End user journey
The bulk payments experience can be embedded into any application. You build and self-host the user facing screens, giving you full ownership and control over the experience in your application, with the Yapily Bulk Payments API powering the payments behind the scenes.
Note: We recommend you follow our PIS UX guidelines for examples of best practices when building the user facing screens.
Note: Banks use different methods to authenticate and collect consent from users. Yapily supports all user authorisation flows and you may need to implement multiple user authorisation flows depending on which banks you want to integrate with.
