Payment Processing That Actually Works With Your Business
We've spent the last eight years figuring out how to make payment systems stop being a headache. Our automation doesn't just move money around — it helps you understand what's happening with every transaction.
Automation That Fits Your Current Setup
Most payment processors want you to rebuild everything from scratch. We don't do that. Our systems connect to what you're already using — whether that's an older accounting platform or something more modern.
Last month, we helped a retail chain in Taipei integrate with their existing POS without replacing a single terminal. Took us about two weeks to get everything running smoothly. The owner told us they'd been putting off automation for three years because everyone else wanted them to start over.
- Connect with existing accounting software without data migration headaches
- Real-time reconciliation that catches discrepancies before they become problems
- Automated reporting that your accountant will actually find useful
- Multi-currency handling for businesses working across borders
- Transaction monitoring that flags unusual patterns without false alarms
What You Get When Systems Talk to Each Other
Integration isn't just about connecting things. It's about making sure the right information reaches the right people at the right time — without anyone having to chase it down.
Smart Routing
Payments get sent through the most efficient channel based on amount, currency, and recipient location. We've reduced processing fees by an average of 18% for clients who handle international transactions.
Automatic Reconciliation
Your accounting records match payment records every single day. No more spending Friday afternoons hunting down missing transactions from Tuesday.
Fraud Detection
Pattern recognition that learns from your transaction history. It knows what's normal for your business and alerts you when something seems off.

How We Actually Build These Systems
I've been working with payment systems since 2013, and the biggest lesson I've learned is that no two businesses process payments the same way. A restaurant chain needs something completely different from an online marketplace, even if they're moving similar amounts of money.
When we start a new integration project, we spend the first week just watching how transactions flow through your current system. Where do they slow down? Where do people have to double-check things manually? Where does information get lost between departments?
One client — an e-commerce company in Taichung — was losing about four hours a day to reconciliation. But the problem wasn't the volume of transactions. It was that their payment gateway, inventory system, and accounting software all used different transaction identifiers. Every payment needed someone to manually match three different numbers.
Common Integration Challenge
If your finance team asks "where's the payment for order #12345?" and nobody can answer without checking three different systems, you need better integration. This happens more often than you'd think.
We built a middleware layer that translates between all three systems in real-time. Now when a payment comes through, all three platforms update automatically with their respective identifiers linked together. That four-hour reconciliation process? Takes about ten minutes now, and most of that is just reviewing the exception report for anything unusual.
The technical part isn't usually the hard part. Most payment APIs are pretty straightforward once you understand their quirks. The challenge is understanding your business well enough to know what needs to be automated and what should stay manual. Some decisions genuinely need human judgment.
