Payments - Create

**Creates a payment object when amount and currency are passed.**

This API is also used to create a mandate by passing the `mandate_object`.

Depending on the user journey you wish to achieve, you may opt to complete all the steps in a single request **by attaching a payment method, setting `confirm=true` and `capture_method = automatic`** in the *Payments/Create API* request.

Otherwise, To completely process a payment you will have to **create a payment, attach a payment method, confirm and capture funds**. For that you could use the following sequence of API requests -

1. Payments - Create

2. Payments - Update

3. Payments - Confirm

4. Payments - Capture.

You will require the 'API - Key' from the Hyperswitch dashboard to make the first call, and use the 'client secret' returned in this API along with your 'publishable key' to make subsequent API calls from your client.

This page lists the various combinations in which the Payments - Create API can be used and the details about the various fields in the requests and responses.

Payments - Create

Payments - Update

To update the properties of a *PaymentIntent* object. This may include attaching a payment method, or attaching customer object or metadata fields after the Payment is created

Payments - Update

Payments - Confirm

**Use this API to confirm the payment and forward the payment to the payment processor.**

Alternatively you can confirm the payment within the *Payments/Create* API by setting `confirm=true`. After confirmation, the payment could either:

1. fail with `failed` status or

2. transition to a `requires_customer_action` status with a `next_action` block or

3. succeed with either `succeeded` in case of automatic capture or `requires_capture` in case of manual capture
