Services
Under services you find several calls that can be used to support your payment flow:
- Test your connection to us
- Convert an amount from one currency to another
- Convert between different bank account notations
- Retrieve the card type and country where the card was issued based on the IIN of the card
- Retrieve the ARN (Acquirer Reference Number), RRN (Retrieval Reference Number), Amount and Currency for a payment
Request
Using the convert amount API you can ask us to convert an amount from one currency into another currency. We will use the rate set configured for your account to perform the conversion.
All amount properties in our API are in cents with each amount having 2 decimals, regardless of the actual decimal places the currency has. So JPY has no decimals in it currency, but you will need to add two zeros as cents.
