Card payments run through the team's connected payment gateway and charge real money. They are built for YoPrint's own payment screens, which collect the card with the provider's browser library: the card token or confirmation in the body comes from that library.
Completes a card payment and records it on the order. charge_it_pro answers status pending with poll_id (its internal_id) and poll_token, and YoPrint records the payment when the sale finishes, checking the provider in the background. Every other gateway records the payment now and answers status success, with poll_id and poll_token as empty strings.
The path segment shown as {payment_reference} is the gateway name here. {payment_gateway} is the gateway: stripe, square, square_v2, paypal, authorize_net or charge_it_pro. {hash_id} is the order's id (for example V4keXwwxMQyXw7); the ord_ unique key is not accepted here.
Business rules
locking_tokenandorder_idare required, plus the gateway's own field.- For
square,square_v2(exceptsquare_tokencash),paypalandauthorize_net,amountis checked before the provider is called, so nothing is charged when it fails: it is required as a whole number of thousandths. The amount to charge, less anysurcharge, must be at least 1.00 in the order's currency: otherwise 422payment_below_minimum("Enter at least USD 1.00.", with the order's currency code), anderror.payment_amount_policygivescurrency,minimum_payment(a decimal pair,{ "value": "1000", "dp": 3 }) andminimum_remaining_balance(null). A negativesurchargeis 422payment_surcharge_invalid("The payment surcharge cannot be negative."). The provider's own limits still apply. square_v2records the payment only when Square answersCOMPLETED; any other Square status is 422payment_capture_failed.charge_it_prorefuses a pending payment that isn't this order's, or that belongs to a Customer Portal payment: 422payment_capture_failed"Payment Failure: We cannot find the pending payment record".- A payment the provider already recorded is refused: "Transaction Already Processed".
- The order must be published, but YoPrint checks only when it records the payment, after the provider has charged: on a draft order the charge goes through and the answer is 422 "Payment Action Not Allowed - due to order internal state". Publish first.
Side effects
- Moves money
square,square_v2,authorize_netandpaypalcapture the charge here (real money moves); forstripethe browser already confirmed the charge, and this call checks and records it. - Records the payment and updates the order, invoices and customer totals. Customer Portal pages the order's customer has open refresh.
- Sends the
payment_received.any_amountwebhook; alsopayment_received.deposit_amountwhen the order's paid total now exactly equals its deposit amount, andpayment_received.full_amountwhen the balance due (invoiced total minus paid) is now exactly 0. A payment that goes past the deposit, or overpays, sends neither of those two. - A dispute the provider later reports on a
stripe,paypalorsquare_v2payment freezes it: refunds and moves to customer credit are refused until the provider decides (see Refund a card payment).

Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).403You are not allowed to do this.
api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.404Not found.
page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's.code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.- When
- An unknown
{payment_gateway}or order (page_not_foundor "No query results for …"). - Fix
- Use one of the gateway names.
422The request was refused and changed nothing.
validation_failedlists what to fix inerror.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained inerror.message. A few checks answer with only{"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_timeout("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.- When
square_v2without a Square v2 connection (gateway_not_setup),squarewhen the team's old Square connection is switched off (using_deprecated_old_square_gateway), a missing gateway field, the provider refused (for examplepayment_capture_failed), or a Shopify order deleted in Shopify (shopify_order_deleted_externally).- Fix
- Connect the gateway in Settings and send its fields.
- When
amountis missing or not a whole number (validation_failed), less than 1.00 after the surcharge (payment_below_minimum), or the surcharge is negative (payment_surcharge_invalid). Nothing is charged.- Fix
