Flywire is a global payments enablement and software company that operates a proprietary cross-border payment network spanning more than 140 currencies and 240 countries and territories, serving the education, healthcare, travel, and business-to-business verticals. The Flywire Payments API is an HTTP-based REST API (JSON request/response bodies, API-Key authorization) that lets platforms integrate Flywire's payment network directly — creating and capturing one-off, recurring, pre-authorization, refund, and 529 payments, managing payors, recipients, checkout sessions and documents, and receiving real-time payment status callbacks (webhooks) signed with an HMAC-SHA256 shared secret. Flywire also ships client-side JavaScript and React libraries (Flywire Elements, Checkout, Pay-By-Link) for embedding hosted payment experiences.
