⚠️
Note
Before initiating payments, ensure cloud mode is enabled. See features.
Cloud POS payments are not designed for on-device integrations.
Avoid using Cloud POS for native applications running on the same device.
Instead, use the on-device applications flow.

How to initiate payments

Enable cloud mode

Enable cloud mode on your device. To learn how to enable this setting, see Cloud Mode - Features.

Create an order

In your backend, create an order and include the parameters mentioned in the request. Always include the terminal_id of the device where you want to process the payment.

The terminal_id parameter is required for cloud mode orders. To find your terminal ID, access your MultiSafepay payment app, go to Features, and click About. You will find it next to TID.

curl --request POST \
     --url 'https://testapi.multisafepay.com/v1/json/orders?api_key=YOUR_GROUP_API_KEY' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "type": "redirect",
  "order_id": "test-663",
  "gateway": "",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "amount": 100,
  "description": "Test Order Kiosk Description",

  },
  "gateway_info": {

  }
}'

Native applications (App-to-app)

Native applications let you initiate payments from your app to the MultiSafepay payment app on the same device.

This diagram shows a successful native application payment flow. Click to magnify.

How to initiate payments

For native integrations, we provide an Android integration using Android Intents .

Your application sends a payment request via an Intent, which is handled by the MultiSafepay app. Once the transaction is processed, the user is redirected back to your app with a callback containing the payment result.

Possible statuses:

Completed
Canceled

See the integration guide:
MultiSafepay Android POS integration
