Connect a customer handle

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

Starts connecting a customer (by phone/email) so an agent can pay on their behalf. Linq drives the OTP + consent ceremony through the messaging channel; this returns pending and a connection.created webhook fires once the customer completes it.

handle: string

ReturnsExpand Collapse

PaymentHandleConnection object { connect_id, handle, status }

connect_id: optional string

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 string

status: optional "not_connected" or "pending" or "connected" or "revoked"

One of the following:

"not_connected"

"pending"

"connected"

"revoked"
