Request example
{
"source": {
"type": "poli"
},
"amount": 111,
"currency": "AUD"
}
If a customer ID or email is not provided in the request, then we automatically create a customer profile and return the customer id
in the response.
The POST response
If a payment id
is returned, then your request was successful.
Response example
{
"id": "pay_nlj7cdwepelutidihyaeexyzae",
"status": "Pending",
"customer": {
"id": "cus_qsbi7c2lnkbu5dhkkaci76xdh4"
},
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "https://api.sandbox.checkout.com/payments/pay_nlj7cdwepelutidihyaeexyzae"
},
"redirect": {
"href": "https://sandbox.checkout.com/LP.Core/api/payment/109457"
}
}
}
Redirect the customer
Redirect your customer to the redirect
link’s href in the above response. The redirect transfers the customer to their bank's website where they are required to enter their authorization details; if successful, the payment can be approved.
Once completed, the customer is transferred to your predefined success or failure URL. Confirmation of a Poli payment is communicated only through webhooks. When you receive a payment_captured
webhook notification, the transaction has been completed successfully. Until the payment_captured
webhook is received (response code 10000
), all payments are labeled as Pending.
