Take payments

October 29, 2024

Accept payments with a POS terminal from your point of sale through Cloud Terminal API. Cloud Terminal API allows you to send requests to an Ultra P terminal from any compatible application to process a payment.

With Cloud Terminal API you can control your operation from your system and use a terminal as a peripheral (pinpad) to read the card information to process a payment.

Request data model

These are all the parameters you can configure when making a request.

Operations

Discover all the operations available through Cloud Terminal API integrations.

Sale

The sales process begins when a customer wants to purchase a product or service at your establishment through a physical or digital payment method. During the process, your point of sale system sends a payment request with the necessary configuration to the payment application, which communicates with the terminal in a secure way to read, encrypt and send your customer’s credit or debit card information to Kushki to be processed. You will receive the response to the request in the payment application. If the transaction has been successfully authorized, the authorized amount will be deducted from your customer’s account immediately and will subsequently be settled to your bank account according to the settlement process. In case of an error, you will get more information in the payment app and the request can be retried again with a valid payment method.

Send a request with the payment configuration from your point of sale system to the endpoint Collect card payments to perform a sales operation.

Deferred payments

Increase your customers’ average purchase amount at your establishment by offering the option to defer payment over a fixed number of installments. The transaction must meet certain requirements in order to be deferred. Review the requirements with your account manager.

To defer a payment, enable the option within the payment app settings and select the desired option during the checkout process.

Please review the Cloud Terminal API Reference for more detailed information.
