2. Submit Your First Transaction / Digital Order (DO)
The e-Commerce Payment Service API is a simple-to-use and secure payment service interface which allows the merchant to integrate real-time payment capability into its system. To immediately submit your first transaction (SALE_ONLY transaction), you can make use of a HTML form and submit a HTTPS POST request. You can quickly create one by copying the following code to a new text document:

Revise the parameter values based on the MID account document if necessary. Click “Process payment” to proceed.
3. Complete the transaction
Upon submitting the correct parameters to the platform, you will be redirected to the payment page hosted by the service channel.
If you are using a different MID for making a transaction, please refer to the respective payment flow document and input the payment information as provided in the MID Account Document.
Select “China Merchant Bank” (招商银行) under the Debit Card (储蓄卡) tab. Click “Proceed Payment” (确认付款) to next step.
Accept the parameters to click “confirm payment” (確認支付) to confirm.
