Get Payment Method Required Fields

Retrieve the required fields for a payment method.

The fields are returned as a list of objects. The name of each field appears in the name field of the response.

Note

Rapyd employs a unique variant of regex. Note the following differences:
- A single backslash matches a backslash as an ordinary character.
- A backslash followed by an alphabetic character matches a string of two characters.
- A special character such as \n is indicated as \\n.
Some payment methods require a predefined customer with required fields. See also the example on this page.
Some payment methods require fields when certain conditions are met.
This endpoint replaces the deprecated endpoint - GET /v1/payment_methods/required_fields/:type
Rapyd will continue to support the deprecated endpoint until December 31, 2024.

Parameters

Request Path Parameters

- type
- The type of the payment method.

Request Header Parameters

Response Parameters

- fields
- Contains several fields that are used in creating the specific payment method. These fields always contain the same value for a payment method, so they are included in the payment method object. To determine what fields you need for the payment method, see Get Payment Method Required Fields. For more fields, see the payment_options field in the response to List Payment Methods by Country. The fields object can contain only fields that are explicitly described as either required or optional. A field with an unknown name will throw an error.
  conditions
  Conditions that define whether the field is required.
  
  description
  Text explanation of the condition.
  element_name
  Name of the field that is conditionally required.
  operator
  Operator for evaluating the condition. When the condition evaluates to true, the field is required. One of the following:
  $eq - Equal to - The value in the field is equal to the threshold_value.
  $ne - Not equal to - The value in the field is not equal to the threshold_value.
  $gt - Greater than - The value in the field is greater than the threshold_value.
  $lt - Less than - The value in the field is less than the threshold_value.
  $gte - Greater than or equal to - The value in the field is greater than the threshold_value.
  $lte - Less than or equal to - The value in the field is less than the threshold_value.
  $in - In - The value in the field is equal to any of the values in the threshold_value array.
  $nin - Not in - The value in the field is not equal to any of the values in the threshold_value array.
  threshold_value
  Value to compare with. Can be a string or an array of strings.
  instructions
  Instructions for the field.
  is_required
  Indicates whether the field is required for using the payment method.
  true - Required.
  false - Optional.
  name
  Name of the field.
  regex
  A regular expression that defines the format when type is string.
  Note
  Rapyd uses a unique variant of the regex standard. See
  type
  Type of the field. One of the following values:
  boolean
  number
  string
- maximum_expiration_seconds
- The maximum time (in seconds) that the merchant can set for completing the payment. Relevant when is_expirable is true.
- minimum_expiration_seconds
- The minimum time (in seconds) that the merchant can set for completing the payment. Relevant when is_expirable is true.
- payment_method_options
- Additional fields required for the payment method. These values might vary from one use to the next, so they are not saved as part of the payment method object.
  In the request to create payment, these fields appear in the payment_method_options object.
- payment_options
- Additional fields of the payment object which are required for the payment.
  In the request to create payment, these fields appear in the root of the body of the request.
  To determine the fields, run Get Payment Method Required Fields.
- type
- Type of the payment method. For example, it_visa_card.
  To get a list of payment methods for a country, use List Payment Methods by Country.
