HTTP Basic Authentication

For the requests, you will need to supply authentication credentials, using the HTTP Basic authentication (HTTP basic authentication requires an encoded HTTP header). The authentication credentials are your public key and secret key. Almost all web frameworks will provide a mechanism for supplying HTTP basic authentication credentials per the standard HTTP basic authentication header. See the following articles below for more information

HTTP Basic Authentication (Wikipedia)
HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication (Specification)

Request Payment

1. Request Payment

Once a payment request is initiated successfully, the payer is notified by the platform (this can be suppressed) and can proceed to authorise/execute the payment.
