Create a Payment using our API

Thanks to our level 1 PCI Compliance certificate we are able to tokenize and save your customer's payment method information safely. This way your customers won't have to provide their payment method details all over again each time they make a payment to your organization. This is specially useful for recurrence.

Let's take a look at how to create a transaction. The following example is for a checkout made by card.

Remember that for generating a transaction, you'll need to have a Price, a Customer and a Card created, since you'll need to pass this information into the body of the POST request.

Step 1. Prepare the request.

You'll need to set up a POST request to the following URL: https://api.rebill.com/v2/checkout.

Make sure to include the Bearer token or the Api Key generated from the Dashboard in your authorization settings. You'll also need to send your organization's ID through the headers, with the key 'organization_id'.

Remember we have a Postman Collection available so you can try out any endpoint swiftly!

Step 2. Create the payload

The payload should have the following format:

{
    "customer": {
        "id": "bfcf005b-7d4c-4879-aa17-d3a196196352",
        "card": {
            "id": "c1161ab5-d91e-421d-b6ff-b9306d1c9c7a"
        }
    },
    "prices": [
        {
            "id": "f6808238-9255-4694-8093-788f806296ea",
            "quantity": 1
        }
    ],
    "installments": { // optional
        "quantity": 6 
    }
}

The 'customer' object must include the customer id and the card id.

The 'prices' object must include the price id and the quantity, being 'quantity' the amount of products being payed by your customer.

The installments property is not required. Payments with installments should be one-time, though. That is, non-recurring or cyclical. More on Installments here.

Step 3. Send the request

Once you have the payload ready, then you will be able to send the POST request to the given URL

Step 4. Process the response

You will receive a response as successful or rejected, as mentioned. From there you'll be able to handle that information in the way that best suits your needs.
