Payment initiated by the Merchant

The use of an alias when creating an order allows to execute payments initiated by the Merchant (“Merchant Initiated Transaction”): the payment is made without interaction with the cardholder.

This functionality can be useful in the case of recurring payments.

For this, create a payment by token (see chapter Payment by token), then use the execute-mit link returned by the server.

For example:

Request

POST https://secure.lyra.com/marketplace/orders?expand=items

Body

{
  "marketplace": "ebfb36ab-2d30-4326-adb9-e16b0c9a89f3",
  "reference": "MKP BURO example",
  "description": "Office supplies order",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "alias": "1144951ea7ab42989c97159b3dfc0382",
  ...
}

In the sever response, the links attribute contains the execute-mit link to be called.

{...
 "links": {
  "execute-mit": {
  "href": "http://mymarketplace.com/marketplace/orders/5a439e70-4ccc-4d86-bf30-223552e2c74f/execute-mit"
 },
…
}
