Funds Auto Release - Netcash

Overview

The ReleaseFunds method is an online, synchronous web service that allows an external system to request a payment from the merchant’s Netcash account into the bank account configured against the merchant account.

The calling system can opt to release a user-specified amount or to release all available funds as calculated on the date selected in the web service call.

Only valid banking days between Monday and Friday may be selected.
Dates may not be in the past.
Requests for release of funds on the current day must be submitted before 14h30 on the valid banking day.

The service returns a numeric response where 000 indicates a successful request.

Any other value represents a failed request.

NOTE: Existing entries in the Netcash payment queue can be manually edited by logging onto your merchant account on the Netcash website.

To access the NIWS_NIF endpoint you require a Netcash Account Service Key.

Service keys are issued to merchants and must be validated and stored in the NetConnector setup of your application
