Authenticate your requests before making API calls. If your request fails, see Errors.

Run a sale

To run a sale, send a POST request to our Payments endpoint.

Important: This method includes the following functions:

  • Tokenization
  • Pre-authorization
  • Currency conversion
  • Offline processing

We don’t describe how to integrate with these functions in this guide.

Request parameters

To create the body of your request, use the following parameters:

Request

channelenumRequired
Channel that the merchant used to receive the payment details.
processingTerminalIdstringRequired4-50 characters
Unique identifier that we assigned to the terminal.
orderobjectRequired
Object that contains information about the payment.
paymentMethodobjectRequired
Polymorphic object that contains payment details. The value of the type parameter determines which variant you should use: - `card` - Payment card details - `secureToken` - Secure token details - `digitalWallet` - Digital wallet details - `singleUseToken` - Single-use token details
operatorstringOptional0-50 characters
Operator who ran the transaction.
customerobjectOptional
Object that contains the customer's contact details and address information. Contains parameters required for [Level 2, Level 3, and CEDP transactions](https://docs.payroc.com/knowledge/card-payments/enhanced-data).
ipAddressobjectOptional
Object that contains the IP address of the device that sent the request.
threeDSecureobjectOptional
Polymorphic object that contains authentication information from 3-D Secure. The value of the serviceProvider parameter determines which variant you should use: - `gateway` - Use our gateway to run a 3-D Secure check. - `thirdParty` - Use a third party to run a 3-D Secure check.
credentialOnFileobjectOptional
Object that contains information about saving the customer’s payment details.

autoCapturebooleanOptionalDefaults to true
Indicates if we should automatically capture the payment amount. - `true` - Run a sale and automatically capture the transaction. - `false`- Run a pre-authorization and capture the transaction later. **Note:** If you send `false` and the terminal doesn't support pre-authorization, we set the transaction's status to pending. The merchant must capture the transaction to take payment from the customer.
processAsSalebooleanOptionalDefaults to false
Indicates if we should immediately settle the sale transaction. The merchant cannot adjust the transaction if we immediately settle it. **Note:** If the value for **processAsSale** is `true`, the gateway ignores the value in **autoCapture**.
