}Example Descriptions
Create basic ECP transaction with payer info
This example shows a basic create ECP Transaction request, including the minimum required fields to process an ACH/ECP transaction with basic information about the shopper.
For all ACH transactions, you must obtain permission from the shopper to debit their account, for example by showing a checkbox with the following wording on your checkout page. "I authorize this Electronic Check (ACH) transaction and agree to this debit of my account."
Include the authorizedByShopper element with the value set to true to indicate that you have obtained the shopper's permission.
Create ECP transaction with vaulted shopper
To perform a Create ECP Transaction with an existing vaulted shopper (with saved ECP account details), you'll need to include the vaultedShopperId property within the altTransaction resource in your request.
Above is an example of a Create ECP Transaction request with an existing vaulted shopper with the ID 19563598. When you use a vaulted shopper, the ecpTransaction property can be left empty, as shown in the example.
Create ECP transaction with Merchant Transaction ID
You may wish to assign your own ID to each transaction, for example in order to track the transactions in your own internal systems. To do this, you will need to include the merchantTransactionId property within the altTransaction resource in your request.
Create ECP transaction with Vendor Info
This example shows a Create ECP transaction request within a marketplace. If you are a marketplace merchant, you will include vendorInfo in the request to process a transaction between a shopper and a specific vendor within your marketplace (see vendorInfo).
In the above example request, only the required vendorId is included in the vendorInfo container. By leaving out the commissionPercent property, the transaction will default to the value set during the creation of the vendor.
