NMI Launches Developer-First Environment to Simplify Embedding Payments for SaaS Platforms

SAN FRANCISCO & SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TECHCRUNCH DISRUPT – NMI®, a global leader in embedded payments infrastructure, announces the launch of its developer-first experience — a modern, self-service integration environment that helps SaaS builders and software platforms embed payments easily and deliver products to market faster.

The new developer environment introduces a simpler way to integrate payments, combining intuitive onboarding, dynamic sandbox testing and frictionless partner sign-up. Designed for both developers and business teams, it allows users to build, test and launch payments quickly, without the traditional complexity or compliance hurdles.

Luis Peña, Product Director of Developer Experience at NMI said:
“NMI’s developer-first approach is about putting control directly into the hands of developers and product teams. We’ve made it easy for platforms to start integrating payments right away with all the tools they need to build and scale efficiently — without waiting on sales cycles or implementation specialists. We’ve given developers everything they need to go from their first line of code to a working payment prototype in a matter of moments, not weeks.”

Corey Ayres, Chief Architect at Order Sharp said:
"Integrating payments used to mean long onboarding timelines, complex APIs and uncertainty around compliance and security. With NMI’s new developer experience all of those challenges disappeared. Our developers were able to spin up a sandbox instantly, follow clear documentation tailored to our use case and drop in secure payment components without having to wade through weeks of back-and-forth. From a technical perspective, it was faster and cleaner than anything we’ve worked with before. From a business perspective, it gave us confidence that we could bring payments to market quickly, securely and in a way that will scale with our customers."

Key features of NMI’s developer-first experience include:

• Guided onboarding flows: Intuitive step-by-step integration paths remove the guesswork.
• Dynamic sandbox environment: Create a free account and start testing APIs, simulate transactions and validate integrations in a live, secure space. It also works with modern AI developer tools, making it easier to explore, build and debug using the workflows you already trust.
• Prebuilt API recipes: Copy-paste ready code snippets shorten development time.
• Flexible integration options. From no-code and low-code tools to full API control, the platform supports every skill level and tech stack, whether it’s a junior developer or an advanced architect.

Business and operations leaders gain tools to evaluate platform fit, streamline compliance and visualize revenue impact without draining development resources:

• Self-service monetization: Launch and start earning from payments without long contract cycles.
• Instant revenue insights: Built-in calculators show potential earnings from embedded payments.
• Simplified risk and compliance: Built-in workflows reduce legal and underwriting effort.

This new environment connects the needs of both developers and business leaders. It’s built for SaaS platforms that want the flexibility to integrate payments quickly today and the scalability to grow across payment types, channels or features in the future.

Peña added:
“Whether you’re embedding payments for the first time or expanding into new markets, our platform grows with you. We’ve built this so you can integrate payments once and adapt as you evolve, without being locked into a single model.”
