Integrating a point of sale (POS) terminal with Centrapay APIs allows merchants to accept payment via any Centrapay-enabled apps without installing additional POS hardware or software.
Core Requirements
Centrapay POS integrations must be able to create API , void API and refund API Payment Requests on behalf of Merchants.
The POS authenticates against Centrapay APIs using a single “merchant terminal” API key.
- Requesting Payment MUST connect with the patron using either the QR Code Flow for Merchants or the Barcode Flow for Merchants.
- Merchant integration errors MUST be handled correctly.
- Initiating refunds MUST be performed using the
idorshortCodePayment Request API fields. - The
idorshortCodeMUST be made available to the patron (e.g. on paper print-out). - Paid Asset Types API MUST be made available for merchant Transaction Reporting.
