Transfers
Topics covered on this page
Requirement
You must meet the following requirement to create a transfer:
- There must be over 30 THB in your available balance.
Recipient
Default recipient
By default, a recipient is created for you once you sign up for an account with Omise in test mode. However, once you get your live account, a new live recipient is created using your registration and bank account details.
Third-party recipient
You can create as many recipients as you want. Each recipient has their bank account information. We allow funds to be transferred from your Omise account to these recipients.
Create a recipient
The following command demonstrates how to create a recipient using curl
curl https://api.omise.co/recipients \
-X POST \
-u "$OMISE_KEY_SECRET": \
-d "name=James Smith"
-d "email=james.smith@example.com"
-d "description=My first other recipient" \
-d "type=individual"
-d "bank_account[brand]=test" \
-d "bank_account[number]=acc12345" \
-d "bank_account[name]=James Smith"
By default, recipients are inactive
and non-verified
.
To be operational, recipients must go through two steps: Verification and Activation.
Visit recipient api for more details.
Recipient verification
Omise does the recipient verification. This process generally takes no more than two business days. The verification result can be either Verified
or Failed
.
Recipient activation
You can activate recipients independently from the verification process. By default, the recipient is inactive unless you activate it.
Activation is done by going to the recipient details and clicking Activate the recipient
.
Remember that both activation and verification must be successful before transfers become possible.
Transfer to default recipient
Here is sample code showing how to create a transfer to the default recipient:
curl https://api.omise.co/transfers \
-X POST \
-u "$OMISE_KEY_SECRET": \
-d "amount=350000"
# Transfer 3500 THB to default recipient
Transfer to third party recipient
Transferring funds to a third-party recipient is similar, except that you must specify the recipient ID to which to transfer them. Here is an example:
curl https://api.omise.co/transfers \
-X POST \
-u "$OMISE_KEY_SECRET": \
-d "amount=350000"
-d "recipient=recp_test_4z6p7e0m4k40txecj5o"
# Transfer 3500 THB to recipient #recp_test_4z6p7e0m4k40txecj5o
