Payment - Paylias Docs

All transactions on the Paylias network begin with a Payment. Whether you’re initiating a push or pull payment, the first step is to create a payment object that defines the intent and parties involved. A payment encapsulates key details such as the amount, payment type (push or pull), payer and payee aliases, and associated metadata like reference numbers and billing information. Once a payment is created, it can be acted upon through tasks — either a Submission Task (for push payments) or an Admission Task (for pull payments).

All amounts must be specified in the lowest denomination of the currency (e.g. cents for USD).
