Yamini, You can utilize the PayFac API like any other REST based API from within your SalesForce environment. In other words, if you were using something Iike SalesForce APEX, you could make calls like so: How to make a post request to some other server from apex controller - Salesforce Stack Exchange

All of our PayFac developer documentation is here: PayFac Developer Documentation

And you may be referring to the PayFac API Here: Vantiv PayFac API Reference Guide v13.0 v2.0

Are you already enrolled as a PayFac? If so, reach out to your relationship manager and we can start an integration project with you. If not, there are steps and processes involved in becoming a PayFac and you and your organization should reach out to us to start that process if you have not already.

Yamini,

You can normally do this with your RM, they can start the project intake process. If you reach out to them, they can help guide the process. I can reach out as well, which orgnaization are you with?

Thanks,
