Payment workflow
The following diagram explains workflow for PayU payments.
Step 1: Create a payu payment type resource and get the ID of the resource back.
Step 2: Create a charge with create/v1/payment/charges and receive back a pending transaction with a redirect URL of the customer.
Step 3: Now forward the end customer to the PayU checkout page.
