API Rate Limits​

The payment gateway presently does not enforce request limitations. However, this policy may be revised in the future.

Integrations that use QiCard’s API for creating payments and refunds must follow these guidelines. We reserve the right to modify or deprecate the APIs over time, but we will provide developers with ample notification. These notifications will be sent to the email address specified in your API settings.
