The original_amount is 100.00.
The currency_code is PEN.
The status is ACT (active). This means that the payment process is active but not complete.
The code for the one-time payment reference is 229845. In this example, the payment code is a number in string format. Payment codes also can be bar codes or QR codes.
Instructions for your customer to complete the payment.
Your website displays to your customer:
the amount to pay
the payment reference number
the instructions for completing the payment.
Note
Simulating a Cash Payment
The does not directly simulate the action of the customer depositing cash at a point-of-sale location. You can simulate this action with the procedure described in Complete Payment. For this, you will need the payment ID that you generated in your sandbox.
Configure your system to receive webhooks with the procedure described in Defining a Webhook Endpoint.
After your customer successfully makes a payment:
The point-of-sale location informs Rapyd that the payment was completed successfully.
Rapyd sends you a webhook with the details of the completed transaction. See Webhook - Payment Completed .
The webhook contains the same types of information as the response to the Create Payment request, except that the status (under data) now is CLO (closed). This shows that the transaction is complete.
At this point, you can display a (success) status on the screen to let your customer know that their purchase was successful and that they can go ahead and collect their purchased items.
