Create a Payment Intent

Explore a full, working code sample of a Payment integration with our Application Programming Interface (API). This documentation will outline the basic steps of creating a payment intent for the order before creating it. With your program set up in our production environment, it will be ready for live testing. When successful testing is completed, real Payments can be created.

Once you submit to the API, you can see the accounts in the UI at policypay.io by logging in with your given credentials.

You can see all the available REST methods via our Swagger at rest.policypay.io or uat-rest.policypay.io
