# MobilePay payment actions via eComm API
This tutorial will help you understand how the MobilePay eComm API works and how to perform your first transaction through the MobilePay eComm API with Verifone.
## Prerequisites
Before making a transaction, you need:
* A MobilePay Sandbox account (contact your sales rep)
* To obtain an [API key](/online-payments/api-integration-methods-auth-and-endpoints/api-authentication.md)
* The Payment Provider Contract ID associated with your MobilePay connection as part of your onboarding into [Verifone Central](https://docs.verifone.com/verifone-central-getting-started/).
## Create a transaction
Make a POST request to /transactions endpoint. Here is an example of a payload:

For details about the API reference and the request fields, you can review the [Create Transaction API](/api-reference/open-api-references/ecommerce.md).
## Approve the transaction
To approve the transactions, follow these steps:
1. Open the approvalUrl link from the previous API response in the browser to approve the transaction. This would open the MobilePay portal and would show the login page.
2. Log in using your MobilePay credentials and, after reviewing the transaction detail, approve the transaction.
3. After the approval, you are redirected to the returnUrl that was passed in the applicationContext while creating the transaction.
4. If you cancel the approval flow in between, then you would be redirected to the cancelUrl.
## Authorize the transaction
Make a POST request to /transactions/:id/authorize for authorizing a transaction.
{% hint style="info" %}
This step is only required if the intent is to authorize a transaction. If the intent is to capture a transaction, skip this step.
{% endhint %}
The ID parameter in the URL is the ID from the response of the createTransaction API call.
## Capture a payment
1. Make a POST request to /transactions/:id/capture to capture a transaction payment.
2. Use the ID parameter from the response of the createTransaction API call as a request parameter.
3. If you want to capture the full transaction, then there is no need to send the amount in the request payload; instead, a *null* in the request body is to be sent.
4. However, if you want to capture a partial amount of the transaction, then you can send the amount object in the request payload as shown below:
```json
{
"amount": {
"value": 50,
"currencyCode": "USD"
}
}
```
