  • To migrate your user's bank accounts and provide payee details for your existing user, initiate a request to create a virtual bank account
  • Include existing merchant_refand userApiTokenin the body parameters

❗️

Failure to include the existing merchant_refand user_api_tokenwill result in the bank accounts not being migrated.

  • After successfully retrieving the virtual account, bank accounts will be migrated and associated to your user's customer profile.
  • Retrieve the your user bank accounts to verify if they have been migrated.
curl --request GET \
     --url https://sandbox.xfers.io/api/v3/customer_profile/customer_profile_08d5ffe5-8a02-4dc2-aabb-9057b8ab3c65/bank_accounts \
     --header 'accept: application/json'

Step 4 — Add callback URL

On a successful completion of a deposit transaction, StraitsX will send a callback notification to you via a callback URL indicated on the StraitsX Business Dashboard.

Adding a callback URL in sandbox mode

📘

Add the callback URL on the dashboard to receive a callback when the transaction has been completed.

curl --location --request PUT 'https://sandbox.xfers.io/api/v3/sandbox/customer_profile/customer_profile_08d5ffe5-8a02-4dc2-aabb-9057b8ab3c65/bank_accounts/?verification_status=verified' \
--header 'X-XFERS-APP-API-KEY: t4wsjxpwtk6o9tz20j4baj4ifwibin100py1vrvfsqh'
  • In the sandbox environment, you can make a mock bank transfer by initiating a mock bank transfer payment.
  • Input a name under source_bank_account_holder_name to test if the sender name is matched correctly to your user's name.
