This call must be performed from your backend server!
The Create-checkout-link call requires your private_key (your secret password) which should not be exposed on the client-side.

Make a Payment request :

Example of a Request Payload for a SaaS Platform:

📘
For a SaaS platform, the payload should not include an items array, and the vendor ID must be sent directly as a separate parameter.

{
  "amount": 100,
  "currency": "GBP",
  "vendorId": "66532df5d55926b2b12a874a",

  }
}

Example of a Request Payload for a Marketplace Platform:

📘
For a Marketplace Platform, the vendor ID is included within the items array, allowing for multiple items and vendors, with the payment being split accordingly.

{
  "amount": 100,
  "currency": "GBP",
  "orderId": "1000456",
  "description": "Iphone case",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "phone": "+447911123456",
  "country": "GB",
 	"reference": "100456",
  "invoiceUrl": "http://yourcompany.com/invoice.pdf",
  "dueDate": "2020-12-13", //OPTIONAL
  "vatAmount": 19, //OPTIONAL
  "successfulPaymentRedirect": "http://yourcompany.com/redirect", //OPTIONAL
  "items": [	
    {
      "name": "Iphone case",
      "amount": 100,
      "vendorId": "5ee8e655a65f08fcd71fe4d9",
      "platformFee": 0,
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ],
  "consumer": {
    "name": "Raul Runte",
		"reference": "CON-REF-123",
  },
  "billingAddress": {
    "firstName": "string",
    "lastName": "string",
    "city": "London",
    "country": "GB",
    "line1": "64 New Cavendish Street",
    "line2": "",
    "postalCode": "W1G 8TB",
    "state": ""
  },
  "shippingSameAsBilling": true,
  "shippingAddress": {
    "firstName": "string",
    "lastName": "string",
    "city": "London",
    "country": "GB",
    "line1": "64 New Cavendish Street",
    "line2": "",
    "postalCode": "W1G 8TB", 
    "state": ""
  },
  
  "metadata": {
    "CustomerID": "457349"
  }
}

In the response you will find the shortLink field, which contains the URL of the checkout page.

Optional address fields

We highly recommend you pass information about the consumer's address when creating a checkout. Passing the billing and shipping (for physical goods) addresses will increase the success rate of the transaction.

In case shipping address is not applicable (for non-physical goods), set the shippingSameAsBilling flag to true.

Note: Add a 2-letter ISO state code (for customers based in the US, Canada, and India only).
