Payanywhere API

Frequently asked questions
Payanywhere scores D+ on the 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.
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.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Payanywhere API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Payanywhere data. See the Payanywhere integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/payanywhere-api.
