  title: PayTabs PT2 Payments API
  description: 'PayTabs PT2 REST API for MENA payment acceptance. A small, uniform surface: POST /payment/request creates and manages transactions (hosted payment page, managed/own form, invoices, tokenized and recurring charges, and follow-up capture / void / release / refund actions selected via tran_type), and POST /payment/query reads transaction status by tran_ref or cart_id. Requests are JSON; the merchant server key is sent in the `authorization` header and the profile is identified by `profile_id` in the body.'

      summary: Create or act on a transaction
      description: Creates a transaction. The `tran_type` field selects the action - `sale` or `auth` initiate a new payment (returning a hosted `redirect_url` for HPP/managed/own-form flows, or authorizing a stored `token`), while `capture`, `void`, `release`, `refund` and `register` act on a prior transaction referenced by `tran_ref`. Invoice and recurring flows reuse the same endpoint with additional fields.
