How Paytia works with Amazon Connect

Paytia sits on the SIP trunk alongside Amazon Connect on AWS. The platform you run doesn't change — Paytia just takes the part of the call you'd rather not have on the recording. Here's the flow on a live call.

  1. 1

    Connect the SIP trunk

    Paytia is added as a SIP trunk alongside your Amazon Connect instance. No change to your contact flows, your routing, or your agent workspace.

  2. 2

    Agent takes the call

    Your agent handles the Amazon Connect call exactly as they do today, right up to the payment step.

  3. 3

    Start a secure capture

    The agent triggers a Paytia capture session mid-call with a single action, and stays on the line throughout.

  4. 4

    Customer keys the card

    The customer enters their card on their own handset. DTMF masking replaces the tones in real time, so nothing reaches the agent or the recording.

  5. 5

    Payment confirmed

    The digits route straight to your gateway. The agent gets a real-time confirmation and carries on with the call.

Why Amazon Connect teams pick Paytia

PCI DSS Level 1

We hold the highest assurance tier, audited annually by a QSA — that's what lets us take the card data off your stack.

No card data exposure

Customers key their card on their own handset. DTMF masking strips the tones before they reach an agent or a recording.

No rip-and-replace

Paytia sits alongside the platform you already run. No new contact centre, no per-seat hardware, no agent retraining.

Clean call recordings

Card data never enters the recording, so you can drop pause-and-resume and post-call redaction entirely.

Works with your gateway

The digits route straight from the customer to your acquirer through Paytia — they never sit on your network or ours.

Scales with calls

Per-payment pricing tracks the work you actually do, so the bill doesn't punish you for headcount or idle seats.

Amazon Connect + Paytia — common questions

How does Paytia integrate with Amazon Connect?+

Paytia connects to your Amazon Connect instance as a SIP trunk and sits alongside it, so there's no rebuild of your contact flows or agent workspace. When it's time to take a payment, the agent starts a secure capture session and the customer keys their card on their own handset while the agent stays on the line.

Do agents have to leave Amazon Connect to take a payment?+

No. The agent stays in the Amazon Connect call the whole time. They trigger the capture with a single action, the customer enters their card, and the agent picks the conversation straight back up once the payment authorises.

Does this work with remote or home-working agents?+

Yes. Because Amazon Connect is cloud-native and Paytia sits at the SIP trunk level, it works the same whether your agents are in a contact centre, at home, or spread across multiple locations. There's no dependency on a shared corporate network.

What happens to our call recordings?+

Card data never enters the recording. Because the DTMF tones are masked before they reach the recording layer, you don't need pause-and-resume or post-call redaction — your Amazon Connect recordings stay clean and your retention policy doesn't change.

How much PCI scope does this remove?+

Capturing the card off your network drops most Amazon Connect contact centres from SAQ D (329 controls) to SAQ A (22). Your agents, desktops, AWS environment, and recording stack fall out of the cardholder data environment.

How quickly can we go live on Amazon Connect?+

Most rollouts take a few weeks. The SIP trunk and a configuration session are Paytia's side; your side is a sandbox merchant on the gateway and agent UAT.
