Kinetic Flow

Payment Features, Deep Dive

Every feature you need to build, launch, and scale payment products — from multi-rail routing to PCI-compliant vaulting.

Multi-Rail Payment Processing

Process payments across FedNow, RTP, ACH, SWIFT, and card networks through a single unified API. Smart routing selects the optimal rail based on speed, cost, and availability.

Set routing preferences per payment or let Flow's engine optimize automatically. Fallback rails ensure delivery even during outages.

Webhook Event System

Real-time event delivery for every payment state change. HMAC-SHA256 signed payloads, automatic exponential backoff retries, and a full event log with replay capability.

Filter events by type, replay failed deliveries, and monitor webhook health from your dashboard.

PCI-Compliant Card Vaulting

Securely tokenize and store card data with PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance. Network tokens automatically update when cards are reissued, reducing decline rates.

Account updater keeps stored cards current automatically. Tokens are portable across your payment processors.

Idempotent API Design

Every Flow endpoint is idempotent. Retries are safe, duplicate detection is automatic, and exactly-once semantics are guaranteed at the infrastructure level.

Pass an Idempotency-Key header with any request. Same key, same response — guaranteed.

idempotency
# Request 1 — creates payment
POST /v1/payments
Idempotency-Key: pay_abc123
→ 201 Created
# Request 2 — safe retry
POST /v1/payments
Idempotency-Key: pay_abc123
→ 200 OK (cached)
