Integration

The default integration for Zip uses a redirect to a hosted payments page. Start by creating a new transaction with the following required fields. 
var transaction = await client.Transactions.CreateAsync(
  transactionCreate: new TransactionCreate()
  {
    Amount = 1299,
    Currency = "AUD",
    Country = "AU",
    PaymentMethod =
      TransactionCreatePaymentMethod.CreateRedirectPaymentMethodCreate(
        new RedirectPaymentMethodCreate()
        {
          Method = "zippay",
          Country = "AU",
          Currency = "AUD",
          RedirectUrl = "https://example.com/callback",
        }
      ),
  }
);
After the transaction is created, the API response includes a payment_method.approval_url and the status is set to buyer_approval_pending. The approval URL expires after 30 minutes. 
{
  "type": "transaction",
  "id": "ea1efdd0-20f9-44d9-9b0b-0a3d71e9b625",
  "payment_method": {
    "type": "payment-method",
    "approval_url": "https://cdn.gr4vy.com/connectors/..."
  },
  "method": "zippay"
}
Redirect the buyer to the approval_url (open in a browser or Webview), where they can complete the payment. Once the buyer approves, the transaction progresses to an authorization_succeeded or capture_succeeded state.
