How Paytia works with 8x8

Paytia sits on the SIP trunk alongside 8x8 Contact Center and 8x8 Work (the 8x8 XCaaS platform). 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 8x8 XCaaS platform. No change to your routing, your dial plan, or your agent desktop.

  2. 2

    Agent takes the call

    Your agent handles the 8x8 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 8x8 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 center, 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.

8x8 + Paytia — common questions

How does Paytia integrate with 8x8?+

Paytia connects to your 8x8 XCaaS platform as a SIP trunk and sits alongside it, so there's no rebuild of your routing or agent desktop. 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. It works the same way across 8x8 Contact Center and 8x8 Work.

Do agents have to leave 8x8 to take a payment?+

No. The agent stays in the 8x8 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 for remote and home agents on 8x8?+

Yes. Because 8x8 XCaaS is cloud-native, your agents can be in the office, at home, or anywhere else — the integration works identically wherever they are. Paytia sits on the SIP trunk, not on the agent's device, so agent location has no effect on PCI scope or how payments are captured.

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 8x8 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 8x8 contact centers from SAQ D (329 controls) to SAQ A (22). Your agents, desktops, network segment, and recording stack fall out of the cardholder data environment.

How quickly can we go live on 8x8?+

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.
