💲 Billing fees associated to this feature

Your platform can control your data with Rainforest's Forward API, by allowing you to forward merchant and payment method data to trusted third-parties.

The Forward API enables:

Next-generation data portability: send your data to trusted partners without requesting a token export

Global payment orchestration: route payments to external payment providers in the US and internationally

Expanded fintech revenue: onboard merchants once and unlock universe of trusted fintech partners

Rainforest does not need a direct integration with these trusted third-parties. However, we do need to verify that every third-party is certified to handle the type of data Rainforest will be forwarding, e.g. PCI-DSS for card data.
