Magensa Decrypt & Forward (DaF) is a PCI-DSS-certified cloud gateway that acts as a secure "wrapper": it decrypts data captured by a MagTek MagneSafe reader, injects the decrypted card fields into a payload of your choosing, and forwards the request to any third-party endpoint on your behalf — even one with no decryption service of its own. Built on the MagneSafe Security Architecture with L3-certified hardware, TDEA/AES encryption, and DUKPT key management, it handles every major payment type — magstripe, EMV contact and contactless, NFC wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR codes, gift cards, and more — and is certified with the major US processors, giving ISVs and integrators a single integration point that speeds time to market and shrinks PCI scope. Use the references below to explore the DaF API and related payment operations, grab sample code from GitHub, or open the support hub for manuals, brochures, developer guides, and videos.

The core Decrypt & Forward 4.0 web service: send encrypted MagneSafe data plus a target payload (SOAP or JSON), and Magensa decrypts it, injects card fields via replacement variables (e.g., {CCNum}), and forwards the request to any third-party service — processors, tokenization, gift cards, and more. v4.0 adds batched requests.
