Create a Payment

Definition: POST /v1/payments

To initiate a payment, you must create a payment object. The parameters of the payment are sent in the message body as a JSON object.

We recommend that the billing country (Payment.BillingAddress.Country) parameter to be sent. If this parameter is not sent the country is determined using IP detection, which is not always reliable. This parameter is used in various scenarios and an accurate value will increase conversion.

A 201 HTTP response (Created) is returned if the payment was correctly initialized.

The Customer ID parameter, the unique number that identifies the customer in the GlobalPay system, it will only be returned in response for the following payment methods: Debito Banco do Brasil (32), MercadoPago(46), Boleto (1000), Transferencia entre contas (1002), Cards Argentina (1079), Santander Rio (1080), Cash Payments Argentina (1081), Credit Cards Brazil (1082), Boleto Brazil (1083), Online Bank Transfer Brazil (1084), Credit Cards Chile (1085), Servipag (1086), WebPay (1087), Cards Colombia (1088), PSE Colombia (1089), Cash payment Colombia (1090), Cards Mexico (1091), Oxxo (1092), SPEI (1093), Bank Transfer Mexico (1094), Credit Cards Uruguay (1095), Redpagos (1096), Credit Cards(Visa) (1097), Cash payment Peru (1098), Bank Transfer Peru (1099).
