Sale request

An overview of the Sale request message for Android.

Overview

👉 The Sale request is used to prompt payment from the customer for a specific amount, including the desired tip amount. Once the customer has attempted or completed payment, a related transaction (either successful or unsuccessful) will be created.

This request allows for multimerchant functionality with the ISV schema. For multimerchant functionality without the ISV schema, please see Multimerchant Sale request

The client app must implement a mechanism to send messages using Android intents and URI calls and to receive the result in a custom URI callback.
