Auth | Clearpay Documentation

This endpoint requests a payment auth, which determines the order approval status. If approved, the auth will have an expiration date and time, which is returned in the events list for the “AUTH_APPROVED” payment event.

Note

This operation is idempotent based on the requestId (if provided), which allows for the safe retry of multiple requests, guaranteeing the payment operation is only performed once.

Note

The consumer’s payment plan begins at the time of auth approval.

Beware

Authorisation expires after 13 days and then the transaction is automatically voided. Voided transactions are frozen and cannot be reopened or changed in any way. In this case your only option is to use the v2/checkouts endpoint to create a new order.

Approved Response (201)

If payment is approved by Clearpay, returns a Payment object in response, with a status of “APPROVED” and a paymentState of “AUTH_APPROVED”.

Declined Response (402)

If payment is declined by Clearpay, for example, if invalid card details were entered, returns a Payment object in response, with a status of “DECLINED” and a paymentState of “AUTH_DECLINED”.

Please advise the consumer to contact the Clearpay Customer Service team for more information.
