- Yes
- User support accessibility
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Description of service interface
- The service is accessed through a secure, browser-based interface. It provides a user-facing interface for customers to make payments, manage schedules, and view confirmations, and an administrative interface for authorised staff to configure rules, view reports, manage exceptions, and access support. The interface is responsive and designed for use across desktop and mobile devices without requiring additional software.
- Accessibility standards
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Accessibility testing
-
Accessibility is considered throughout the design and development of the service. The interface is tested against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria using a combination of automated accessibility testing tools and structured manual testing. This includes testing with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, colour contrast validation, and responsive layout behaviour.
Accessibility findings are logged and addressed as part of regular release cycles. Accessibility improvements are prioritised alongside functional enhancements, and feedback from customers and users, including those using assistive technologies where available, is incorporated to continually improve usability. - API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
The service provides a secure, REST-based API to support integration with customer finance, billing, and case management systems. Through the API, authorised systems can retrieve account balances, submit payment instructions, create or update payment schedules, receive payment and status updates, and support reconciliation and reporting processes.
Initial service setup and configuration is performed through the service interface. The API is used after setup to automate operational data exchange between systems, rather than to configure the service itself.
The API is designed to automate data exchange and reduce manual processing, rather than replace the user interface. Core service configuration, policy rules, approval workflows, and administrative settings are managed through the service interface to maintain governance and audit controls.
API access is authenticated and role-restricted. Usage is subject to agreed integration scope, rate limits, and security controls. The API does not support unrestricted configuration changes or bypassing approval or governance workflows defined by the customer. - API documentation
- Yes
- API documentation formats
- Open API (also known as Swagger)
- API sandbox or test environment

- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
-
The service is configurable through the administrative interface without requiring bespoke development. Designated customer administrators with appropriate permissions can customise payment options, schedules, retry rules, approval workflows, notification content and timing, user roles and permissions, and organisational branding. Configuration also includes enabling or disabling features and setting policy rules in line with organisational requirements.
Customisation is performed through secure, role-based access within the service interface. Changes can be made by authorised customer administrators and take effect immediately or at defined points in the payment cycle, depending on the configuration.
The service does not support customer-written code or unrestricted configuration that bypasses governance controls. Where additional configuration or onboarding support is required, this is provided by Payble as part of implementation or support services.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- The service is delivered on scalable cloud infrastructure designed to support multi-tenant usage. Resources are monitored continuously and scaled to meet demand, ensuring consistent performance for all users. Logical separation of customer data and workloads prevents one customer’s activity from impacting others. Capacity planning, performance monitoring, and rate limiting are used to manage peak usage and maintain service availability.
