Router Transactions Endpoint

The router transaction endpoint is used to process transaction when the merchant has a terminal. This drastically simplifies the process of running transactions through a terminal.

By using a terminal router, the process to run a transaction through a terminal is now down to one step. Simply send the transaction request to the /v2/routertransactions endpoint and the API does the rest. The https request will need to remain open for up to 300 seconds while the terminal is processing the transaction. Once the terminal has completed processing the transaction, the router transaction request will then return the transaction data.

Mock Terminal

In order to help speed the development cycle, we have a feature called mock terminal. What this means is the we can create a virtual device for you to use for all of your terminal testing. This helps speed the development process in a number of ways:

You don't have to wait days for a terminal to arrive to begin development
Various API responses can easily be tested by sending different dollar amounts
The ability to test different types of transactions from different types of terminals is possible without having to order multiple terminals

In order to test different scenarios with a terminal, please visit the test data page to see how different dollar amounts can product different terminal transaction results.
