Use this request with a BillingTemplate having is_subscription == false. Specify the BillingTemplateClient data (only client_id field is needed) in the request body. The request will issue a Purchase by combining data of BillingTemplate.purchase and BillingTemplateClient.client and will send an invoice to your Client. Response will contain data of a created Purchase. The BillingTemplateClient will not be saved.

Authorizations

Authorization
string
headerrequired

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Path Parameters

id
string
required

Object ID (UUID)

Body

application/json

Connects a Client object to a BillingTemplate having is_subscription = true to store information about a single subscriber.

You will be able to pause an individual subscription client's cycle by PATCH-ing its' status field to the value of subscription_paused.

client_id
string
required

ID of the Client object to add to the BillingTemplate. Read-only after the BillingTemplateClient has been created. Note that the same Client can be added to a BillingTemplate several times.

status
enum<string>
default: inactive

For subscriptions, you can edit (PATCH /billing_templates/{id}/clients/{id}/) this status between active and subscription_paused values to pause the client's subscription. Paused subscriptions run as normal, except for purchases not being created and invoices sent for them. It means that if you pause a BillingTemplateClient's monthly subscription cycle a day before the billing date, the next day the invoice will not be issued; but, if you unpause the client a day after the planned billing would have taken place, the planned billing in a month (minus one day) will happen as usual.

Read-only if the BillingTemplateClient is in inactive (internal status not managed through public API) or pending (see documentation for POST /billing_templates/{id}/add_subscriber/) statuses.

Available options:
pending,
inactive,
active,
subscription_paused

  • sent: Invoice for this purchase was sent over email using Billing API capabilities.
  • viewed: The client has viewed the payform and/or invoice details for this purchase.

  • cancelled: Purchase was cancelled using the POST /purchases/{id}/cancel/ endpoint; payment for it is not possible anymore.
  • overdue: Purchase is past its' .due, but payment for it is still possible (unless e.g. POST /purchases/{id}/cancel/ is used).
  • expired: Purchase is past its' .due and payment for it isn't possible anymore (as a result of purchase.due_strict having been set to true).
  • blocked: Like error, but payment attempt was blocked due to fraud scoring below threshold or other security checks not passing.
  • hold: Funds are on hold for this Purchase (.skip_capture: true was used). You can now run POST /capture/ or POST /release/ for this payment to capture the payment or return funds to the client, respectively.
  • released: This Purchase previously had hold status, but funds have since been released and returned to the customer's card.
  • pending_release: release of funds for this Purchase is in processing, but is not finalized on the acquirer side yet. Is set by POST /purchases/{id}/release/ operation when it takes longer than expected to process on the acquirer side.
  • pending_capture: capture of funds for this Purchase is in processing, but is not finalized on the acquirer side yet. Is set by POST /purchases/{id}/capture/ operation when it takes longer than expected to process on the acquirer side.
  • preauthorized: A preauthorization of a card (authorization of card data without a financial transaction) was executed successfully using this Purchase. See the description of the .skip_capture field for more details.

  • settled: Settlement was issued for funds for this Purchase (that was already paid). All non-card payment methods and some card payment methods (depends on configuration) don't use this status and Purchases paid using them stay in paid status instead.
  • chargeback: A chargeback was registered for this, previously paid, Purchase.
  • pending_refund: a refund (full or partial) for this Purchase is in processing, but is not finalized on the acquirer side yet. Is set by POST /purchases/{id}/refund/ operation when it takes longer than expected to process on the acquirer side.

status_history
object[]

History of status changes, latest last. Might contain entry about a related object, e.g. status change to refunded will contain a reference to the refund Payment.

viewed_on
integer

Time the payment form or invoice page was first viewed on

company_id
string
is_test
boolean

Indicates this is a test object, created using test API keys or using Billing section of UI while in test mode.

user_id
string | null

ID of user who has created this object in the Billing UI, if applicable.

billing_template_id
string | null

ID of a BillingTemplate that has spawned this Purchase, if any.

client_id
string | null

ID of a Client object used to initialize ClientDetails (.client) of this Purchase. Either this field or specifying .client object is required (you can only specify a value for one of these fields). All ClientDetails fields from the Client will be copied to .client object. Note that editing Client object won't change the respective fields in already created Purchases.

If you specify this field and your client saves a recurring_token (for instance, by saving their card), the respective ClientRecurringToken will be created. See the /clients/{id}/recurring_tokens/ endpoint.

send_receipt
boolean
default: false

Whether to send receipt email for this Purchase when it's paid.

is_recurring_token
boolean

Indicates whether a recurring token (e.g. for card payments - card token) was saved for this Purchase. If this is true, the id of this Purchase can be used as a recurring_token in POST /purchases/{id}/charge/, enabling you to pay for that Purchase using the same method (same card for card payments) that this one was paid with.

recurring_token
string | null

ID of a recurring token (Purchase having is_recurring_token == true) that was used to pay this Purchase, if any.

skip_capture
boolean
default: false

Card payment-specific: if set to true, only authorize the payment (place funds on hold) when payer enters his card data and pays. This option requires a POST /capture/ or POST /release/ later on.

You can use the preauthorization feature if you set this parameter to true and make the Purchase with purchase.total == 0 (this can be achieved by providing a list of purchase.products with a total price of 0, or simply overriding the total using purchase.total_override to 0). The resulting Purchase can only be "paid" by the client (only cardholder data verification will happen, without a financial transaction) by card and will enforce saving the client's card. When this happens, the Purchase will have status of preauthorized and the purchase.preauthorized webhook callbacks will be emitted.

