The platform

Everything you need to move money — in one place.

From the first checkout to the thousandth renewal, cc3a handles processing, vaulting, billing, recovery and reconciliation so you don't have to glue five vendors together.

Card processing

Accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay with high approval rates and automatic recovery of soft declines.

Subscription billing

Recurring plans, trials, pauses and cancellations with a billing engine that runs on a monitored cron and never double-charges.

Tokenised card vault

Cards stored as cc3a tokens, PANs encrypted with AES-256-GCM, CVV never persisted. Saved cards work across your whole account.

Hosted checkout & links

Branded, no-code payment pages and shareable links in 16 languages and 20+ currencies — opaque tokens, never JWTs in the URL.

3-D Secure 2 & fraud

Built-in SCA, MIT exemptions, token & BIN blocklists (system / merchant / customer) and decline intelligence.

Refunds & disputes

Full and partial refunds with race-safe balances, plus a complete chargeback lifecycle with evidence and deadlines.

Real-time analytics

MRR, ARR, ARPU, LTV, churn and approval rate — filter by merchant and date, with CSV exports built for your accountant.

Webhooks & event logs

Every event, delivery and retry captured at the transaction level — signed, replayable, and searchable for fearless debugging.

Multi-currency & FX

Charge in local currency and report in EUR with live FX refreshed every five minutes from trusted rate sources.

Invoices & receipts

Professional, per-merchant branded invoices and receipts with business identity and logo — generated on payment, PDF-ready.

How it works

Live in four steps — not four quarters.

01

Open your account

Get your API keys and a branded checkout. cc3a processes your card payments end to end — one contract, one integration.

02

Collect a payment

Use the hosted checkout, a payment link, or the API. Cards are vaulted, 3-D Secure 2 is handled, and the buyer never sees a secret.

03

Bill & recover

Turn a card-on-file into a subscription. Smart dunning retries failed renewals and the account updater refreshes expiring cards.

04

Reconcile & get paid

Watch revenue in real time, receive signed webhooks, export to your ledger, and hand customers branded invoices.

One control room

Every payment, subscription and dispute — on a single dashboard.

Revenue analytics, customers, transactions, subscriptions, disputes, webhooks, blocked tokens and per-merchant fees. Filter by merchant and date, drill into any charge, and export it all.

  • Revenue, MRR, churn & LTV with merchant + date filters
  • Transaction view with the full payment timeline
  • Comprehensive webhook log — every call, callback and retry
  • Built for scale: 1,000+ merchants, sub-second queries

Security & compliance

Built like a bank, not a side project.

cc3a is engineered to PCI DSS SAQ D. Card data is encrypted, secrets live in the environment, and every action is logged and verifiable. The boring guarantees that let you sleep.

PCI DSS SAQ D

Full PAN stored only as AES-256-GCM ciphertext; CVV is used for the auth and never written to disk.

Encrypted at rest

Credentials and card data are encrypted with rotating keys, kept out of source and out of logs.

3-D Secure 2 / SCA

Strong customer authentication with liability shift, plus MIT exemptions for frictionless recurring charges.

Immutable audit log

Every money and admin action is hash-chained and tamper-evident, with a one-click integrity check.

Signed webhooks

HMAC-signed deliveries with idempotency keys, automatic retries and a full per-attempt history.

Card-data scrubbing

A Luhn-aware scrubber strips any PAN from logs before they are ever stored.

For developers

A clean API, built for developers.

Create a charge, vault a card or spin up a subscription with a single call. One integration covers cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and recurring billing — no extra providers to wire up.

  • Idempotency keys on every money endpoint
  • Signed, replayable webhooks with full history
  • Card vault with reusable tokens
  • OpenAPI-style reference in the dashboard
create-charge.sh
# Charge a vaulted card
curl /apiv2/v1/charges \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CC3A_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{
    "token": "tok_9f2a…",
    "amount": 4900,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "descriptor": "ACME-PRO"
  }'

# → authorised, 3DS-checked, vaulted, webhook-signed
