Make a Payment

To enable custom payment flows, the required payment channel can be selected by setting the channel attribute to one of the following combinations:

• ["new_payments_platform"] - for faster payments 24/7/365
• ["direct_entry"] - for slower traditional payments
• ["new_payments_platform", "direct_entry"] - enables automatic channel switching if a payment fails on the NPP

We strongly recommend supplying an Idempotency-Key header when performing this request to ensure you can safely retry the action in case of an issue. If a header value is omitted or is different to one provided previously, we will be treating a request as a new operation which may lead to duplicate payments. To understand more on how to make idempotent requests, please refer to our Idempotent requests guide.