Trying to use skip_capture (or preauthorization) without any payment methods that support the respective actions (this can be a result of payment_method_whitelist field being used) will result in an error on Purchase creation request step. Please check the GET /payment_methods/ response for your desired Purchase parameters and/or consult with your account manager.

force_recurring
boolean
default: false

If the used payment method supports recurring payment functionality, forces the customer's payment credentials to be saved for possible later recurring payments, without giving the customer a choice in the matter.

reference_generated
string

If you don't provide an invoice reference yourself, this autogenerated value will be used as a reference instead.

reference
string

Invoice reference.

Maximum length: 128
issued
string

Value for 'Invoice issued' field. Display-only, does not get validated. If not provided, will be generated as the current date in purchase.timezone at the moment of Purchase's creation.

due
integer

When the payment is due for this Purchase. The default behaviour is to still allow payment once this moment passes. To change that, set purchase.due_strict to true.

refund_availability
enum<string>

Specifies, if the purchase can be refunded fully and partially, only fully, partially or not at all.

Available options:
all,
full_only,
partial_only,
pis_all,
pis_partial,
none
refundable_amount
integer

Amount of money as the smallest indivisible units of the currency. Examples: 1 cent for EUR and 1 Yen for JPY.

currency_conversion
object | null

This object is present when automatic currency conversion has occurred upon creation of the purchase. Purchase's original currency was changed and its original amount was converted using the exchange rate shown here.

payment_method_whitelist
string[]

An optional whitelist of payment methods availble for this purchase. Use this field if you want to restrict your payer to pay using only one or several specific methods.

Using this field and at the same time trying to use specific capabilities of a Purchase (e.g. skip_capture or charging it using a saved card token using POST /purchases/{id}/charge/) can cause a situation when there are no payment methods available for paying this Purchase. This will cause a validation error on Purchase creation. Please check the GET /payment_methods/ response for your desired Purchase parameters and/or consult with your account manager.

success_redirect
string

When Purchase is paid for successfully, your customer will be taken to this link. Otherwise a standard screen will be displayed.

Maximum length: 500
failure_redirect
string

If there's a payment failure for this Purchase, your customer will be taken to this link. Otherwise a standard screen will be displayed.

Maximum length: 500
cancel_redirect
string

If you provide this link, customer will have an option to go to it instead of making payment (a button with 'Return to seller' text will be displayed). Can't contain any of the following symbols: <>'" .

Be aware that this does not cancel the payment (e.g. does not do the equivalent of doing the POST /purchases/{id}/cancel/ request); the client will still be able to press 'Back' in the browser and perform the payment.

Maximum length: 500
success_callback
string

When Purchase is paid for successfully, the success_callback URL will receive a POST request with the Purchase object's data in body.

Maximum length: 500
creator_agent
string

Identification of software (e.g. an ecommerce module and version) used to create this purchase, if any.

Maximum length: 32
platform
enum<string>

Platform this Purchase was created on.

Available options:
web,
api,
ios,
android,
macos,
windows
product
enum<string>

Defines which gateway product was used to create this Purchase.

Available options:
purchases,
billing_invoices,
billing_subscriptions,
billing_subscriptions_invoice
created_from_ip
string

IP the Purchase was created from.

invoice_url
string

URL you will be able to access invoice for this Purchase at, if applicable

Maximum length: 500
checkout_url
string

URL you will be able to access the checkout for this Purchase at, if payment for it is possible. When building integrations, redirect the customer to this URL once purchase is created.

You can add the preferred query arg to the checkout_url in order to force redirect the client straight to the checkout for a specific payment method (?preferred={payment_method}, where {payment_method} is the payment method name as returned by GET /payment_methods/). If this method redirects the client further to a different system and no customer data entry is needed on gateway's checkout page, your payer will be taken straight to that page (not seeing the gateway's checkout UI); otherwise, he will see the payment method entry UI on the gateway checkout page.

Maximum length: 500
direct_post_url
string

URL that can be used for Direct Post integration.

This functionality is activated for each merchant account individually. Please consult with your account manager if you wish to use it.

Will be null if payment for purchase is not possible, purchase.request_client_details isn't empty or success_redirect/failure_redirect are not provided - these all break the usual direct post flow.

To leverage Direct Post checkout, create a <form> having method="POST" action="<direct_post_url value>" and include the following inputs:

cardholder_name: text, Latin letters only (space and apostrophe ('), dot (.), dash (-) symbols are also allowed), max 30 chars


card_number: text, digits only, no whitespace, max 19 chars


expires: text in 'MM/YY' format, digits and a slash only /^\d{2}\/\d{2}$/, max 5 chars


cvc: numeric string of 3 or 4 digits


remember_card: checkbox with value="on" (the default when omitting value attribute of a checkbox input)

Ensure the validation as listed above! Validation errors will be treated as payment failures. Obviously, you can style this form to fit in with the rest of your website.

When your payer submits this form (don't forget a <button> or <input type="submit">), he will POST the data directly to the gateway system. There, with minimal interaction with gateway's interface, payment will be processed. In the process, your customer might get redirected to authenticate against 3D Secure system of his card issuer bank (this depends on settings of his card and your account). After that, payer will be taken to success_redirect or failure_redirect depending on the payment result (as in the usual payment flow).

Be aware, though, that while not having to process card data allows you not to comply with the entirety of PCI DSS SAQ D requirements, having sensitive cardholder data entry form on your website does raise your PCI DSS scope to SAQ A-EP. Contact your account manager to receive advisory and assistance for this integration method.

Maximum length: 500
marked_as_paid
boolean

True if a purchase was manually marked as paid.

order_id
string
