Example

note

Before running this request, create a sandbox account with Hyperwallet.

Once you create a sandbox account, create a user by selecting the Tutorial tab and completing the first two steps. In the response to your create user request, you should see a "token" field with a value that starts with usr-.... This is the value you need to use for HYPERWALLET_USER_TOKEN. *You can see your API Username in the Credentials tab, which is the value you need to provide as your HYPERWALLET_USER.

Finally, your API Password starts as the password for the account, but can be changed on the Credentials tab (note this does not change the account password). This is the value that you need to use forHYPERWALLET_PW.

Example create request (sandbox)

Example update request

note

The HYPERWALLET_INST_TOKEN is the token handed back from the create request. In the previous example, this was trm-62c28319-yyyy-4386-973d-cab385d9212a.

bash

curl https://forwarding.sandbox.braintreegateway.com/      -H "Content-Type: application/json"      -X POST      -u "${BRAINTREE_PUBLIC_KEY}:${BRAINTREE_PRIVATE_KEY}"      -d '{
         "merchant_id": "'"$BRAINTREE_MERCHANT_ID"'",
         "payment_method_nonce": "fake-valid-nonce",
         "name": "hyperwallet_sandbox",
         "url": "https://api.sandbox.hyperwallet.com/rest/v4/users/'"$HYPERWALLET_USER_TOKEN"'/bank-cards/'"$HYPERWALLET_INST_TOKEN"'",
         "method": "PUT",
         "sensitive_data": {
              "user": "'"$HYPERWALLET_USER"'",
              "password": "'"$HYPERWALLET_PW"'",
              "cvv": "123",
              "number": "4895142232120006"
          }
     }'

note
For testing in sandbox, Hyperwallet only accepts a limited set of card numbers. As such, even though in a normal request the card number will come from the payment_method_nonce, for this example we are overwriting that with a literal using the number attribute of sensitive_data. To use the account number of the nonce, as in a normal request, omit the number attribute from sensitive_data.

note
Test Values (cvv is 123 for all cards)

Common Issues

JSON

{
  "error": "Request URL does not match config URL regex",
  "message": {
    "config_regex": "^https://api.sandbox.hyperwallet.com/rest/v4/users/.*/bank-cards/.*$",
    "request_urls": [
      "https://api.sandbox.hyperwallet.com/rest/v4/users/usr-cedff10f-xxxx-42e5-bdf7-2f3abba7a817/bank-cards"
    ],
    "validation_error?": true
  },
  "request-uuid": "b6e56079-c93b-4efe-8ca5-6d4211097d4d"
}

Make sure bank cards have a trailing slash, the correct version is being used, and the URL is appropriate to the environment.

JSON

{
  "message ": "The bank account information provided is not configured for your program. ",
  "code ": "EXTERNAL_ACCOUNT_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED "
}

This error displays when "transferMethodCountry" is not US.

JSON

{
  "message": "The request cannot be processed - Please contact our support team for the assistance.",
  "code": "VISADIRECT_ERROR_107"
}

Hyperwallet does not accept the traditional test values Braintree has setup for payment_method_nonce. For sandbox, you can use the test values noted earlier in this document. For UAT, you need to work with your onboarding helper to receive nonce-tokens that represent vaulted debit cards that are then loaded by Forward API and sent to Hyperwallet.
