Integration Scope
Collection service can be integrated with any organization or system that requires a payment system to keep track of its payments. Organizations can customize part of the application or its functionalities based on their requirements.
Integration Benefits
Easy payments and tracking of payments.
Configurable functionalities according to client requirement
Steps to Integration
Customers can create a payment using the /payments/_create
Actors on the system can keep track of payments using /payments/_searchendpoint
Once the payment is done and it encounters a technical issue that is beyond the system - the payment can be cancelled with /payments/_workflow
For employees to access the payments API the respective module name should be appended to the payment API path - /payments/PT/_workflow. Here PT refers to the property module.
