Referrals API reference

To communicate with the Adyen API you should submit HTTP POST requests to corresponding endpoints. These endpoints differ for test and live accounts, and also depend on the data format (SOAP, JSON, or FORM) you use to submit data to the Adyen payments platform.

This document lists all endpoints available for you to integrate with the test platform and run QA checks.

Endpoints

SOAP

For the SOAP messaging protocol, all test payment requests must be posted to the following endpoint:

• https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/services/ReferralCAService

The data schema for corresponding SOAP objects is available at:

• https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/services/ReferralCAService?wsdl

JSON and FORM

This is an overview of the test URL endpoints to communicate with our API using JSON or FORM (key-value parameters passed in an HTTP POST URL).
