Check Limits - Netcash - Integration API

Overview

GetPaymentLimits method is an online, synchronous web service method which allows an external system to request the current Payment line and batch limits configured against the merchant’s Netcash account.

The GetDebitLimits method is similar but returns the current Debit order line and daily limits.

The Service Key submitted determines the service limits returned.

To access the NIWS_NIF endpoint you require a valid, active Netcash service key.

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