API Version

Payments API

Use the Payments REST API to easily and securely accept online and mobile payments. The payments name space contains resource collections for payments, sales, refunds, authorizations, captures, and orders.

You can enable customers to make PayPal and credit card payments with only a few clicks, depending on the country. You can accept an immediate payment or authorize a payment and capture it later. You can show details for completed payments, refunds, and authorizations. You can make full or partial refunds. You also can void or re-authorize authorizations. For more information, see the Payments overview.

Payment (resource group)

Use the /payment resource to create a sale, an authorized payment, or an order. A sale is a direct credit card payment, stored credit card payment, or PayPal payment. An authorized payment places funds on hold to be captured later. An order is a purchase that a customer has approved but for which the funds are not placed on hold. You can also use this resource to execute approved PayPal payments and show details for, update, and list payments. For more information, see also .

Create payment

POST /v1/payments/payment

Creates a sale, an authorized payment to be captured later, or an order. To create a sale, authorization, or order, include the payment details in the JSON request body. Set the intent to sale, authorize, or order.

Include payer, transaction details, and, for PayPal payments only, redirect URLs. The combination of the payment_method and funding_instrument determines the type of payment that is created. For more information, see Payments REST API.

`op`

enum

required

The operation. The possible values are:

- The target location is an array index. Inserts a new value into the array at the specified index.
- The target location is an object parameter that does not already exist. Adds a new parameter to the object.
- The target location is an object parameter that does exist. Replaces that parameter's value.
The value parameter defines the value to add. For more information, see 4.1. add.
remove. Removes the value at the target location. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.2. remove.
replace. Replaces the value at the target location with a new value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the replacement value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.3. replace.
move. Removes the value at a specified location and adds it to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to move the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.4. move.
copy. Copies the value at a specified location to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to copy the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.5. copy.

test. Tests that a value at the target location is equal to a specified value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the value to compare to the target location's value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must be equal to the value value. For test, equal indicates that the value at the target location and the value that value defines are of the same JSON type. The data type of the value determines how equality is defined:

Type	Considered equal if both values
strings	Contain the same number of Unicode characters and their code points are byte-by-byte equal.
numbers	Are numerically equal.
arrays	Contain the same number of values, and each value is equal to the value at the corresponding position in the other array, by using these type-specific rules.
objects	Contain the same number of parameters, and each parameter is equal to a parameter in the other object, by comparing their keys (as strings) and their values (by using these type-specific rules).
literals (`false`, `true`, and `null`)	Are the same. The comparison is a logical comparison. For example, whitespace between the parameter values of an array is not significant. Also, ordering of the serialization of object parameters is not significant.

For more information, see 4.6. test.
