The following is a guide on how you're able to use the Card Processing API to accept payments within your application.

Please reach out to the sales team to enable this feature within your account.
1. Create Wallet Order Reservation
After getting all set up, you'll need to create a Wallet Order Reservation ID for a wallet order. This allows you to lock in the details for the order in an immutable way from your server before taking in payment details.
The generated reservation wallet order ID may only be used once. If the order fails, the ID will become unusable. Any callbacks issued on behalf of the order will use the same order ID, so it can be useful for correlating Wyre order to data in your own database. Reservations are good for one hour. Learn more about Wallet Order Reservations.
2. Create Wallet Order
Process the payment with the Card Processing API by using the Create Wallet Order endpoint.
Use the returned reservation
from step #1 as the reservationId
param for card processing.
3. Get Order ID and Auth Codes
After you've created the order, you will receive the id
of the order in the response. Also note the status
and authCodesRequested
parameters.
{
"id":"WO_PQAG8JHTA2F",
"createdAt":1595539060000,
"owner":"account:AC_RW4FHEJPCHW",
"status":"RUNNING_CHECKS",
"orderType":"INTERNATIONAL",
"sourceAmount":10.0,
"purchaseAmount":9.31,
"sourceCurrency":"USD",
"destCurrency":"BTC",
"transferId":null,
"dest":"bitcoin:tb1q6yn0ajs733xsk25vefrhwjey4629qt9c67y6ma",
"email":"[email protected]",
"authCodesRequested":false,
"paymentMethodName":"Visa ending 1111",
"accountId":"AC_RW4FHEJPCHW"
}
4. Check Auth Code Requirements
While the order status = RUNNING_CHECKS
and authCodesRequested
is true, poll the Get Authorization endpoint to determine which auth codes are required.
Auth Codes Checks
When the wallet order status is different than
RUNNING_CHECKS
the Get Authorization endpoint (smsNeeded
andcard2faNeeded
) should be ignored.
{
"walletOrderId":"WO_9PUXWLZD888",
"smsNeeded":true,
"card2faNeeded":true
}
5. Posting Authorization Codes
- Wyre requires two authentication codes if
authCodesRequested
is true : - CARD2FA - A 6 digit code that's added immediately to the end user's bank account. This code is usually displayed under
Temporary Authorizations
in the user's bank or credit card account online. - SMS - A 6 digit code sent to the user's mobile device.
You will need to confirm the codes that are requested. If the Authentication codes are not provided, the order will expire - the current expiration time is 10 minutes. When building your UI, you need to make it a real-time experience.
The GET request is only available until codes are still valid. After that, if you try to get authorization information in this endpoint we throw an error, check Card Exceptions. The current limit of attempts to specify the code is 5 times. After this, you will receive back an error and the order will expire.
You must provide the codes back in the following Submit Authorization endpoint:
{
"type":"SMS",
"walletOrderId":"WO_Y74E8FXVWJ2",
"reservation":"NHEA3UYXEXCUX4Y2HG78",
"sms":"000000",
"card2fa":"000000"
}
The node type
must be either SMS
, CARD2FA
or ALL
. When SMS
the node sms
is mandatory, when CARD2FA
the node card2fa
is mandatory, when ALL
both sms
and card2fa
are mandatory.
Response
{
"walletOrderId":"WO_DX6B3UAVN8B",
"success":true
}
When any code failed due to any reason (max attempts, time expiration...) the order will also fail and card refunded. Failed orders cannot be resumed. These codes' needs might change at any time and based on the buyer's info.
6. Verify Order Authorization
Keep polling Get Wallet Order until the order's status is PROCESSING
or COMPLETE
.
This is a publicly accessible endpoint:
https://api.sendwyre.com/v3/orders/:orderId
You can also receive updates via Webhooks, contact our sales team at [email protected] to set up your webhook configuration.
7. Track Wallet Order
Once the transferId
is returned it means the order was accepted and the transfer (blockchain transaction) is in progress.
To track its progress please check the transfer tracking documentation here: Track Wallet Order
Wyre Referral Agreement
Your application should allow end users the ability to accept Wyre's User Agreement during the checkout process. This can function as a checkbox with a link to the agreement.
Example:
☑️I accept Wyre's User Agreement.
If you would like to build your custom checkout flow using the API, but keep your PCI compliance requirements limited to the minimal level, Wyre's Card Processing API is the ideal solution. Like all of our cards products, Wyre only supports Debit Cards from MasterCard and Visa at the moment. If you'd like Credit Card supported, please reach out to our sales team at [email protected].
Limitations and Considerations
There are certain limitations on the types of cards that can be processed. We currently process through the Visa and Mastercard networks only.
We cannot process:
- Pre-Paid Debit or Gift Cards
- Cards issued by a neo/virtual bank
- Unsupported networks
There are also additional considerations for processing credit cards vs. debit cards. Many credit card issuers will consider crypto purchases the same as a cash advance. The issuing bank may charge your user additional cash advance fees for their crypto purchases through Wyre. You may want to limit processing to debit cards only, or fully disclose the possibility of additional fees levied by the credit card issuer.
Errors
View the list of Card Exceptions. The Get Wallet Order Full endpoint is also a source for providing error messaging related to a particular order.
