What PaymentHood handles for you
A direct SeerBit integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- Public and secret keys exchanged for a bearer token, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- Signed transaction notification, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction query against the SeerBit API before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when SeerBit is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across SeerBit and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
Use SeerBit on your platform
Install the free PaymentHood plugin for your store, then enable SeerBit in your dashboard.
Connecting SeerBit takes three steps
Open your SeerBit account
Register directly with SeerBit and complete their onboarding. Funds settle from SeerBit into your own bank account — PaymentHood never holds merchant money.
Add the credentials to PaymentHood
Paste your SeerBit API credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They are stored server-side and never exposed to your storefront.
Enable it at checkout
Install the PaymentHood plugin for your platform, paste your PaymentHood API key, and SeerBit appears as a payment option. Test in sandbox, then switch to live.
