Managing payment methods

Learn how to manage payment methods in a cart.

Getting the available payment methods for the cart

To offer various payment options for customers, it's crucial to retrieve the available payment methods for the cart. This guide will walk you through accessing these methods using the Commerce API. By following the instructions below, you can easily integrate this functionality into your application and enhance the checkout experience for your users.

To get the available payment methods for your cart, send a GET /v1/shoppers/me/carts/active/payment-methods request and include {Your_API_Key} in the header. Here's an example using cURL:

cURL

curl --location -g --request GET ' https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/carts/active/payment-methods' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic {Your_API_Key}' \
...

200 OK response

A successful response will return a JSON object with the available payment methods and related information. See the query parameters for more information.

To add an organization identifier to a cart, send a POST /shoppers/me/carts/active request. Include {Your_API_Key} in the header and the organizationId field in the request payload. The organizationId will be passed to the payment session to make specific payment methods available. Here's an example using cURL:

cURL

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.digitalriver.com/shoppers/me/carts/active' \
--header 'Content-Type:  application/json' \
--header 'authorization: Basic  {Your_API_Key}\
--data-raw '{
	"cart": {
			"organizationId": "Acme_Inc",
			"lineItems": {
					"lineItem":
							{
									"quantity": "1",
									"product": {
											"id": "5326162000"
									}
							}
			}
		}
}'

200 OK response

A successful request returns a 200 OK response with the updated organizationId in the cart. See the Update the current cart for more information.

To remove an organization identifier from the cart, send a POST /shoppers/me/carts/active request. Include {Your_API_Key} in the header. Set the organizationId field to an empty string in the request payload. This will delete the organization identifier from the cart, resulting in a 200 OK response if successful.
