Payments Roadmap Done
For Software Platforms
Your platform needs a payment layer that scales with you, not a build project that owns your roadmap. Shuttle gives you everything required to embed payments across any channel, without becoming a PayFac or losing control.
Trusted by leading platforms
Why platforms come to Shuttle
- 1
Enterprise deals start demanding specific PSPs
Supporting them one-by-one breaks the roadmap.
- 2
Embedded payments become unavoidable
Becoming a PayFac introduces risk, compliance, and operational drag.
- 3
Payments start leaking into product conversations
Shuttle exists to remove that pressure, without forcing platforms into trade-offs they'll regret later.
- 4
Every provider works differently
One integration and one data model across all of them, so your product handles payments the same way whichever provider sits behind a given merchant.
- 5
Payments make the platform harder to leave
Merchants who take their money through your product have more reason to stay in it, and a fragmented payment experience is what sends them looking elsewhere.
- 6
The card never touches you or Shuttle
Card details go straight to the gateway. They never reach your platform, and on a call the digits go from the keypad to the gateway without passing the agent. Shuttle keeps no vault of its own: cards are tokenised with the merchant's own gateway and the token stays there. Your PCI scope stays limited, and Shuttle holds PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001.
Doing nothing is also a decision, and it usually shows up as lost or delayed deals.
One Payment Layer, Four Pillars
The Shuttle Solution
Design
White-label checkout and merchant experiences that match your brand. Checkout, onboarding and portal carry your logo, colours and domain.
Deploy
Pre-built components and managed infrastructure mean your team focuses on your product, not payments plumbing.
Develop
RESTful APIs, SDKs, and webhooks designed for platform teams. Extend and customise the payment experience.
Support
Merchant support and compliance expertise. Shuttle carries its own PCI DSS Level 1 certification and tracks the regulatory changes, so your scope stays limited.
The Platform Components
What You Get
Onboarding
An embeddable component that lets merchants browse, select, and connect their preferred payment processors, with OAuth or API key authentication built in.
- 40+ payment processors, connected by OAuth or API key
- Country-filtered processor availability
- Fraud prevention & 3D Secure configuration
<!-- Embed the onboarding widget -->
<div data-shuttle-embed="DEEP_LINK_ID"></div>
<script>
// Or mount programmatically
Shuttle.embed("DEEP_LINK_ID", "#onboarding", {
max_height: 800
});
</script>Checkout
An embeddable payment form rendered as an iFrame inside your product. Supports cards and local payment methods with the merchant's logo, colours and domain.
- Inline or modal display modes
- Cards & local payment methods
- PCI DSS Level 1 compliant
<!-- Embedded checkout with a nonce -->
<div data-shuttle-checkout="CHECKOUT_NONCE"></div>
<script>
// The browser event is a UI cue, not proof of payment.
// Check the origin, then confirm server-side before you fulfil.
window.addEventListener("message", (e) => {
if (e.origin !== "https://app.shuttleglobal.com") return;
if (e.data.type !== "PAYMENT_SUCCESS") return;
// Update the UI now, and verify on your server before fulfilling.
showConfirmation();
fetch("/api/payments/" + e.data.paymentId + "/verify", { method: "POST" });
});
</script>
Express Checkout
Render express payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal directly in your checkout flow. Wallet buttons appear when a connected processor supports network tokens.
- Apple Pay & Google Pay wallet buttons
- PayPal, Affirm & Buy Now Pay Later options (on request)
- Embeddable BNPL promotional messaging from each provider
- Loads in the topmost frame for native wallet access
<!-- Render wallet buttons -->
<div data-shuttle-payment="PAYMENT_CONFIG"
data-shuttle-signature="HMAC_SIG">
</div>
<script>
// Or trigger programmatically
Shuttle.doPayment(paymentConfig, signature);
</script>Merchant Activity View
Give merchants real-time visibility into transactions, refunds and payment activity through an embeddable dashboard component.
- Transaction list with filters & search
- Account & customer management
- Scheduled payment monitoring
- Exportable reporting
<!-- Embed the activity dashboard -->
<div data-shuttle-embed="ACTIVITY_LINK_ID"></div>
<script>
Shuttle.embed("ACTIVITY_LINK_ID", "#dashboard", {
max_height: 900
});
</script>
Merchant Portal
A white-label portal merchants access independently to manage payments, view reports, handle refunds, and configure their settings.
- Multi-level organisation structure
- Payment processor configuration & rules
- Team management with role-based access
- Modular app marketplace architecture

Shuttle's embeddable components can be translated into any language: run your checkout in German, onboarding in Japanese, or express payments in Portuguese.

The Numbers
Why use Shuttle vs build it yourself
Building payment infrastructure is expensive, complex, and slow. Shuttle takes most of that off your team.
Saved in a year by one platform on Shuttle, against building and maintaining the same payment infrastructure itself. One customer, their figure, not an average.
The average annual PCI DSS Level 1 assessment fee for a Tier 1 merchant, before technology, operating and staff costs (Ponemon Institute / Thales, 2010). Shuttle already holds Level 1, so your platform does not build it.
Development time that same platform saved by building on Shuttle rather than integrating payment providers itself.
Start with Checkout. Move to Embed when you roll out.
How platforms start
Start on the merchant product
If you have a small number of merchants and you are happy for the payment pages to carry Shuttle branding rather than your own, start here. Put them on the same product a merchant buys directly, with Links, Voice or both. Each merchant runs its own Merchant Portal, with its own team, checkout branding and gateway credentials, and you pay per live instance, where an instance is one payment channel: three merchants each taking links is three instances.
Roll out with the Embedded Payment Layer
When payments become part of your product, move to Embed: your own checkout, merchant onboarding and experience, white-label, with Voice and Links alongside and no per-instance fees.
