Signifyd Integration Guide
Connect Signifyd's REST API and selected webhook notifications to ecommerce, order, payment, finance, and support workflows.
Signifyd integration options at a glance
Signifyd's primary integration mechanism is its REST API, which accepts ecommerce order, customer, payment, shipping, product, and transaction information for assessment and returns decisions and related order state. Signifyd also supports webhook-style or callback notifications for selected order and case lifecycle events, although coverage is not universal across all objects and transitions. Martini can authenticate with a Signifyd API key stored in secure configuration, transform commerce data into Signifyd request models, expose an API for inbound notifications, and route results to operational systems. Scheduled workflows can reconcile decisions, guarantees, and cases where supported endpoints provide filtering, timestamps, pagination, or status retrieval.
Common Signifyd integration patterns
Common Signifyd data objects used in integrations
Authentication and security considerations
API-key authentication
Signifyd API requests use an API key associated with the merchant account and its credential permissions. Confirm the current header spelling and account requirements before implementation.
Credential protection
Store the Signifyd API key in Martini secrets or secure environment-specific configuration. Do not embed credentials in workflow logic or source-controlled mappings.
Data minimization
Order submissions may contain personal, address, payment, device, and transaction information. Send only the fields required by the applicable Signifyd product and merchant process.
Inbound notification security
For callbacks, confirm whether Signifyd supports a signature, shared secret, IP restriction, or another verification method. Protect the Martini endpoint and do not trust unverified order or case identifiers.
Operational considerations for Signifyd integrations
Rate limits and throughput
Confirm account-specific limits and throttling behavior. Use controlled concurrency, avoid duplicate assessments, and retry transient failures with backoff.
Pagination and checkpoints
For collection endpoints, follow the documented pagination model and store a checkpoint such as the last successful timestamp or identifier. Allow for late-arriving updates and clock skew.
Idempotency
Use merchant order identifiers, Signifyd identifiers, and event identifiers where available. Callback processing should tolerate duplicate delivery without creating repeated downstream cases or updates.
State management
Decision, Guarantee, Case, payment, and fulfillment states may change independently. Model them separately and define explicit handling for approved, declined, pending, review, canceled, refunded, and post-transaction conditions.
Testing and schema changes
Confirm the current API version and product-specific schemas, test representative order and callback payloads, and version mappings so optional fields and response changes can be managed safely.
Logging and replay
Persist safe correlation identifiers and failure context for controlled replay, but avoid logging full payment or personal-data payloads. Separate permanent validation or authorization errors from transient failures.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestrate more than an API call
Martini coordinates inbound orders, Signifyd REST requests, callback handling, reconciliation, downstream updates, and exception workflows in a maintainable integration flow.
Centralize mapping and rules
Reusable mappings and business rules keep commerce, fraud, guarantee, payment, and fulfillment states distinct while allowing each target system to receive the model it needs.
Improve operational resilience
Workflows can implement checkpoints, idempotency, controlled retries, validation, replay handling, and monitoring rather than leaving reliability logic scattered across scripts.
Expose reusable APIs
Martini can expose controlled APIs that abstract Signifyd operations from commerce and operational applications, reducing point-to-point coupling while preserving the ability to customize request and response handling.
Support enterprise change
Environment-specific secrets, versioned mappings, workflow-based orchestration, and reusable integration assets make changes to Signifyd schemas or surrounding applications easier to test and deploy.
