This guide covers the general criteria that apply to every Alignet One integration. Each integration type also has its own technical, operational, and security recommendations.
Use this page as your starting point. Then review the specific best practices for your channel: E-commerce, Web Checkout, or Mobile SDK.

Cross-cutting principles

  • Never expose credentials, Client Secrets, API keys, or tokens in the frontend.
  • Run sensitive operations from your backend over HTTPS.
  • Store keys in environment variables or a secure secret manager.
  • Do not confirm a sale solely from the visual response shown by the checkout, SDK, or browser.
  • Validate the final state from your backend using the operation identifiers.
  • Keep the relationship between your internal order and the identifier returned by Alignet One.
  • Complete tests for every payment method enabled for your merchant.
  • Validate approved, declined, pending, expired, and controlled-error scenarios.
  • Contact the integration team when you need to validate simulators or special flows.
  • Log errors, response codes, and relevant payloads for traceability.
  • Retain test evidence to streamline certification.
  • Add alerts for unusual declines, timeouts, or repeated failures.
