Payment Initiation

These endpoints allow TPP to initiate a payment from one of the payment accounts of a Holvi customer.

After initiating a payment, the customer must complete the payment verification process by performing Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) on their phone. You can poll the payment state, upon verification the state will change to verified.

Note

All these endpoints require authentication, see the authentication documentation for the full list of headers required for these endpoints.
