APIs Used

Authorization API

The Authorization API is used to request approval of card or token-based transactions. To enable the clearing and settlement of an approved transaction, a subsequent Capture API request is required.

Capture API

The Capture API is used to initiate the clearing and settlement of a previously approved authorization request. The Capture API request should be submitted as soon as a client fulfills a customer’s order and must be within 30 days of the original authorization request.

Sales API

The Sale API is used for a purchase when goods or services are delivered immediately to the consumer.

Refund API

The Refund API is used to submit credit vouchers or merchandise returns for card and token based transactions.

Void API

The Void API can be used to reverse an outstanding or previously approved transaction. Voids can be also be submitted in case of time-outs.

Verification API

The Verification API can be used to validate cardholder account information. Account verification is supported for both Visa and non-Visa brands.
