Create a PaymentIntent

A PaymentIntent is an object that represents your intent to collect payment from your customer and tracks the lifecycle of the payment process. Create a PaymentIntent on your server and specify the amount to collect and a supported currency. If you have an existing Payment Intents integration, add bancontact to the list of payment method types.

Next step

You can add more features to your integration as needed

Create a Webhook

Listen to events on your WooshPay account so your integration can automatically trigger reactions. Create a webhook that mainly focuses on enabled_events and url.

Create a Refund

Create a refund to repay funds to your customer. You can also perform partial refunds, but not every payment method supports them. A partial refund is when you refund only part of the original transaction amount.
