JavaScript/Node.js

async function handlePaymentRequest(paymentId, paymentMethod, apiKey) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://apay.cyrexa.io/payment-requests/handle/${paymentId}/${paymentMethod}`,
      {
        method: 'GET',
        headers: {
          'X-API-Key': apiKey,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      }
    );
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      const error = await response.json();
      throw new Error(`Payment handling failed: ${error.message}`);
    }
    
    const result = await response.json();
    
    // Handle different response types
    if (result.redirectUrl) {
      // Redirect customer to complete payment
      window.location.href = result.redirectUrl;
    } else if (result.status === 'completed') {
      // Payment completed immediately
      console.log('Payment completed:', result.transactionId);
    }
    
    return result;
    
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error handling payment:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Usage examples
await handlePaymentRequest(12345, 'CREDIT_CARD', 'your-api-key');
await handlePaymentRequest(12345, 'APPLE_PAY', 'your-api-key');

    'GOOGLE_PAY': 2,
    'CREDIT_CARD': 3,
    'UPI': 4,
    'BANK_TRANSFER': 5
  };
  
  // Filter available methods by customer device/preference
  const supportedMethods = availableMethods.filter(method => {
    switch (method) {
      case 'APPLE_PAY':
        return window.ApplePaySession && ApplePaySession.canMakePayments();
      case 'GOOGLE_PAY':
        return window.google && window.google.payments;
      case 'UPI':
        return customerPreference.country === 'IN';
      default:
        return true;

    methodPriority[a] - methodPriority[b]
  )[0];
}
