Standard API flow

To correctly set up the custom integration on you website, you need to implement the following 3 API calls:

create order
This POST call is mandatory to create the order.

In this call, all the useful order information are sent from the merchant website to our server. Upon successful call, an order is created in Scalapay database: Scalapay answers with a checkout URL where to redirect the customer.

As a Travel merchant, it is mandatory to note the following details regarding the create order call:

  • in the consumer parameter, the field email is mandatory and must be valid (no spaces before or after the address, format username+symbol+mail server+domain - ex. [email protected] )
  • billing should be sent, if available
  • please make sure the type field is set to online for e-commerce purchases
  • please make sure the product field is configured according to contractual terms agreed with Scalapay (pay in 3 or pay in 4)
    "product":"pay-in-3",
    "frequency":{
        "number": 1,
        "frequencyType":"monthly"
    }
    "product":"pay-in-4",
    "frequency":{
        "number": 1,
        "frequencyType":"monthly"
    }
  • extensions field must be added and populated, as indicated below
    "extensions": {
        "industry":{
            "travel":{
                "startDate": "2023-11-30",
                "endDate": "2023-12-18"
            }
