Paymentsense
Paymentsense is a United Kingdom payment processing company that provides card payment acceptance to small and medium-sized businesses through card machines (PDQ terminals), online payment gateways, and EPOS integrations. Now part of Dojo, its developer-facing surface centers on the Connect platform, a cloud-hosted integration layer that gives each merchant an isolated host so point-of-sale and hospitality software can drive card terminals without touching card data. Paymentsense publishes a genuine public developer portal at docs.connect.paymentsense.cloud with interactive Swagger reference docs and downloadable OpenAPI/Swagger specifications for the Connect REST API (Pay-At-Counter and Pay-At-Table terminal integration, versions v0/v1/v2) and the Connect-E REST API for online/e-commerce card payments, plus a documented WebSockets interface. Authentication is HTTP Basic using a per-merchant API key supplied by Paymentsense. A separate merchant/software-house management portal at developers.paymentsense.com sits behind Google sign-in.
Paymentsense publishes 18 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Access Token API, Cross Reference Payment API, Hospitality Reports API, and 15 more. Tagged areas include Payments, United Kingdom, Payment Gateway, Payment Processing, and Card Payments.
The Paymentsense catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Paymentsense’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, changelog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, and 29 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UK G-Cloud Suppliers (UK public-sector cloud procurement) | regulated | 18.3 (thin) | - | - |
| EU/EEA Payment and E-Money Institutions (PSD2 passports) | regulated | 18.3 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
