How ePayment works in the store
Enable your customers to pay easily and quickly from their own phone, without the need to touch the terminal. Offer contactless payment to your customers by integrating the ePayment API into your POS system.
It is also possible to use our simpler solution, Open amount, but then the amount must be entered manually at checkout, and there will be some follow-up with accounting and settlement.
This flow is also described under Recommended flows: In-store payments, where there are detailed code examples.

3. The customer confirms payment in the app

Register a webhook to alert you when your payment requests are approved. See the Webhooks API guide for more details.
What are webhooks?
When changes happen to your payment request, events are triggered (for example: Authorized, Terminated, Aborted, Cancelled, Expired, and many more).
You can register to receive these events, which is useful for programming an appropriate and quick response.
The webhook will send a message to your web server at the URL you specify.
See the Webhooks API guide for more details.
4. Register the payment
Register the payment in your POS system.
