For the full API specification, see the API reference.
post
https://api.checkout.com/payments
If you receive a 202 Success response containing a status field set to Pending, your request was successful.
Redirect your customer to the redirect link’s href in the response. This will allow the customer to authorize the payment, before they are transferred to your predefined success or failure URL.
For the full API specification, see the API reference.
get
https://api.checkout.com/payments/{id}
PostFinance supports both partial and full refunds. You can refund a payment through the Dashboard or by using the refund API.
If the customer fails to complete their payment, we will automatically void the payment and send a payment_expired webhook.
If the customer cancels their payment, we will send a payment_canceled webhook.
To start testing, you'll need to contact your Customer Success Manager or Implementation Engineer to activate PostFinance payments in the sandbox environment.
- Create a PostFinance transaction as above, following the redirect link in the response to PostFinance's website.
- Set the payment response and payment delay as necessary.
- Select Submit. You should then be redirected to your predefined success URL.
