Overview

SAP Concur partners with external payment providers for processing invoice payments. These payment providers are listed on the App Center and can integrate with the Invoice product by using the Invoice Pay APIs. Payment providers can get a list of all the payments authorized to be processed by them, and send back status of those payments.

Limitations: This API is only available for use by payment partners who will be processing invoice payments. This API can accept a maximum of 1,000 requests per minute across all payment providers. This API is available only in the North America Data Center.

Obtaining payments

Payment providers can use this endpoint to get a list of payments.

  • It returns a maximum of 500 records at a time. In order to ensure that all payments are retrieved, call this method until you receive an empty payment in the response.
  • The payment provider will need to acknowledge that payments were received, using Updating a Payment With Status and updating the status of the payment to any status other than PENDING_RETRIEVAL.
