Global Payments
NOMINEE OVERVIEW
The mission of our developer portal is to empower developers, partners, and merchants worldwide to quickly discover, integrate, and innovate with the full spectrum of Global Payments’ payment capabilities. By unifying complex products, services, and brand identities into one accessible, intuitive platform, we lower barriers to entry and help our ecosystem launch new solutions with speed and confidence.
Our commitment is to provide a self-serve, always-on portal that not only delivers technical documentation, but enables true collaboration and transformation—serving as both the foundation and the front door for our present and future developer community.
NOMINATION RATIONALE
1) BEST SOLUTION PORTAL
The Best Solution Portal category speaks directly to what we care most about—delivering value through a use-case–focused experience rather than just technical documentation.
We’ve intentionally structured our portal to reflect real-world payment challenges, with content organized by level of technical expertise, and business need. Whether someone prefers no-code tools, wants to explore low-code SDKs, or is looking to build custom solutions via APIs, we present clear, intuitive routes that support each type of integration journey.
2) BEST UNIFIED ENTERPRISE DEVELOPER PORTAL
The Best Unified Experience Developer Portal category celebrates portals that seamlessly organize large and complex sets of integration options—from diverse APIs to SDKs and documentation formats—into a “one-stop” experience where every touchpoint feels deliberately harmonized. This is the heart of our approach: we federate a wide-ranging portfolio of payment solutions, APIs, SDKs, and protocols (not just REST, but also XML and more) into a unified platform designed for both speed and confidence.
Our portal is conceptualized from the ground up to: Bring together multiple integration formats (REST, XML, Plugins, and SDKs) in a single, recognizable framework for all users.
3) BEST ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE IN A DEVELOPER PORTAL
We understand that a developer’s first impression—what they see, what actions they can take, and how much confidence they feel—is absolutely foundational to their overall experience and likelihood of using our solutions for the long term.
Our portal’s onboarding is designed to:
- Attract and convert new users with clarity and compelling calls-to-action.
- Provide step-by-step guidance and actionable resources from the very first click.
- Guide users from signing up to their first working integration, minimizing time-to-value and maximizing “aha” moments.
