# Global API
Welcome to the **Getnet Global API**, also known as the **Single Entry Point (SEP)**. This is our unified REST API for both online (Ecommerce) and in-person (Card Present) payment integrations. By using a single integration, you gain complete control over your payment flows, user experience, and hardware interactions across the globe.
## Unified Omnichannel Integration
The Global API enables merchants to access Getnet’s ecosystem across multiple countries through a single technical interface. Whether you are processing a credit card on a website or a physical "Smart POS" terminal in a retail store, the Global API centralizes your operations.
This API is designed for PCI-compliant businesses that require a fully customized, omnichannel solution. Integrate once to operate seamlessly across all supported markets in Latin America and Europe.
## Core Capabilities

* **Tokenization**: Securely store card data for recurring billing.
* **Advanced Security**: Implement 3D Secure (3DS) and integrated anti-fraud systems.

## Architecture: The Single Entry Point (SEP)
The Global API acts as a unified gateway connecting your application to three core pillars:
1. **Ecommerce Solutions**: Direct API, Hosted Checkout, and Payment Links.
2. **Card Present Solutions**: Integrated physical terminals and Smart POS systems.
3. **Alternative Payment Methods (APMs)**: Local schemes like PIX (Brazil), Bizum (Spain), and digital wallets.
### Currently Supported Markets

## Solution Pathways
The Global API is divided into two primary integration paths based on your business model:
### Ecommerce (Online Payments)
Process digital transactions with full control over the checkout flow:
* **Single-Step Payments**: Authorize and capture in one call for immediate fulfillment.
* **Pre-authorized Payments**: Reserve funds and capture them later (ideal for hospitality or delayed shipping).
* **3DS Authentication**: Comply with SCA requirements using our 3D Secure guide.
### Card Present (In-Person Payments)
Integrate physical payment hardware directly into your software ecosystem:
* **Terminal Integration**: Create single-step or pre-authorized payments on physical devices.
