Below is a dictionary overview of our API Endpoints with a brief description of the features we offer.

​
Creating a Checkout Object

The below endpoints describe the process of a customer making a payment through Magic’s checkout.

​
Creating a Checkout ID

  • Create a checkout object using the “merchants/checkout” POST API.
  • A successful creation will result in a status code of 200 or 201.
  • In the API response, you will receive a checkout object ID, which plays a pivotal role in tracking specific checkout transactions.
  • Don’t forget to set “is_subscription” to true in the checkout object to enable consumer user subscriptions.

​
Authenticate Consumer Users

To ensure user authenticity, employ the following APIs:
  • send_code API: Validate and send a verification code to the user’s phone number.
  • verify_code API: Verify the received verification code, resulting in a 200 response and an authentication token.
After authenticating the user, use the “generate_link_token” API to:
  • Register the merchant user on Dwolla.
  • Store the token obtained in the success response for future reference.

Our API Endpoints

Here’s a summary of the essential API endpoints in this integration:

​
Creating a Checkout ID

  • Create a checkout object using the “merchants/checkout” POST API.
  • Successful creation results in a status code of 200 or 201.
  • Receive a checkout object ID in the response.
  • Set “is_subscription” to true for consumer user subscriptions.

​
Authenticate Consumer Users

  • Use the “send_code” API to validate and send verification codes to user phone numbers.
  • Employ the “verify_code” API to verify the received codes and obtain an authentication token.
  • Use the “generate_link_token” API to register merchant users on Dwolla.
  • Store the obtained token for future use.
To register consumer users on Dwolla, you can create a link token using the “create_link_token” API. Once consumer users are registered on Dwolla, it’s time to link their payment methods to your checkout object. Utilize the “exchange_public_token” API for this purpose.

​
Initiate Transaction

For initiating transactions, utilize the “get_processor_token” API, which consists of three internal parts:
  1. Get Processor Token from Plaid for Dwolla
  2. Add Funding Source on Dwolla for Customer Bank Account
  3. Initiate A2A Transfer and Store Transfer Information in Checkout Object

​
Refund Request

Consumer users have the ability to create refund requests using the “consumer_refund_request” API.

​
Merchant Response on Refund Request

Merchants play a pivotal role in the refund process by approving or rejecting refund requests through the “merchant_status_refund_request” API.

​
Initiate Refund

After a merchant approval of a refund request, you can efficiently transfer funds from the merchant’s account to the consumer’s account using the “initiate_refund_transfer” API. This comprehensive integration process ensures a smooth payment experience, covering everything from user authentication to refunds.
