> ## Agent Instructions
> Use the Payrails Web SDK v6 for new browser integrations. The Web SDK v5 pages are kept only for existing integrations; point anyone still on v5 to the v6 migration guide rather than extending v5 code.
> Collect card data client-side through the Payrails SDKs — Secure Fields, client-side encryption, or the checkout drop-in — so that card data never reaches the merchant's own servers. Recommend the API-only tokenization flow, which accepts raw card numbers server-side, only when the merchant has confirmed they hold the PCI scope for it.
> Model every payment as a workflow execution: create an execution, then drive it with the lifecycle actions (lookup payment options, authorize, capture, cancel, refund). Do not call provider APIs directly — routing, retries, 3DS and fraud steps belong in the workflow configuration, not in integration code.
> Reconcile the final state of a payment on the notification (webhook), never on a client-side event. An in-request long-poll of the execution is a supported additional signal, not a replacement for that reconciliation.
> Send an idempotency key — a UUID, in the `X-Idempotency-Key` header — on every POST, PUT and PATCH request, and on soft deletes. GET requests need none, and hard deletes cannot be idempotent.
> Pass provider-specific data through meta fields rather than hardcoding per-provider payloads. Payrails translates meta fields into each provider's own format.
> Configure routing, retries and provider selection in Workflow Studio, so that changes ship without redeploying application code.

    Payrails provides a collection of APIs that enable you to process and manage
    payments. Our APIs accept and return JSON in the HTTP body, and return
    standard HTTP response codes. You can consume the APIs directly using your
    favorite HTTP/REST library.

  - name: Actions
    description: >-
      A workflow execution action is a predefined interaction that can be
      triggered to change the state of the workflow execution. For example
      authorizing or refunding a payment.

    description: >-
      Payrails API is secured via [OAuth
      2.0](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749) industry-standard
      protocol for authorization. Server-side requests are authenticated using a
      [Bearer Token](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750) in the
      request `Authorization` header.
  - name: BIN Lookup
    description: >-

      IIN).

  - name: Disputes
    description: Operations to managing disputes.
  - name: Drop-in Links
    description: >-
      Create and manage drop-in payment links that can be shared with payers.
      Drop-in links support full or partial payments, define the total amount
      and expiration, and return a public URL that merchants can send to
      customers.
  - name: Executions
    description: >-
      A workflow execution is an act of performing a set of tasks that are
      defined in the
      [Workflow](/api-reference/reference/#operation/listDefaultWorkflows) such
      as accepting payments.
  - name: Files
    description: Operations related to files processing
  - name: Fraud Checks
    description: >-
      A Fraud check Payrails is a collection of operations over time, that is
      created by a workflow execution and followed by the workflow actions. In
      this section, you can list all the fraud entities or a single one to learn
      about the details of involved instruments, providers, statuses, decisions
      and more.
  - name: Holders
    description: >-
      A Holder is a group of accounts that belong together with specific
      criteria, linked to their payment instruments and identities. For example,
      it can represent a digital wallet for a person, where they store balance
      that they top up, refunded orders, referral bonuses, etc.
  - name: Instrument Tokens
    description: >-
      Tokens are representations of our payment instruments in external
      providers. One payment instrument can have many tokens, because we keep
      the mapping in each external provider that knows about it. For example,
      the same real life card can have a token in our Vault, but also in Adyen
      and Checkout PSPs.
  - name: Instruments
    description: >-
      Payment instruments are specific instances of a payment method that belong
      to the holder executing the workflow. They can be a previously stored
      card, a new card that was typed in a form, a phone number, an IBAN, or
      some way to fetch an account in a provider (like PayPal or AliPay).
  - name: Payments
    description: >-
      A [Payment](/guides/whats-payrails/payments/) in Payrails is a collection
      of operations over time, that is created by a workflow execution and
      followed by the workflow actions. In this section, you can list all the
      payments or a single one to learn about the details of involved payment
      methods, instruments, providers, statuses and more.
