Initiate a Push to Wallet payment

In this tutorial, you learn how to initiate a Push to Wallet payment.

Before you begin

To initiate a Push to Wallet payment, you need the following:

Send a request

From your command line, send a POST request to the /payments endpoint.

For example, the following code snippet contains a cURL command that initiates a Push to Wallet payment that uses a PayPal email address. It also contains the command's payload formatted in JSON so that it's easier to see.

Example of a request to initiate a Push to Wallet payment that uses a PayPal email address

  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Confirm the response

Confirm that you receive a response that contains an endToEndId and a paymentId. You can use these values later to get the status and details of a Push to Wallet payment. 

For example, the following code snippet contains a response to the previous cURL command to initiate a Push to Wallet payment that uses a PayPal email address. It's formatted in JSON so that it's easier to see.
