Payment Methods

Technical Author Note

Drafted from sample content. Verify all field names, request/response examples, and status values against the OpenAPI spec or a real API response before publication.

The payment methods PAYSTRAX supports, and how each one maps onto the core card payment flows.

Cards are the baseline method that every other method is described against. Wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are card payments underneath, with an added device-level confirmation step. Start with Cards for the model that applies everywhere, then see the method-specific pages for what differs.

  • Cards — the default method and the baseline for all others.
  • Apple Pay — present the sheet, decrypt the token, process the underlying card payment.
  • Google Pay — drafting in progress.

For how a collected method is then charged, see Payment Flows. For storing a card to charge again later, see Tokenisation.
