Create a checkout

POST/checkouts

Create a checkout session for a one-time stablecoin payment. Returns a checkout_url to redirect the customer to the hosted payment page. Direct payments require a signatures array whose shared deploy deadline is at least 30 minutes ahead; two-step payments need no signature at creation, accept an optional expires_at, and when it is omitted expire two hours after creation, or after the fiat-settlement window for a fiat-settled checkout.

Headers

Header	Description	Required
Authorization	Bearer token with your secret API key	yes

Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
amount	integer	yes	Amount in the currency's minor units (5000 is 50.00 USD). At most 9007199254740991.
currency	string	yes	ISO 4217 currency of `amount`, which is in its minor units (cents for USD, centavos for ARS; CLP has no minor unit, so CLP 15,000 is 15000). Crypto-settled businesses price in USD and ARS, and test businesses also in BRL, COP, UYU, CLP, VES, MXN and BOB. Fiat-settled businesses price in their settlement currency.
description	string	—
success_url	string	—	Where to redirect the customer after a successful payment. Automatic countdown redirect and the primary CTA on the completed screen.
cancel_url	string	—	Where to redirect the customer if the checkout was actually cancelled. Also used on the expired/failed terminal screens.
return_url	string	—	Where to send the customer if they leave a still-pending checkout. Purely navigational — no side effects. Distinct from cancel_url (the checkout was actually cancelled) and success_url (the post-payment confirmation destination).
customer_email	string · email	—
metadata	object	—	Flat map of merchant-defined references. Up to 50 keys; keys up to 40 characters; values are strings up to 500 characters (nested values are rejected).
