Create an OrderPayment

🚧

To keep your app secure, requests to create an OrderPayment should only be generated on the server-side.

A POST request to /orders/{order_ref}/payments/ tells Forage’s servers how much to charge an existing PaymentMethod to create a payment associated with an existing Order.

On success, the API responds with a Forage OrderPayment object that represents the one-time charge. The PaymentMethod is not charged until the Order is captured, after a customer submits their PIN via the Forage Checkout UI to authorize the charge.

✅

Pass customer_id in the request to Create an OrderPayment

customer_id helps Forage's servers more quickly identify and associate the correct customer with the OrderPayment. While customer_id is not technically a required parameter, if you omit it then the request to create the OrderPayment could take longer to process. It is strongly recommended to pass customer_id.

Each customer should only have one unique customer_id. For example, if you create both an OrderPayment and a PaymentMethod for the same customer, then the customer_id should be the same in both requests.

🚧

Only create one OrderPayment per PaymentMethod associated with an Order.

The API returns a 400 if it identifies a duplicate charge. If you need to increase the amount charged to a PaymentMethod already associated with an Order, then update the corresponding OrderPayment instead of creating a new one.
