Payment API {process} Sale


Payment Card Processing API lets you process the credit and debit card deposits and payouts over REST API.

There are several transaction types supported by the API:
- Sale transaction API lets you receive the card payments from customers;
- Credit transaction API is a fund transfer from your merchant account to customer's card;
- Refund transaction API is a reverse operation to a successful deposit;

{danger.fa-exclamation} IMPORTANT: Sometimes transaction_id (PSP transaction identifier) is empty, this may happen in the cases when the PSP has rejected the processing attempt due to input validation or unavailability of the payment gateway.
