This manual is intended to assist developers in integrating the Pathward Merchant Portal API with their own software. It provides essential information for interacting with the API, without being specific to any single development platform.

While Pathward offers resources to support developers in building solutions for the software, it remains the developer’s responsibility to create their own solution on the chosen platform and ensure proper utilization of Pathward’s services.
