Process a Settlement

POST /alternatepayments/v1/accounts/account_id/payments/payment_id/settlements

To settle a payment that has previously been authorized (that is, a manual settlement request where settleWithAuth is set to false), you must make a POST request to the settlements endpoint.

This operation is supported only for payment methods that support the manual settlement payment flow.

curl -X POST https://api.test.paysafe.com/alternatepayments/v1/accounts/1001402050/payments/32a5f610-59bf-4a03-bef6-35ef0df64396/settlements \
-u testuser:B-qa2-0-53625f86-302c021476f52bdc9deab7aea876bb28762e62f92fc6712d0214736abf501e9675e55940e83ef77f5c304edc7968 \

{
"merchantRefNum":"UniqueRef1234",
"dupCheck":true,
"amount":100
}

Prior to trying the example above, you should:

  • Provide a unique merchant reference number (merchantRefNum) for each transaction.
  • Replace the account number (1001402050) in the URL with the Test account number you received for the alternate payments method you are testing.
  • Replace the payment ID (32a5f610-59bf-4a03-bef6-35ef0df64396) with the payment ID you received in the response to your Payment request.
  • Replace the API key (after the -u) with the Test API key you have received.
