NB. If no applications are returned in the response configuration, you will need to contact the administrator of the usergroup and request the necessary configuration changes to be made to the respective user.


Application list

You will need to select only one of the applications returned.
The application id, certificate id and mode will be used when performing a transaction to the gateway. The description is returned for display use only and not when performing the transaction

NB: You cannot simply switch to mode test using an application id received for mode live. You will need to download the configuration each time you change between test and live.

Permissions list

The permissions returned in the list relate to the transaction types that the user can perform using the REST API. If the “Allowed” value for any of the transaction types is set to “false”, that transaction option should not be presented to the user.

In all cases irrespective of the allowed transaction types, the void transaction type is allowed.

/api/transactions
