Registering first payment for Repeat

[grim-reapper]

I am using the "createPayment" method to register a payment. I would like to register this payment so that it can be used for repeat payments in the future. In order to do this, Opayo requires certain information to be provided, specifically:

"credentialType": {
   "cofUsage": "First",
   "initiatedType": "CIT",
   "mitType": "Unscheduled",
},

However, I cannot find a place to input these options in the "createPayment" method. I tried adding them as an array in the last parameter, but I received an error message saying that the options were unknown. Could you please let me know how I can add these options correctly?

Is it repeat payments that you are looking for?

[grim-reapper]

Partially yes, as I mentioned in my first message to make repeat payment request the first payment should be register along with below options, then later on you can make repeat payment of this transaction. This is mentioned in opayo website as well.

"credentialType": {
   "cofUsage": "First",
   "initiatedType": "CIT",
   "mitType": "Unscheduled",
},

So when I register first payment I have to proved above options, If I don't provide opayo gives error back to provide these options. But I couldn't find place where to put these options when using createPayment method. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

I am doing this directly outside of the library - calling /api/v1/transactions with transactionType=Payment. I found notes that you may need to add 'recurringExpiry', 'recurringFrequency', 'purchaseInstalData'. But none of those worked. We found in the end Opayo API doesn't allow us to recur payments effectively and consistently, most were getting knocked back between Opayo and the Mechant but we couldn't get support to say which settings were necessary. In the end we had to give up and just ask customers to pay their balance if they wish to proceed.
