How Dwolla’s Integration Works

Dwolla's single API, comprehensive resources and dedicated support team provide a straightforward and seamless integration process for businesses. Dwolla offers intuitive SDKs and a well-documented API that includes some low-code components.

Dwolla provides a risk-free sandbox environment for testing payment integrations. This isolated, fully simulated platform allows developers to experiment with features, validate functionality and refine their solutions before going live. By using test data and mimicking real-world scenarios, businesses can confidently build and deploy their payment integrations without impacting the production environment or exposing sensitive information.

Dwolla offers dedicated support channels, including a developer forum and support portal, connecting businesses with the payment experts who can best answer their questions. This translates to quicker resolutions and means businesses spend less time troubleshooting payments and more time focusing on what matters most.

Transforming Union Dues Collection

The Florida Education Association (FEA), a statewide federation of local teacher unions, was seeking a way to modernize its dues collection process. By partnering with Dwolla, the FEA implemented a digital payment platform powered by ACH payment automation that enabled members to conveniently pay dues online directly from their bank accounts. Dwolla's comprehensive solution allowed the FEA to rapidly implement secure and flexible payments at a competitive price with exceptional support.

Helping Pet Insurance Streamline Reimbursements

A pet insurance company partnered with Dwolla to streamline its reimbursement process and enhance the policyholder experience. By leveraging Dwolla's API, the company automated payment disbursements to policyholders, reducing manual effort and processing times. With automated ACH, policyholders now receive their reimbursements five days faster, resulting in increased satisfaction and cost savings for the insurance company. A senior controller at the company commented: "We recommend and strongly encourage our customers to use ACH...Providing them with an option to get them their reimbursement sooner and save us money is a win-win.”

Automate your payments in as little as ten days.

Dwolla's full-service approach replaces legacy payments technology with a single solution, improving security, data visibility and the customer experience.
