Payment Application API

Information about Channex Payment Application API

Introduction

The Payment Application is a new and safe way for a PMS connected with Channex to charge payments through Stripe API without the headache of PCI DSS and handling credit cards. Once the Payment App is installed and configured you will be able to charge cards through Channex API directly to the properties Stripe account. We charge a small fee to the connected Stripe account each time a card is charged.

Application Installation and Configuration

Install the Payment Application

To Install the Payment Application you should send an application installation request:

POST /api/v1/applications

Payload:
{
    "application_installation": {
        "property_id": "{{PROPERTY_ID}}",
        "application_code": "channex_payments"
    }
}

Response:
{
    "data": [
        {
            "attributes": {
                "id": "12ca008c-95e9-4668-942a-d255b618c00e",
                "settings": null,
                "property_id": "c19a05af-8c8c-4754-8c8a-8132845d4cac",
                "application_id": "8587fbf6-a6d1-46f8-8c12-074273284917",
                "application_code": "channex_messages"
            },

            "type": "application_installation"
        }
    ]
}

For more information about this API look here Applications API.

Application configuration

The next step is the Application Configuration. At this step you should connect the property Stripe Account to the Channex Payments app.

To setup Stripe connection, you should go over oAuth process, it can be triggered from the Channex user interface or via API.

Initiate oAuth connection

Send a request to connect:

POST /api/v1/applications/payment_app/{{installation_id}}/connect

Payload:
{
  "provider": "stripe",
  "title": "Custom Title For Provider",
  "redirect_url": "HTTPS Endpoint at your side to handle redirect"
}

Response:
{
  "data": {
    "link": "STRIPE_OAUTH_LINK"
  }
}

When you receive a response, you should redirect User to received data.link URL.

User will go over the connection pipeline and be redirected to the provided Redirect URL.

Get Application Info API

}
