Overview
The fena platform consists of 2 main parts - a low-level API for Direct Banking integrations and a customer facing portal with its public APIs. The customer facing portal includes the Fena Business portal along with a portal for Partners. The Business portal is made primarily for merchants who are looking to adopt Open Banking powered solutions and to offer their end-users alternative ways to pay. The partners portal is made for those who have their own business customers and want to offer them Open Banking payments integrations without the need of being certified themselves. Both Business and Partners portals have their own public APIs.
Low-level API
The customer facing part of Fena is based on and built upon Direct Banking integrations API and provides more feature-rich solutions for those who prefer/ are looking for a shorter time to market option and don’t have an elaborate engineering team. Direct Banking integrations API is suitable for more technically skilled teams that are ready to handle lots of nuances on their side, and are looking for maximum customisation possibilities while leaving only raw communication channels with the banks’ APIs to Fena.
Plugins
Also, we offer plugins, built upon our solutions, for the most popular e-commerce platforms. Currently only WooCommerce, Prestashop, Magento and OpenCart plugins are live and we are actively working on development of add-ons for Shopify and Shopware. Due dates of going live of these are counted by days so this docs will be updated once new plugins will be available. So far, plugins are the easiest and fastest way to integrate Open Banking payments without even knowing how to code.
