OpenAPI apis-guru payment

Adyen Checkout API provides a simple and flexible way to initiate and authorise online payments. You can use the same integration for payments made with cards (including 3D Secure), mobile wallets, and local payment methods (for example, iDEAL and Sofort).

This API reference provides information on available endpoints and how to interact with them. To learn more about the API, visit .

Authentication

Each request to Checkout API must be signed with an API key. For this, from your Customer Area, and set this key to the X-API-Key header value, for example:

curl-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \...

Versioning

Checkout API supports using a version suffix in the endpoint URL. This suffix has the following format: "vXX", where XX is the version number.

For example:

https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v37/payments

Going live

To access the live endpoints, you need an API key from your live Customer Area.

The live endpoint URLs contain a prefix which is unique to your company account, for example:

https://{PREFIX}-checkout-live.adyenpayments.com/checkout/v37/payments

Get your {PREFIX} from your live Customer Area under Developers > API URLs > Prefix.

    For more information, see .

  • payments.postPaymentMethods

    Queries the available payment methods for a transaction based on the transaction context (like amount, country, and currency). Besides giving back a list of the available payment methods, the response also returns which input details you need to collect from the shopper (to be submitted to /payments).

    Although we highly recommend using this endpoint to ensure you are always offering the most up-to-date list of payment methods, its usage is optional. You can, for example, also cache the /paymentMethods response and update it once a week.

  • payments.postPayments

    Sends payment parameters (like amount, country, and currency) together with other required input details collected from the shopper. To know more about required parameters for specific payment methods, refer to our . The response depends on the :

    • For a redirect or additional action, the response contains an action object.
