DO I NEED TO USE AN API FOR THIS?

We want to have our customers click on a payment link that takes them to the payment system we use to process the payment. I want to send them the Record ID and the Total Due.... How in the world do I do that? thank you!

    Is the payment system a Quick Base app? 
    Does the payment system have an API? 

    You want to send them the Record ID and Total Due - via email? 

    Is the "record id" and "total due" derived from a Quick Base App? 

    Pipelines might work - it would be easier if your Payment system had an existing "channel" in Pipelines - check on that. 

    Are you customers logging in to your Quick Base app is it anonymous? 

    Providing more information would help better minds than mine point you in the right direction.

      Hi! No the payment system is another company - a payment processing center. They're handling all the payments for us. The players use an entry form in Quickbase to enter the events, then they need to pay for the events. I was thinking of having them click "pay" or whatever, and it takes them to the payment processing center (via their link?) and then pass through the Record ID and the Total due from Quickbase to them.

      I don't know if a restful API is right, or a URL is right, I'm not sure. So any ideas and any help is appreciated.

      I have their dev team on the phone, and they can give me the API integration line of code in javascript so I can push through amount and name, but where/how do I set that up on my side?

        What are they providing you with exactly?

        If they are giving you a endpoint to send an HTTP Request to, then you can do this a pipeline pretty easily.

        If they intend for you to execute some javascript code,  you'll need to use a code page which is a little tricky.
