Commerce is the fast lane into Hellgate CPA.

Commerce is the opinionated payment service for fast-moving teams. Designed for those who want best-practice orchestration patterns out of the box. Commerce handles routing, retries, and provider abstraction with no infrastructure overhead based on the powerful Hellgate CPA infrastructure.

No Acquirer or PSP should dictate your roadmap

Teams burn cycles wiring up acquirers, chasing down failed retries, and patching compliance gaps, only to find themselves locked into a single PSP’s rules and roadmap.

The result?

Slower launches, brittle integrations, and a mounting stack of operational overhead that distracts from actually growing the business.

Single Acquirer or PSP lock-in
Complex infrastructure
Scalability bottleneck

Examples and best-practice orchestration patterns out of the box

const { Hellgate } = window;
const client = await Hellgate.init('d5529f03-e84a-4a43-867c-b3412a097e63', {
  base_url: 'https://sandbox.hellgate.io',
});

// get the handler for card payments
const cardHandler = await client.use('CARD');

// create the one-line form
const cardForm = cardHandler.createForm({
  // customize styles
  style: {
    fonts: ['https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Nunito:wght@300;400;500;600;700;800&display=swap'],
    base: {
      fontFamily: 'Nunito, sans-serif',
      color: '#111',
      fontSize: '16px',
      '::placeholder': { color: '#6b7280' },
    },
  },
});
const cardholderField = cardHandler.createTextField();

// and mount it
cardForm.mount('#my-form-element');
cardholderField.mount('#cardholder-element');

// use an existing button to process the data
const submitButton = document.getElementById('my-submit-button');

submitButton.addEventListener('click', async () => {
  try {
    const result = await cardHandler.process({
      // the value from cardholderField will be extracted automatically
      cardholder_name: cardholderField,
    });

    const resultElement = document.getElementById('result');
    const errorElement = document.getElementById('error');

    // handle the result
    if (result.status === 'success' || result.status === 'pending') {
      resultElement.textContent = 'Processing has been successfully completed';
      errorElement.textContent = '';
    } else {
      // processing failed, failure reason could be found in the data attribute
      resultElement.textContent = '';
      errorElement.textContent = result.data.reason;
    }
  } (err) {
    // something went wrong before processing could begin (e.g., a network issue or an internal backend error)
  }
});
