Sale request

An overview of the Sale request message for iOS.

Our ‘Viva.com Terminal’ application (tap-on-phone) supports Apple Tap to Pay in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Romania, and Sweden, Italy & Germany.

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.

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