Recommendation for getting started with EPX?

Hi, I work for this consulting company that recently takes a client who uses Epicor Bistrack and wants us the develop an ecommerce web store using EPX as the payment processor. I’ve had a lot of experience integrating Stripe / Adyen to client’s websites, but never had any experience with EPX. I find it very confusing to get started because it seems that EPX is super inaccessible comparing with Stripe, where you can just self-serve & register an account and view the API documentation to study it. After googling for a day I couldn’t even understand how to get started with EPX. I beg for some advices here to help me move forward. In particular, I have these questions:

  1. How can I get an EPX account and where can I find the API documentation?
  2. I’d like to implement a credit card checkout UI with EPX. I managed to get a documentation for Epicor Bistrack Web Store API, where it includes a REST API /api/payment/authorize-payment for authorizing credit card payment. But request parameter has a CardToken field. I don’t understand how to obtain this. Can someone help me understand this? I think I need to submit the CC payment to EPX and it should tokenize the card for me, so I can submit it through this API. But again, I have no clue how to get started with EPX.

Can someone explain to me as if I only have development experience with Stripe? Thank you very much.

EPX Is Epicor Payment Exchange and to get an account you need to buy their product.

They don’t have a standard API instead their API works through Payeezy
