API Integration Experience with a Small-Scale E-Commerce Health Platform

[JohnWilliam45]

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently worked on a project involving payment gateway integration for a small-scale health e-commerce site. The biggest challenge was ensuring secure transaction flows and testing edge cases like declined payments and timeouts.

We implemented a basic flow using Cybersource REST APIs, and it worked smoothly after some JSON formatting adjustments. The platform primarily sells health-related products and medicines online, similar to this site as a use case reference (not affiliated, just used for UI inspiration).

If anyone else has dealt with small health-related e-commerce setups, would love to hear your insights on fraud prevention and recurring billing best practices.

Thanks!

Totally agree, would love to swap notes on handling fraud and secure recurring payments in niche e commerce.

Nice job with the integration! For fraud prevention, try 3D Secure and CVV checks. For recurring billing, use tokenization and set retry logic for failed payments.
