Open Layer Payment Gateway API

Layer is Zwitch's hosted payment gateway. A few lines of layer.js render a fully PCI-compliant checkout pop-up that accepts net banking, UPI, credit/debit cards, and wallets. Server-side APIs create payment tokens, query payment status, issue full and partial refunds (including batch refunds), and download settlement reports. Mobile SDKs are available for Android, iOS, and Flutter.
