Juspay Transactions API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Juspay Express Checkout API
  description: >-
    Server-to-server REST API for the Juspay payments orchestration and checkout
    platform. Merchants create and track orders, process transactions across
    payment methods (cards, UPI, netbanking, wallets), issue refunds, manage
    customers, and initialize the Hyper Checkout / HyperSDK drop-in checkout via
    a payment session. Requests authenticate with an API key over HTTP Basic
    (API key as the username, empty password) plus an `x-merchantid` header;
    Juspay recommends passing an `x-routing-id` (typically the customer id) to
    pin the payment session lifecycle. Most write endpoints accept
    `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` bodies.

    Endpoint paths and methods below are grounded in Juspay's public Express
    Checkout / Hyper Checkout documentation as of 2026-07-12. Request and
    response schemas are modeled from the documented parameters and are marked
    where fields are illustrative rather than exhaustive; verify against the
    live reference before production use.
