4. Authorize a Transaction - Quick Start Guide

Transactions which are authorized will be settled by the card networks by default in the Live environment.

In the Sandbox, this is simulated via our /simulate/clearing endpoint. This endpoint will trigger the settlement of a transaction.

Code

curl --location 'https://sandbox.lithic.com/v1/simulate/clearing' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: e65e2478-f516-4c9d-af36-7d1ebc5414fd' \
--data '{
  "amount": 3831,
  "token": "408f63aa-fb26-408e-bcd1-ed3b620a29f8"
}'
