Association: A Zeam business tenant. Every application and all data are scoped to one association. You receive its id as associationId when you issue a token; the gateway resolves it server-side from your bearer token on every request afterward — you never send it yourself. Application: A registered integration bound to one association. Authenticates with client credentials, not a human login. Client ID / client secret: The credentials exchanged at POST /v1/auth/token to obtain an access token. Application secret: The secret sent on every protected request as the x-zeam-auth header. Issued at registration as the apiKey. Access token: A short-lived bearer token used in the Authorization header. See Access tokens. Wallet: An account that holds balances and has a Stellar public key (G…). See the API reference. Beneficiary: A saved recipient (individual or business) under an association. Bespoke connector: A connector with flow: BESPOKE. The customer pays the provider first, against an on-ramp reference, instead of you quoting and submitting the payment. See Provider on-ramps. Connector: A payment provider integration for a specific corridor, exposed via GET /v1/connectors. Its flow is STANDARD (quoted and submitted) or BESPOKE (provider-initiated). Corridor: A combination of country, payment method, and direction (on-ramp or off-ramp) that a connector serves. Quote: A priced off-ramp or on-ramp offer for a connector and amount, with a rate, fees, and an expiry. Created with POST /v1/quotes (add ?type=onramp for an on-ramp). P2P: A same-asset transfer between your own wallets or to a beneficiary’s crypto destination, sent with POST /v1/payments/p2p/own or POST /v1/payments/p2p/beneficiary. Off-ramp: A cash-out from a wallet to a real-world payment destination, executed against a quote with POST /v1/payments/offramp. On-ramp: Money paid in to one of your wallets. Either a collection from a registered counterparty’s mobile-money payment destination, executed against an on-ramp quote with POST /v1/payments/onramp, or a provider on-ramp, where the customer pays a provider against an on-ramp reference. On-ramp reference: What a customer pays against on a bespoke connector, for example an EasyPay number, bound to one of your wallets. Registered with POST /v1/onramp/references. Payment: A P2P transfer, swap, off-ramp, or on-ramp. Payments you submit are asynchronous; the response returns a transactionRecordId with 202 Accepted. Provider on-ramp payments are not submitted by you and are reported only through webhooks. Transaction: The record created by a payment submission, tracked to its outcome via GET /v1/transactions/{transactionId}. Operation: A single movement within a payment. The gateway submits one operation per payment request. Webhook: A registration that delivers payment lifecycle events to your endpoint. Managed in the business portal or via the API. See Webhooks. Problem response: The RFC 7807 error format returned as application/problem+json. Request ID: The X-Request-Id on every response (mirrored as requestId in problem bodies), used to trace a request in support.
