Requests Overview

Read a basic overview of what a request is and how you use it to integrate with the service.

You can use the requests listed here to integrate the service's functions with your checkout processes.

You use a combination of an endpoint in the API and a method to model the functions that you use to integrate the service and your checkout process. For example, you might use the Confirm Transactions (POST +/seller/transactions/key/confirm) request to confirm a transaction in your basket after payment is confirmed.
