Simulate an inbound payment
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to:
✅ Simulate an inbound wire transfer
If you are new to wire transfers we recommend you read the Wires overview before starting this tutorial.
If you are new to APIs and how they work we recommend you read the API Overview page before starting this tutorial.
The tutorial uses this API endpoint
API | Description |
|---|---|
POST /Wires/v1/payments/simulations | Simulate a post of an inbound wire transfer to an account |
Make sure you have
- Partner ID
Webhook | Description |
|---|---|
Wire.Payment.Received | Inbound wire has been received from another bank |
When you call POST /Wires/v1/payments/simulations, the CR sandbox creates a simulation of an inbound wire transfer to a deposit or subledger account so you can see what the inbound transfer looks like and test any automations you are designing. In this example, Stream247 is refunding $19.99 to their customer, Jana Parker, by sending a wire transfer from their JP Morgan Chase account.
These details show in the API response:
The Stream247 account at JP Morgan Chase as the originator sent an inbound wire transfer direction: Inbound, to Jana Parker, the beneficiary, via Cross River Bank2 in the amount of $19.99 reflected in amount as 1999. The payment ID is e68e32c3-a475-4d0b-a6d8-ae3c01186ff4, as seen in the id attribute.
The Wire.Payment.Received webhook event fires. The payment ID (e68e32c3-a475-4d0b-a6d8-ae3c01186ff4) appears in the resources object. That is the same ID that you received in the response to your simulation request.
