Kinetic Flow Features

Payment APIs designed for production fintech — not marketing decks. Every feature has a concrete API, a real response, and a test case.

Idempotent Payment API

Every POST to /payments includes an idempotency key. Duplicate submissions within a 24-hour window return the original response without re-processing.

// Idempotent Payment API
POST /v1/payments
Idempotency-Key: {{idempotency_key}}
{"amount": 1000, "currency": "USD", "rail": "fednow"}

Real-Time Webhooks

Push events to your endpoint as they happen. Guaranteed ordering, automatic retry with exponential backoff, and signature verification.

// Real-Time Webhooks
POST /v1/webhooks
{"event": "payment.completed", "payment_id": "pay_xxx", "rail": "fednow", "timestamp": "..."}

Rail-Aware Routing

Specify the rail explicitly or let the system choose based on amount, urgency, and recipient bank capabilities. FedNow, RTP, ACH, SWIFT supported.

// Rail-Aware Routing
// Route by speed preference
{"rail": "fednow"}  // sub-second
{"rail": "rtp"}     // seconds  
{"rail": "ach"}     // next business day

Multi-Currency with FX

Hold balances in arbitrary currency pairs. Real-time FX conversion at mid-market rates. Settlement in local currency or USD.

// Multi-Currency with FX
// Convert USD to MXN
POST /v1/conversions
{"from": "USD", "to": "MXN", "amount": 1000}
// Returns: {"fx_rate": 17.12, "amount_mxn": 17120, "fee": 0.50}

Sandbox with Edge Cases

Full production parity in sandbox. Simulate slow responses, rejected payments, and webhook failures to test your error handling paths.

// Sandbox with Edge Cases
# Simulate a FedNow failure
POST /v1/test/simulate
{"rail": "fednow", "scenario": "insufficient_funds"}
