Server to Server Integration
Overview
Cashonrails provides server-to-server (S2S) APIs for direct payment processing. While our Inline Checkout and Standard Checkout options offer quick integration, S2S gives you complete control over the payment experience.
Why Use Server to Server?
- Custom UI: Design your own payment interface
- Full Control: Manage the entire payment flow
- Direct Integration: Process payments directly from your server
- Enhanced Security: Implement additional security measures
- Flexible Implementation: Support for multiple payment methods
How It Works
1. Initiate Payment
From your server, send a request with:
- Transaction amount
- Customer details
- Payment information
- Currency (NGN)
2. Process Payment
Cashonrails handles:
- Payment authorization
- Security verification
- Transaction processing
3. Verify Transaction
Always verify the payment status:
curl -X GET {{baseurl}}/transaction/verify/{reference} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY"Available Payment Methods
