Introduction

Welcome to version 3.0 of the Hyfin API. The API allows third-party applications to send payment requests to customers via text message, email or both. Once received, the customer can then view and pay the invoice from their mobile phone or any device without the need to download and install an application.

An API access token is required to access the API. Please visit the Authentication section for details on how to obtain and use API access tokens.

Onboarding

The Hyfin platform has support for multiple levels of access. Below are definitions of the available business structures within the API along with how they relate to each other.

Site

Once a Site is created using the Hyfin API and the site_id has been assigned, you can then call any of the Site level endpoints.

The Site level APIs can be used to add or update invoices within the Hyfin application. When the invoice is added to Hyfin, a payment request will be automatically generated and the customer will be notified via text message, email or both based on the notification options set on the customer record.

If the customer is viewing the invoice on their device and it gets updated, a message will display letting the customer know the invoice has been updated and the new version of the invoice will automatically be displayed on the customers device.
