First request to Corefy API (MIN)
What it does: creates a payment-invoice; card data itself is collected and submitted separately by Corefy's checkout/SDK layer, not as part of this request. Crederes may return a 3D Secure challenge redirect depending on the card.

customer is entirely optional - anything you don't send falls back to the Constants below, or is simply left blank on Crederes's side.
Note
If customer.metadata.website_url isn't sent, Crederes falls back to your merchant account's own profile website (if one is set).
Extended request (MAX)
Why add extra fields (typical reasons): - Provide additional customer details for compliance/reconciliation - Positively influence conversion rate - Include optional fields required by your specific flow
Options
ignore_callback-> optional, boolean - for cascading to work correctly, excludes finalizing the payment from the asynchronous callback; Corefy then relies only on an active status request (reconciliation) to finalize it.extended_threeds_data_waiting_time-> optional, boolean - extends the waiting time for receiving 3D Secure authentication data.pending_refunds_on_invalid_response-> optional, boolean - when disabled (default), an invalid response from Crederes during a refund sets the refund toERROR/PROVIDER_ERROR; when enabled, the same response instead sets it toPENDING/OK, reported as "the refund has not yet been processed on the provider's side."prioritize_cardholder-> optional, boolean - by default,customer.nametakes priority over the card's own embossed name for the first/last name sent to Crederes; enable this to prioritize the card's embossed name instead.
Constants (fallback fields)
Constants are static values that Corefy can send to the provider instead of dynamic data from your API request, when those fields are missing in the request.
Priority (predictable rule): 1. If a value is present in the request -> Corefy uses the request value 2. Else if the constant is set -> Corefy uses the constant 3. Else -> provider may reject the request or apply its defaults (depends on provider)
Currently available constants (constant -> Corefy API field)
FIRST_NAME->customer.name(first part)LAST_NAME->customer.name(second part)EMAIL->customer.emailPHONE->customer.phoneDATE_OF_BIRTH->customer.date_of_birthCOUNTRY->customer.address.countryREGION->customer.address.regionCITY->customer.address.cityPOST_CODE->customer.address.post_codeADDRESS_LINE_1/ADDRESS_LINE_2->customer.address.street
Refunds
Crederes supports partial and multiple refunds against the same payment.

What it does: creates a payout-invoice and sends funds directly to a card.
Payout - MIN
POST /api/payout-invoices
{
"data": {

customer is entirely optional - everything is only forwarded to Crederes as recipient details.
Extended request (MAX)
Why add extra fields (typical reasons): - Provide additional customer details for compliance/reconciliation - Positively influence conversion rate - Include optional fields required by your specific flow
No Options or Constants are configured for this flow.
Additional info
- Callback routing is automatic - Corefy generates the callback/return URLs per transaction, nothing to configure in Crederes's own back-office.
FAQ / Troubleshooting
- Invalid credentials / auth error -> verify the credentials for the selected account type and environment - H2H Merchant account and Provider account use entirely different credential sets
- Refund stuck as pending after an invalid response -> this is expected if
pending_refunds_on_invalid_responseis enabled; disable it if you'd rather see a hard error instead - Currency or service is not supported -> confirm allowed currencies/features in your Crederes account and in Corefy
