Boarding via the API

1. Create a Merchant with a Barclaycard processing path

{
  "processingPaths": [
    {
      "currencies": [
        "GBP"
      ],
      "schemes": [
        "VISA",
        "VISAELECTRON",
        "V_PAY",
        "MASTER",
        "MAESTRO"
      ],
      "details": {
        "institute": "BARCLAYCARD_HISO",
        "country": "GB",
        "sortCode": "123456",
        "merchantId": "123456",
        "merchantAcceptorName": "Barclaycard Merchant",
        "merchantAcceptorCity": "London"
      },
      "name": "Default processing",
      "active": true
    }
  ],
  "name": "Test Merchant",
  "readers": [
    
  ],
  "details": {
    "publicName": "Barclaycard Sample",
    "address": "Street 1",
    "zip": "12345",
    "city": "London",
    "country": "GB",
    "contact": "123456",
	"additionalInformation": "VAT Number: 123456"
  }
}

Please pay special attention to those parameters:

$.name

Make sure to specify a unique (internal) name for each merchant that you create.

$.details

Finally, for the payment receipts, you need to provide some information about the merchant, including Public Name, Address and a Contact Phone Number/Email Address.

You will receive a merchantIdentifier after successfully creating the merchant:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "data": {
    	/*...*/
        "identifier": "74b47dcd-45b0-4c65-a4d1-afd4aae32708",
        "name": "Test Merchant"
		/*...*/
    }
}

2. Generate the Merchant Secret Key

Next you can generate a Merchant Secret Key for the Merchant via the API:

{
	"permissions": ["READER_MANAGEMENT","TRANSACTIONS"]
}

You will receive the Merchant Secret Key in the response:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "data": {
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "key": "9pCcTI2mzUbLKoCdezVBowhv0b6gGwoo"
    }
}

Optional: 3. Find the reader you want to assign to the merchant

The platform keeps track of all the readers that you have purchased. In order to assign a reader to the new merchant you have created in Step 1, you must know its readerIdentifier. Use this API to find the readerIdentifier of a reader based on its serial number (e.g. 999-100001):

You will receive the readerIdentifier in the response:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "data": [{
    	/*...*/
        "identifier": "0665ede3-3990-4c9b-beac-77abfeda5858",
        "model": "MIURA_M010",
        "details": {
            "serialNo": "999100001"
            /*...*/
        }
    }]
}

Optional: 4. Assign the reader to new merchant

Based on the merchantIdentifier from Step 1 and the readerIdentifier from Step 3, you can now assign the reader to the merchant:
