-readable errors: Stable error codes, not prose your parser has to guess at.
Honest rate limits: 429 with Retry-After. Documented ceilings, no silent throttling.

Everything you need is already shipped.
