Introduction

Welcome to PT API. It is Prepaid Technologies' end-to-end platform that makes it simple to create digital banking and branded card experiences. This documentation includes comprehensive information for building financial products and integrating with PT API.

...

The fastest way to get your integration up and running is to use our Quick Start guide, which walks you through the essential integration steps. We've tried to make this documentation user-friendly, but if you have any questions, please head to our Discord Server. <TODO - setup the server>

...

API Protocols

The PT API uses GET and POST requests to communicate and HTTP response codes to indicate status and errors. All requests must include a Content-Type of application/json and the body must be valid JSON. All responses are in standard JSON.

...

GET /cardholders?q=firstName:joe AND age:[20 TO 30]

Parent-Client Hierarchy

To manage the card programs for clients using the Prepaid Technologies platform, a parent client hierarchy is created. There are two business models to support client requirements.

...

  1. Group Level - This represents the complete client business or corporation. The client admin users will have direct access to this hierarchy level. In the PT system, this is identified with parentId.

  2. Client Level - This represents the individual client business units. So a corporation can have multiple business units known as “Client”. In the PT system, this is identified with customerId.

  3. Program Level - This represents financial products like gift cards, rewards, payroll, etc. So a business unit can have multiple enrollments to financial products known as “Program Type”. In the PT system, this is identified with rowed.

...

Business Model 2

It has 2 general levels as explained below:-

...

User - this object represents a person from a business who uses the Prepaid Technologies platform to manage their cards, cardholders, and funds. This endpoint enables you to log in, log out, reset the user’s password on the Prepaid Technologies platform.
