Make a POST request to /v1/api/payments with body:
{
"reference": "CAKE",
"description": "Pay for a GOV.UK Pay cake",
"amount": 2499,
"return_url": "https://www.google.com"
}
This mimics the behaviour of how a government service would integrate with the GOV.UK Pay API.
Follow the next_url in the response to complete the payment journey.
Deployed to GOV.UK PaaS.
Using cloudfoundry ci, login to PaaS and run
cf push
This uses manifest.yml which contains environment variables for the TrueLayer sandbox environment.
Secrets are set manually using cf set-env.
Requires a postgres service to be running in PaaS and bound to the app.
To push a version that points to the live TrueLayer account, use live-manifest.yml
cf push -f live-manifest.yml
