Adding a wire transfer payment source

How to add an wire transfer payment source to an order

Problem

You have a pending order with a selected payment method that is associated with a manual payment gateway. You want to give your customer the possibility to pay with a wire transfer.

Solution

To add a wire transfer payment source to an order, you have to create a wire transfer payment source object and associate it with the order, as described in the Checkout guide.

Example

1. Get the payment source type

Request

The following request retrieves the attributes of the payment method associated with the order identified by the "yPMWYhmzON" ID:

  -H 'Authorization: Bearer your-access-token' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json'

Response

On success, the API responds with a 200 OK status code, returning the requested order object and the associated payment method:
