How to Query Gateway Payment Types

Note: Only Stripe, Payssion, and Alipay support payment types selection (they have corresponding JSON configuration files in the backend). Other gateways (including Alipay+, FireKassa, MulenPay, Blockonomics, Changelly, Unitpay, PayPal, Wire Transfer) process payments as a single method without selecting specific payment types. To get the complete list of payment types supported by Stripe, Payssion, or Alipay, use the Gateway Setup API: API Endpoint: Get Payment Gateway List
curl --location --request GET "$UniBee_API_Host/merchant/gateway/list" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $UNIBEE_API_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'
For gateways that support payment types (Stripe, Payssion, Alipay), the response includes a setupGatewayPaymentTypes field which contains the complete list of available payment types. For other gateways, this field will be empty or null. Example Response Structure:
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "gateways": [
      {
        "gatewayId": 25,
        "gatewayName": "stripe",
        "gatewayType": 1,
        "setupGatewayPaymentTypes": [
          {
            "name": "Visa",
            "paymentType": "visa",
            "category": "card",
            "countryName": "Global",
            "autoCharge": true
          },
          {
            "name": "Mastercard",
            "paymentType": "mastercard",
            "category": "card",
            "countryName": "Global",
            "autoCharge": true
          }

        ]
      }
      // ... more gateways
    ]
  }
}
