You can issue invoices programmatically just like you do through OPay merchant dashboard.
In this page, you will learn how to issue single invoice.

Create Single Invoice

To create single invoice, you need to request using the POST method in our sandbox environment.
-Here is the request URL:

                
                https://sandboxapi.opaycheckout.com/api/v1/international/invoice/createSingleInvoice
            
                    

-Once you have a fully tested payment flow and you are ready for production, use the following production API endpoint URL instead

                
                https://api.opaycheckout.com/api/v1/international/invoice/createSingleInvoice

Error Handling

After submitting an API call to OPay, you receive a response back to inform you that your request was received and processed. A successful OPay API should return a status code 00, meanwhile, in a situation where any payment processing error occurred, you will receive an error code with a message to describe the reason of the error. A sample error response can be found below.

                    
                        {
                            "code": "02001",
                            "message": "Invalid characters in mobile number",
                            "data": null
                        }
                    
                

Depending on the HTTP status code of the response, you should build some logic to handle any errors that a request or the system may return. A list of possible potential error codes that you may receive can be found below. A full list of all possible error codes can be found in the Error Codes section.
