Key Concepts

Payment Methods

A Payment Method represents an individual's card or PayPal account, once registered in the service they can be used to take payment.

Transactions

A Transaction represents a payment, it has details on its current state and contains all history associated with that payment e.g. pre-authorisation attempts, capturing status, and refunds.

Authentication

The Payment Gateway uses JWT tokens for authentication, which can be retrieved from the Authentication Gateway.
