Adding the payment source
How to add an external payment source to an order
You have a pending order with a selected payment method that is associated with an external payment gateway. You want to give your customer the possibility to process the payment using the external endpoint you configured.
To add an external payment source to an order, you have to create an external payment source object and associate it with the order, as described in the Checkout guide.
