OMAHA, Neb--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#APIs--TSG (The Strawhecker Group), a globally recognized analytics, intelligence, and solutions-focused firm in the payments industry, is pleased to recognize a selection of payments companies for their exceptional API offerings.
The annual API Best of Breed Report, powered by TSG's Global Experience Monitoring (GEM) platform, ranks payment gateways' overall API experience across two components, API Set and Developer Roadmap, to provide insights, benchmarks, and recommendations for their developer integration experience. The assessment provides a lens into the developer mindset, both novice and experienced, on how APIs are perceived externally.
Al Novacek, Senior Director of Product Operations, explains, "Developer decisions are influenced by the path of least resistance, and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of API sets relative to the market gives an advantage when addressing points of friction and roadblocks."
See below for the winners and runners-up in the 2024 API "Best of Breed" Awards.
TSG can evaluate, benchmark, and help improve your gateway performance. Payments companies that use GEM to monitor and improve this process can increase customer retention by 5% or more.
