Submit a customer's one-time code

payment_handles.verify(, ) -> PaymentHandleConnection

POST/v3/payments/handles/{handle}/verify

Completes the ceremony connect started: verifies the code, records the customer’s consent, and stores the connection. Returns connected on success, after which payments for this handle no longer need the customer present.

The code reaches you however your channel works — typically the customer replies with it in the thread. Codes are single-use and short-lived; if one has expired, call connect again for a fresh connect_id.

ParametersExpand Collapse

handle: str

code: str

The one-time code the customer received.

connect_id: str

The id returned by connect.

ReturnsExpand Collapse

class PaymentHandleConnection: …

connect_id: Optional[str]

Returned only by connect, and only while the ceremony is pending. Nothing on our side persists it — it comes back from the provider and is required again to verify — so hold it until you submit the code.

handle: Optional[str]

status: Optional[Literal["not_connected", "pending", "connected", "revoked"]]

One of the following:

"not_connected"

"pending"

"connected"

"revoked"
