A merchant can use their POS to run card sales.

Integration steps

Run a sale.

Before you begin

Bearer tokens

Use our Identity Service to generate a Bearer token to include in the header of your requests. To generate your Bearer token, complete the following steps:

Include your API key in the x-api-key parameter in the header of a POST request.
Send your request to https://identity.payroc.com/authorize.

You need to generate a new Bearer token before the previous Bearer token expires.

Example request

curl --location --request POST  'https://identity.payroc.com/authorize' --header 'x-api-key: <api key>'

Example response

If your request is successful, we return a response that contains your Bearer token, information about its scope, and when it expires.

{
"access_token": "eyJhbGc....adQssw5c",
"expires_in": 3600,
"scope": "service_a service_b",
"token_type": "Bearer"
}

Headers

To create the header of each POST request, you must include the following parameters:

Content-Type: Include application/json as the value for this parameter.
Authorization: Include your Bearer token in this parameter.
Idempotency-Key: Include a UUID v4 to make the request idempotent.

curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: <Bearer token>"
-H "Idempotency-Key: <UUID v4>"

Errors

If your request is unsuccessful, we return an error. For more information about errors, see Errors.

Run a sale

This method includes the following functions:
