CellPoint Digital API
CellPoint Digital is a payment orchestration platform that unifies fragmented payment ecosystems for airlines, travel, hospitality, and e-commerce enterprises through its Velocity Payment Orchestration Platform. An unofficial API lets you programmatically initialize, authorize, capture, and refund transactions; pull eligible payment methods, installment plans, and FX offers; manage Pay By Link and bulk refunds; and route across 220+ PSPs and acquirers and 168+ payment methods—all through a single normalized integration.
What is CellPoint Digital?
CellPoint Digital is a payment orchestration platform that unifies fragmented payment ecosystems for airlines, travel, hospitality, and e-commerce enterprises. Its Velocity Payment Orchestration Platform (POP)—marketed as "One Source Orchestration"—lets merchants integrate every digital channel into a single payment solution with intelligent routing, native settlement splits, and access to 220+ PSPs and acquirers, 168+ payment methods, and 100+ currencies.
Core product areas include:
- Payment Orchestration (Hosted Payment Page, Intelligent Routing, Reporting & Analytics, Payment Ecosystem)
- Embedded Finance (Alternative Payment Methods, FX Optimisation)
- Payment Optimisation (Fraud Management, Payment Reconciliation)
- Velocity API and native mobile SDKs for web and mobile checkout integration
Common data entities:
- Transactions, Sessions, Authorizations, Captures, Refunds, Reversals
- Payment Methods, Cards, Alternative Payment Methods, Digital Wallets
- PSPs, Acquirers, Routing Rules, Settlement Splits
- Orders, Airline Itinerary Data (AID), Installment Plans, FX Offers
- Pay By Link records, Payment Summaries, Reconciliation and Reporting outputs
The CellPoint Digital Integration Challenge
Enterprises route mission-critical payment volume through CellPoint Digital, but turning its orchestration platform into clean, API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Credential gating: Velocity API access requires HTTPS credentials, a ClientID, an Account, and an HMAC salt obtained through a CellPoint sales representative before any call can be made
- HMAC request signing: Each call must be HMAC-signed, so naive integrations break on signature, ordering, or salt-rotation errors
- Multi-step payment lifecycle: initialize-payment, authorize, capture, and refund are separate operations with their own state and 3DS challenge flows to track
- Airline and travel specifics: Ticket-level captures, Airline Itinerary Data, and partial captures add domain complexity generic payment integrations don't handle
- PSP and routing variability: Coverage of 220+ PSPs, intelligent routing rules, and settlement splits differs by merchant configuration and storefront Account
- PCI DSS scope: Card data handling brings PCI DSS obligations that complicate headless and server-to-server automation
How Supergood Creates CellPoint Digital APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated Velocity API flows and merchant dashboard interactions to deliver a resilient API layer for your CellPoint Digital account—across initialization, authorization, capture, refund, and reporting.
- Handles HTTPS credentials, ClientID/Account scoping, and HMAC request signing securely in a managed session
- Maintains session continuity across the initialize, authorize, capture, and refund lifecycle with automated retry and change detection
- Normalizes responses across transactions, payment methods, PSPs, and FX offers so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Aligns with merchant-specific routing rules, storefront Accounts, and entitlements to ensure compliant access

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Supergood normalizes initialize-payment, authorize, capture, refund, reversal, and bulk-refund operations across the Velocity API so you can run the entire transaction lifecycle through one consistent surface.
Velocity API access requires HTTPS credentials, a ClientID, an Account, and an HMAC salt obtained from CellPoint Digital. Supergood works with your existing credentials and authenticated sessions rather than provisioning new ones.
Yes. Ticket-level captures, Airline Itinerary Data, partial captures, installment plans, and FX offers are exposed through the same normalized API surface, alongside standard card and APM payments.
Supergood manages HMAC generation, salt rotation, and request signing internally, so you call a clean normalized endpoint without reconstructing CellPoint's signature scheme on every request.
Card data is handled under PCI DSS-aligned controls with an encrypted credential vault, scoped tokens, and masked payment summaries, keeping sensitive data out of your downstream systems.
