- settle the payment with some test money from your Barion Wallet.
Prerequisites

3. Start the Postman Desktop agent, and make a POST call to https://api.test.barion.com/v2/payment/start, passing the following JSON in the request body: Replace the POSKey and the Transactions/Payee as indicated.
{
"POSKey": "[the POSKey you've just copied]",
"PaymentType": "Immediate",
"PaymentRequestId": "DEV-TEST-615",
"FundingSources": ["All"],
"OrderNumber": "Order_01",
"RedirectUrl": "https://example.com/",
"Currency": "EUR",
"Locale":"en-US",
"GuestCheckOut": true,
"PaymentWindow":"00:30:00",
"Transactions": [
{
"POSTransactionId": "DEV-TEST-01-01",
"Payee": "[the email address associated with the Barion shop]",
"Total": 100,
"Comment": "Test transaction",
