Create an order
Create an Order object.
Creating orders is one of the basic operations of the Merchant API. Most of the other operations are related to creating orders. Furthermore, the payment methods merchants can use to take payments for their orders are also building on order creation.

Industry-specific requirements
If you operate in any of the industries listed below, sharing industry-specific data is highly encouraged. Not providing the necessary information may result in further scrutiny from the Revolut risk team and/or the imposition of risk mitigation actions.
| Industry | Related fields |
|---|---|
| Retail merchants | line_items |
| Airlines and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) | industry_data with type: airline |

Authorization
Each Merchant API request must contain an authorization header in the following format to make a call:
'Authorization: Bearer <yourSecretApiKey>'
Before you start, ensure that you've successfully applied for a Merchant Account in your Revolut Business Account.
The Public key is on the same path in your Revolut Business account as the Secret key. There are two different functions for each:
- Public key should be provided with payment methods at checkout
- Secret key is used as a part of the authorization header for all server calls, e.g., creating order
Complete the following steps to generate the Production API keys (Secret, Public):
- Log in to your Revolut Business account: Access the Revolut Business log in page and enter your credentials.
- Navigate to Merchant API settings: Once logged in, access the Merchant API settings page by clicking in the top right corner, then selecting APIs > Merchant API. Here you can access your Production API keys (Public, Secret) specific to your Merchant account.
- Get API keys: If you're visiting this page for the first time, you'll need to generate your Production API Secret key, click the
Generatebutton.
Use these keys only for the production environment. For the Revolut Business Sandbox environment, use the sandbox API keys.
SSL
This authentication protocol is used exclusively when using Fast checkout.
Connection over HTTPS is using SSL authentication. For successful authentication, your system's certificate should be issued by a Public Certificate Authority (PCA) and your system should trust Revolut's public certificate.
Revolut-Pay-Payload-Signature
This authentication protocol is used exclusively when using Fast checkout.
Data integrity and authorship will be verified using a payload-based signature. The response of a successful URL registration for address validation (see: Register address validation for Fast checkout) will contain a secret signing key.
The signing key will be used by Revolut to compute a Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) payload signature whenever the registered URL is called, which should be verified by your backend.
Request
Example: "Bearer sk_1234567890ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrSTUvwxYZ_1234567890-Ab_cdeFGHijkLMNopq"
This parameter accepts the Merchant API Secret key to authorise requests coming from the merchant's backend.
It ensures that ensures that each request is authenticated and authorised by verifying the secret key. The secret key should be included in all request headers as a Bearer token.
For more information, see: Authorization
Possible values: [2023-09-01, 2024-05-01, 2024-09-01]
Example: "2024-09-01"

If not specified, you will receive an error.
For more information about API versioning, see: API versions.
The order total expressed in minor currency units, according to the ISO 4217 standard. For example, 7034 in EUR corresponds to €70.34.
- Conversion between major and minor units varies by currency. For instance,
100minor units equal £1.00 inGBP, whereas inISKthey represent 100 units. For more details, see the ISO 4217 standard. - If
line_itemsare provided, the orderamountmust equal the sum of all line items'total_amount. - For card payments with a non-zero amount, the order
amountmust be at least $0.005 (or equivalent in different currencies, calculated using Revolut's exchange rate on the payment date). Otherwise, card payments can't be performed.

If settlement_currency is different from the value of currency, the money will be exchanged when the amount is settled to your merchant account. In case of a refund or chargeback, the money will be exchanged to the order's initial currency.
If settlement_currency is not specified, this value is taken from currency.

You can set a dynamic statement descriptor for your orders by providing a custom suffix.
A statement descriptor is the text shown on cardholders' bank or card statements, helping them recognise a transaction or merchant. This field can be used to send extra information with the statement descriptor for card transactions.
The complete descriptor is built using the following format: {base}*{suffix}, where:
{base}is the existing descriptor configured in the Revolut Business dashboard (Settings > Business account > Merchant profile > Statement descriptor).{suffix}is defined by thestatement_descriptor_suffixfield.
- If the combined descriptor's length (base + suffix) exceeds the character limits of card scheme providers, the final value will be truncated. For example if the limit is 22 characters, the base descriptor is
"base"and the suffix is"testdescriptorsuffix", the final descriptor becomes"base*testdescriptorsuf". - The final statement descriptor shown on a cardholder's statement may vary by issuing bank, as some banks apply their own custom formatting or truncation rules.
