I am looking for the api to pass in the credit card information and the amount and the customer info for a one time transaction. All I see is your company showing how to save a card.

To create an online checkout page, you can use the Checkout API. However, for security reasons, you should not directly send credit card information through an API call. Instead, you should use the Web Payments SDK or In-App Payments SDK to securely collect card information and generate a payment token.

Here’s a basic workflow:

  1. Use the Web Payments SDK or In-App Payments SDK on your checkout page to collect card information and generate a payment token.

  2. Use the Customers API to create a customer profile with the customer’s information.

  3. Use the Cards API to save the card for the customer using the payment token generated in step 1.

  4. Use the Checkout API to create a checkout page. In the request, you can specify the amount to charge and the customer ID.

Please note that you should always ask customers for permission before saving their card information.
