About the project

To extend its reach into online payment acceptance, Airwallex created a payment gateway and needed tailored integrations for the Magento 2 and Shopify ecosystems - where Magebit came into play.

Client Challanges

Airwallex aimed to expand its payment gateway adoption on popular e-commerce platforms but faced several hurdles:

  1. Airwallex required specialized Magento 2 and Shopify knowledge to develop secure extensions.
  2. Handling sensitive credit card data demanded a secure, compliant solution that never stored card information on merchants’ servers.
  3. High-volume checkout events risked exceeding time-based API constraints, creating potential bottlenecks.
  4. Extensions had to meet strict coding and security standards for a successful listing in the Magento and Shopify Marketplaces.

The role of Magebit
Where digital magic comes to life

Magebit collaborated with Airwallex to develop and deploy robust, PCI DSS-compliant payment gateway extensions, each overcoming unique technical challenges:

  • PCI DSS alignment
    Employed iframe-based card entry so all credit card data (number, expiry, CVV) remains under Airwallex’s secure control, removing liability from the merchant.
  • Cloud infrastructure creation
    Created a secure cloud infrastructure to facilitate the payments for Airwallex payment gateway.
  • Shopify middleware solution
    Built an advanced middleware to synchronize product and pricing data externally, minimizing checkout API calls.
  • Technical consultation & support
    Provided best-practice guidance on secure payment flows, API optimization, and ongoing maintenance to ensure stability at scale.
