# API Quick Start (Merchant)

Accept a USDC payment into your merchant account in two calls: create a payment, then poll for its status.

App ID: your merchant `appId`. You can try the examples below with our test merchant `pos_rozostudio`, then join our discord to get your own.

API Host: <https://intentapiv4.rozo.ai/functions/v1>

### 1. Create a payment

`POST /payment-api/payments`

Base chain ID: `8453`

```bash
# Curl
curl --location --request POST 'https://intentapiv4.rozo.ai/functions/v1/payment-api/payments' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "appId": "pos_rozostudio",
    "orderId": "order-'"$(date +%s)"'",
    "type": "exactIn",
    "display": {
        "title": "Your POS test",
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "source": {
        "chainId": "8453",
        "tokenSymbol": "USDC",
        "amount": "0.10"
    }
}'
```

The response returns a payment `id` and a `receiverAddress` on the source chain — show the customer this address (or its QR) to pay.

```json
{
  "id": "<payment_id>",
  "appId": "pos_rozostudio",
  "orderId": "order-1700000000",
  "status": "payment_unpaid",
  "type": "exactIn",
  "display": {
    "title": "Your POS test",
    "currency": "USD"
  },
  "source": {
    "chainId": "8453",
    "tokenSymbol": "USDC",
    "tokenAddress": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",
    "amount": "0.10",
    "receiverAddress": "<deposit_address>",
    "fee": "0.00"
  }
}
```

### 2. Check payment status

`GET /payment-api/payments/{id}`

```bash
# Curl
curl 'https://intentapiv4.rozo.ai/functions/v1/payment-api/payments/<payment_id>'
```

Poll this endpoint until `status` becomes `payment_completed`. Common statuses:

| Status              | Meaning                                |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `payment_unpaid`    | Waiting for the customer to send funds |
| `payment_started`   | Funds detected on chain, confirming    |
| `payment_completed` | Settled — fulfill the order            |

> Tip: instead of polling, configure a [Webhook](/integration/api-doc/merchant-api/webhook.md) to get notified when the payment completes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rozo.ai/integration/api-doc/merchant-api/api-quick-start-merchant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
