    • Cashier API virtual-terminal

    virtual-terminal is the API function that allow you to open the checkout session on behalf of the customer.

    Agent will be led through the process of paying an exact amount, in case of failure the manager will be helped to try with another payment option.

    When executing the request, you receive json response that contains redirect_url parameter. The redirect_url parameter is a link that will automatically do the customer login to Cashier.

    This link should be embedded into iframe's src attribute

    {danger.fa-exclamation-triangle} IMPORTANT #1: The validation callback will be triggered only if the validation_url is provided within the Cashier session request.

    {danger.fa-exclamation-triangle} IMPORTANT #2: You will need to implement the customer_sync callback and provide your callback URL in order to use Virtual Terminal feature within Atlas. However, the Customer Sync is not required if Virtual Terminal is initiated over API.
