SCORECARD

ExistenceMIXEDAn embedded Payments API with sandbox and OpenAPI reference exists, but only as a white label surface for onboarded partners.
AccessMIXEDA free developer account and sandbox are self-serve, but partner intake runs through a form and onboarding, not instant signup.
CoveragePOORThe surface is embedded bill-pay plus accounting sync via a connector hub; the webhook event catalog is unpublished.
AuthFAILNo public auth documentation; OAuth and SSO specifics are revealed only after partner onboarding.
Docs & DXFAILNo published rate limits, uptime SLA, error-code reference, or webhook catalog; the GitHub org is nearly empty.
StabilityMIXED
Supergood: Melio has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
