Pinch Payments
Pinch Payments is an Australian, Brisbane-based payment orchestration and payment-facilitator platform that automates invoice collection and receivables for service businesses, bookkeepers, and software platforms across Australia and New Zealand. Marketing itself as "Aussie-Made Payments Infrastructure," Pinch lets merchants accept direct debit (bank account) and card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), build payment plans and subscriptions, tokenise payment sources client-side with its CaptureJS library, and reconcile settlements back into Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB. Its Glassbox / Managed Merchants offering is a Payfac-as-a-Service seam with KYC, compliance, and sub-merchant onboarding for platforms acting as aggregators or marketplaces. Pinch is genuinely API-first: it ships a fully documented REST API (JSON, OAuth2 client-credentials auth), a ReadMe-hosted developer portal with a live API explorer, per-product OpenAPI 3.1 definitions, a published Postman collection, an official .NET SDK, Zapier/n8n/viaSocket no-code connectors, webhooks for real-time events, and an llms.txt + docs MCP server for AI-assisted integration.
Pinch Payments publishes 17 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Connect API, Contacts API, Events API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Payments, Australia, Payment Gateway, Payment Processing, and Direct Debit.
The Pinch Payments catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Pinch Payments’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, engineering blog, signup flow, and 31 more developer resources.
