PayZang isn’t just for one particular kind of payment. Whether you are charging for a service, selling physical goods, accepting donations, or enabling payments for others, PayZang will work for you.
Is PayZang a merchant account, gateway, or something else?
PayZang is a complete solution designed to be simple—you only need to work with us. We accept payment data and deposit funds into your bank account. No need to integrate and interact with multiple vendors to accept payments (a merchant account to receive funds, a gateway to submit payments, maybe even a third service to manage recurring charges). We do it all!
Why is PayZang the best option?
PayZang is the only payments service you need. You won’t need to work with a separate merchant account provider, gateway, subscriptions manager, or any other piece of the legacy payments industry puzzle.

An elegant, powerful API makes integration quick and easy.

We offer complete freedom to create the payment experience you desire. Your website, app, location and your workflow, your brand.

You can charge customers however you choose: one-time purchases, subscriptions, metered billing, and event-based charges are all straightforward with our flexible API.

Competitive, crystal-clear pricing. We charge one rate for each successful transaction. There are no additional charges for failed transactions, American Express cards, international cards, stored cards, or recurring payments.

We shoulder the PCI compliance burden by ensuring you never need to handle sensitive card data.
Can I use PayZang for a portion of my payments?
Of course! We cater to whatever works best for you. We only charge for successful PayZang transactions—there are no setup or monthly fees, no account minimums, and no contract durations. There is nothing to lock you into our services.
What size business does PayZang support?

What are some best practices?
These best practices can help you with the integration and implementation process...to assist with your set up and resolve any problems that may occur.

Central Point of Contact: Assign one person as the central point of contact when communicating with PayZang. This ensures you and your team understand the business relationship with PayZang. It is crucial for someone in your organization to inform PayZang about schedules, changes to messages, and any issues related to the PayZang system.

Good Documentation Equals Easier Maintenance: Document every step you take when working with our developer program. This ensures anyone who maintains your system will understand the process. Good documentation will allow anyone in your business to maintain the system correctly.

We recommend documenting:

Delivery Method: Document why you selected your delivery method, who approves the delivery method, and the date of its approval.
Messages: Document the purpose for each message, alternate drafts, who approves the messages, and the date of approval.
Testing: Document all testing methods used (including scripts), who participated in testing, who approves the tests results, and testing dates.
Certification: Document any message changes you made resulting from certification testing...and be sure to archive copies of staff training materials conducted during this phase. It is also helpful to document who received training and on what dates.
Go-live: Document all problems you may have encountered during the go-live phase. Include data about individuals who may have had problems with specific parts of the system in case of misunderstandings during training.

Documentation will be useful if any future problems occur. You can review your documentation and identify if the problem has occurred before and if your users had received training on that topic. The documentation will help you research and correct the issue and relay your findings to other users.

Ask Questions: One of your greatest tools during both the integration process and the live system is the ability to ask questions. Anytime you don’t understand a topic or task, or if you simply need clarification, please contact PayZang for assistance. We are available to help 24/7!
What happens during integration?
You will complete four stages during the integration phase.
1. Defining your delivery method
2. Defining your messages
3. Testing your system
4. Taking your system live
What will I need to complete integration?
You only need to download our sample code. Remember to document the entire process so you can identify and correct any problems that might occur.
Who do I contact for assistance?
Call or email PayZang anytime you require assistance: 1.800.446.4164 or support@payzang.com. Our dedicated team is here to help!
What is PCI DSS?
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) is a set of requirements to ensure companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information do not violate the security of individuals or entities associated with the card or its information.
PCI DSS Standards are created by the PCI Standards Security Council, a neutral governing body created by major card brands such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Is PayZang certified compliant with PCI DSS?
PayZang holds a certification as fully compliant in all of the 12 major data categories including data storage, network design, intrusion monitoring, security-aware information technology policies, and more. Our overall compliance exceeds most industry standards and is an important part of our commitment to an end-to-end security system.
Does PCI DSS compliance cover communication?
Yes, all of our merchant communications remain protected by way of high-grade 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology. These techniques protect sensitive data as it passes through the internet.
Does PayZang use any additional encryption technologies?
Yes, we use RSA public and private 1024-bit key technology to protect sensitive data as well as a proprietary cryptographic infrastructure for use in our servers. Our system utilizes unlock procedures to ensure no single person can gain access to any of your customers’ sensitive data.
What fees are associated with PayZang's merchant services?
Card processing: Like all merchants, you must pay individual transaction fees. PayZang does not charge setup fees or monthly fees.
ACH processing: PayZang does not impose setup fees or monthly fees for ACH services.
Payment Gateway: As with all our services, you will not be charged any monthly fees or setup fees to use our payment gateway services.
API integration: You will never be charged a fee to participate in our developer program or to integrate with our API.
Does PayZang have any hidden or surprise fees?
Absolutely not. You will always know up-front about any fees associated with any of our services.
Can I find out the exact charge for PayZang's services?
Yes! Our services are custom-tailored to each individual merchant. In most cases, you will learn about necessary fees when your account is set up. Contact a PayZang representative for details.
How does PayZang protect sensitive data and prevent security breaches?
PayZang protects online payments and ensures payment security by keeping sensitive payment data off your network with a fully hosted checkout process that collects data directly from customers and securely processes their payments.
PayZang safeguards all payments by adding an extra layer of security to all transactions through encryption at the point of entry and secure transmission to payment processing.
PayZang protects your data from a data breach by performing complete tokenization of all payment data with added protection from PCI Point-to-Point Encryption.
PayZang provides iSpyFraud to prevent data breach. iSpyFraud is a prevention tool that is rules-based and allows merchants to screen suspicious activity on transactions. We also offer 3D Secure Cart (the industry’s highest-rated tool) which makes eCommerce checkouts personally verified and allows consumers and merchants to rest easy with the knowledge that we will defend them from all unauthorized transactions.
What if security measures fail?
In almost all cases, a failure will not occur. Should the unthinkable happen, our data centers are customized to withstand even the worst failures.
Would a failure negatively impact services?
Our protective measures ensure a security failure would have no serious negative impact on your services.
What can I do to further strengthen security?
You can help by safeguarding your passwords, business information, and customer data. Change passwords often and store them in a secure location. You should also change your secure transaction key on a regular basis for increased security. Please contact PayZang with any questions or concerns you have about security.
