Payments are just one part of your business. What happens before a customer pays and after the transaction is successful is where the real magic of automation happens.
We are announcing two major features for high-performance organizations: External API Logic and Success Webhooks.
Smart Verification: The "External API" Pricing Engine
Sometimes, a "Fixed Price" isn't enough. You might need to check a customer’s balance on your own server, verify a Student ID, or fetch a custom invoice amount in real-time.
With our new External API Integration, Sika Flows becomes a bridge between your database and your customer’s wallet.
How it works:
- The Gatekeeper: When a customer enters an ID (like an Account Number) on your flow, Sika Flows sends a secure request to your server.
- Real-Time Data: Your server tells Sika Flows exactly how much that customer owes or if they are even eligible to pay.
- Dynamic Experience: The customer sees their own custom data (like their name or current debt) and the exact price fetched from your system.
Perfect for: School management systems, utility bill payments, and subscription top-ups.
Instant Fulfillment: Post-Payment Webhooks
The second your customer’s payment clears, your business needs to move. You shouldn't have to manually check your Sika Flows dashboard to see who paid.
Success Webhooks allow Sika Flows to "talk" to your server the moment a payment is successful.
- Instant Provisioning: Automatically unlock a course, send a digital file, or update a database record without lifting a finger.
- Secure & Branded: Every webhook includes a Signing Secret, ensuring that the data coming to your server is legitimately from Sika Flows.
- Custom Data Mapping: You decide which form fields (Name, Email, Custom IDs) are sent in the JSON payload, so it fits perfectly into your existing tech stack.
"Our Business Plan isn't just about more flows; it's about providing the technical infrastructure that connects your entire organization."
Build Your Own Infrastructure
By combining these features, you can build a fully automated revenue machine:
- Verify the customer via API.
- Collect the payment via Sika Flows.
- Notify your system via Webhook to deliver the service.
