Rapyd enables an employer to pay multiple employees in a single operation by splitting a single payment to multiple Rapyd Wallets. You can divide a payment into 2-10 wallets. Paying directly into wallets is especially useful when your employees do not have bank accounts.
- This process can be used to split payments into client wallets, company wallets and personal wallets.
PCI Certification
Only clients with PCI-DSS certification can handle personal identifying information for cards. This method is available to merchants who have signed a special agreement with Rapyd.
Splitting Payment to Multiple Wallets Workflow
- You get the IDs of the employees' wallets from your own database, and send the wallet IDs and the amounts to Rapyd.
- Rapyd processes the transaction and sends confirmation to you.
- You notify the employees that the payment was made.
How It Works
Prerequisites
To run the examples of this use case, you must create the following IDs in your own sandbox:
- ewallet_ - Run Create Wallet for the wallet of each driver-employee. Use the ID you get in the response. For this use case, you need two separate wallet IDs. For more information, see Creating a Rapyd Wallet.
Processing the Payment
To send money to the employees' wallets, you ask Rapyd to create a payment. Out of many payment options, you choose to pay from your company's card.
For that, you'll use Create Payment with the following parameters:
| Body Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| amount | Enter 300 to pay 300.00 U.S. Dollars. This is the total amount due to all the employees. |
| currency | Enter USD as the currency code for U.S. Dollars. |
| ewallet | Enter a JSON array of objects. The first object contains the following fields: ● ewallet - Enter the wallet 'id' that you received when you created the first wallet in your sandbox. For purposes of this use case lesson, we are using ewallet_cfb416d9108161347d98acf17f3fd3e8, which is the wallet ID we created in our sandbox.● amount - 120The second object contains the following fields: ● ewallet - Enter the wallet 'id' that you received when you created the second wallet in your sandbox. For purposes of this use case lesson, we are using ewallet_4f8009d08b7b41e5d3b356494101d83b, which is the wallet ID we created in our sandbox.● amount - 180 |
| payment_method | Enter an object with the following fields:type - us_debit_visa_cardfields - Enter an object with the following fields:number - 4111111111111111expiration_month - 10expiration_year - 20cvv - 123 |
Create Payment Request
You ask Rapyd to create the payment to the wallets.
