About sub-clients

Sub-clients are clients created in Azupay platform that are linked to your clientId. That means you control their behaviour and details independently. A sub-client has the following characteristics:

It has its own set of api keys to invoke Azupay APIs to send or receive payments.
Independent PayID domains and descriptions.
Independent settlement accounts.
Independent set of users with access to the Dashboard.

For more information on how to activate this endpoint for your client please contact our sales team.

Create a new sub-client

To create a new sub-client you can send a request like the following:

POST https://api.azupay.com.au/v1/clients
Authorization: SECR_CLIENTID_password
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "client": {
    "clientTransactionId": "30597959-a853-44d4-bdab-54332bf7a98e",
    "legalName": "Legal name",
    "defaultPaymentExpiryDuration": 2323,
    "payIDDomains": [
      {
        "domain": "mydomain.com",
        "merchantName": "merchant name"
      }
    ],
    "abn": "12345678901",
    "settlementAccountBSB": "123456",
    "settlementAccountNumber": "123555555",
    "settlementAccountFullLegalName": "Account legal name",
    "settlementPayID": "[email protected]",
    "dashboardUserEmail": "[email protected]",
    "dashboardUserRole": "FINANCE_ADMIN"
  }
}

Some information about the client object.

clientTransactionId: this is a unique identifier send by the consumer that help prevent duplications.
If you send the same value twice the entity gets replaced. Values like an uuid are ideal here.
legalName: the legal name of the new sub-client. This is the default value used on the PayID descriptions when the PayIDDomains don't define a merchantName.
defaultPaymentExpiryDuration: the default payID expiry duration in seconds. This is how long before an unpaid payID gets de-registered. This can be overwritten when creating the PaymentRequest.
payIDDomains: at least one value with domain has to be provided. See the documentation on receiving payments for more information about the use of payID domains.
abn: The Australian Business Number for this sub-client.
settlementAccountFullLegalName: is the legal name for the bank account that will receive the payments.
dashboardUserEmail: an email address of the first user that will get an email invitation to create an account and use the Dashboard for this sub-client. This user will then be able to invite additional users with the same role.
dashboardUserRole: the role that the first user will have on the system. See the API documentation and reference section for the full list of roles and descriptions.
You will have to provide either settlementAccountBSB and settlementAccountNumber, or settlementPayID in order to allow funds to be sent back.

You will get a response like the following:

{
  "client": {
    "id": "731c04075258428730c3152a7904dda4",
    "clientTransactionId": "30597959-a853-44d4-bdab-54332bf7a98e",
    "legalName": "Legal name",
    "defaultPaymentExpiryDuration": 2323,
    "payIDDomains": [
      {
        "domain": "mydomain.com",
        "merchantName": "merchant name"
      }
    ],
    "abn": "12345678901",
    "settlementAccountBSB": "123456",
    "settlementAccountNumber": "123555555",
    "settlementPayID": "[email protected]",
    "settlementAccountFullLegalName": "Account legal name",
    "keys": [
      {
        "keyId": "SECR",
        "bcryptKeyHash": "$2a$10$hi0NLji0sqAobZd0Lp7JKOBF0nc9U045jqf1co1fJSXb2C1KAVkkO",
        "key": "SECR_731c04075258428730c3152a7904dda4_rY6JxWLPQCSRGhPA"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The response contains a few additional useful fields:

id: this is the new id for the sub-client, to be used as clientId in the /paymentRequest endpoints
but for this sub-client.
keys[keyID=SECR].key: this is the newly generated API key to use for this sub-client to create transactions. Note we do not store this value and cannot be fetched again. If you call this endpoint again with the same clientTransactionId, a new set of keys will be generated and returned.

Once you receive an email, you are all set and you can use the new sub-client to create or receive payments.
Just use the id as clientId and the keys[keyID=SECR].key in the Authorization header

POST https://api.azupay.com.au/v1/paymentRequest
Authorization: SECR_731c04075258428730c3152a7904dda4_rY6JxWLPQCSRGhPA
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "PaymentRequest": {
    "clientId": "731c04075258428730c3152a7904dda4",
    ...
  }
}
