Buyers
Associate a transaction to a buyer
Associate a transaction to a customer record.
Once a buyer has been created it’s possible to link transactions to that buyer. There are a few ways to associate a transaction to a buyer.
Associate the payment method to a buyer_id
The easiest way to associate a buyer to a transaction is to pass along a
buyer_id
for the payment method when creating a transaction.
This will find a buyer with that id
and associate it to the payment method for
this transaction. If a buyer with that id
could not be found it’s ignored.
curl -i -X POST "https://api.example.gr4vy.app/transactions" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer [JWT_TOKEN]" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"amount": 1299,
"currency": "AUD",
"payment_method": {
"method": "card",
"number": "4111111111111111",
"expiration_date": "11/25",
"security_code": "123",
"buyer_id": "fe26475d-ec3e-4884-9553-f7356683f7f9",
}
}'
Associate by buyer_external_identifier
Alternatively, a transaction can be associated to a buyer by its
external_identifier
. If a buyer with that external_identifier
could not be
found it’s ignored.
curl -i -X POST "https://api.example.gr4vy.app/transactions" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer [JWT_TOKEN]" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"amount": 1299,
"currency": "AUD",
"payment_method": {
"method": "card",
"number": "4111111111111111",
"expiration_date": "11/25",
"security_code": "123",
"buyer_external_identifier": "412231123",
}
}'
