Continuation

Resume the same payment instead of creating another.

A checkout or payment link can show a short code that takes the payer back to the same payment, offline or on another device. Using the code does not create or confirm a payment.

  1. Show the code

    Show the returned continuation code next to the link, so the payer can switch devices or pick up again after losing their connection.

  2. Claim, then resume

    POST /public/v1/continuations/claim, then use the returned target to reopen the existing link or checkout. Never create a new payment intent because a browser closed.

  3. Offer available channels

    Offer only the continuation and notification channels the API returns as available for the account and environment.

The claim endpoint's full request and response are in the API reference.
