Payanywhere API
A real payments surface exists: Android and iOS SDKs, a Semi-Integrated Cloud API with JWT auth, an Invoicing API, and webhooks, documented at developer.north.com. Both sandbox and production credentials are channel-gated behind a Payments Hub merchant account and North partner onboarding.
Frequently asked questions
Payanywhere scores D+ on Supergood's API Report Card. A real payments surface exists: Android and iOS SDKs, a Semi-Integrated Cloud API with JWT auth, an Invoicing API, and webhooks, documented at developer.north.com. Both sandbox and production credentials are channel-gated behind a Payments Hub merchant account and North partner onboarding.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Payanywhere is North's (formerly North American Bancard, rebranded August 2024) mobile and small-business payment-acceptance product line.
General-purpose mobile and counter-top card acceptance for very small US businesses. A small-business owner signs up online at payanywhere.com (or through a North ISO/agent), is shipped a free 3-in-1 Bluetooth reader (or activates Tap to Pay on iPhone), and pairs it to the Payanywhere mobile app.
Moderate. The Payanywhere brand has been around since 2011 and was distributed in Apple Stores at launch, which gave it brand recognition in the early mobile-payments wave, but it has never matched Square's mindshare.
Parent: North (formerly North American Bancard Holdings, LLC), privately held; HQ Troy, MI; rebranded August 2024; CEO Marc Gardner (founder, 1992).
Payanywhere was launched by North American Bancard in 2011, with the Payanywhere Bluetooth 3-in-1 reader subsequently distributed through Apple Stores.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Yes, via a managed API layer. Supergood builds REST APIs and MCP servers for authenticated enterprise web apps, so AI agents and internal tools can read and write data programmatically. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Payanywhere MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Payanywhere doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
