Verify Transfers

This document will go through the necessary actions taken to verify transfers after you initiated a transfer using Chapa’s transfers API.

How to Verify Transfers

Verifying payment is dependent on the method used when first initializing a transfer. Using your payout reference, a GET request is needed to be made to the Verify Transfer endpoint server.

Here is a sample code for verifying transactions:

Endpoint https://api.chapa.co/v1/transfers/verify/<tx_ref>

Method GET

• Authorization : Pass your secret key as a bearer token in the request header to authorize this call.

1import requests

3  url = "https://api.chapa.co/v1/transfers/verify/chewatatest-6669"
4  headers = {
5      'Authorization': 'Bearer CHASECK_TEST-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
6  }

8  response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
