Managing Debit Authorization

Enable and manage autopay limits through the SynchPay API using the Debit Auth endpoints.

Overview

To enable seamless payments through SynchPay, you can allow users to authorize recurring charges up to a defined limit. This is managed through the Debit Auth API endpoints, which allow you to check, set, and update the user’s authorized debit limit.

How It Works

1. Obtain an Access Token

   Before calling any Debit Auth endpoints, secure an access token by making a POST request to /auth/token using your ClientId and ClientSecret.

2. Check Current Limit

   Use the GET /user/{registrationId}/debitauth endpoint to retrieve the current auto-debit authorization status and the active limit, if any.

3. Set Initial Limit

   If the user has not authorized any auto-debits yet, initiate the setup by sending a POST request to /user/{registrationId}/debitauth with the desired limit.
