**A. E-Wallet recharging:**

1. Open the Postman tool and select the relevant environment (For testing purposes use ’ **Rapyd Payments - Sandbox** ’ environment).
2. Use the API ’ **Add Funds To User Account** ’ (it may already been saved in Postman collection).
3. In the body of the message, set the following: merchant E-Wallet phone number in ‘phone\_number’ field, the amount of money set in ‘amount’ field and the currency in ‘currency’ field.
4. **Note** : Make sure the E-Wallet exists before that.

**Add Funds to Wallet Account API Request**

```

**Add Funds to Wallet Account API Response**

```auto
{ "status": { "error_code": "", "status": "SUCCESS", "message": "", "response_code": "", "operation_id": "2f166dcf-19a5-4393-aa47-bf6e3434b3b6" }, "data": { "id": "c10e06e8-c93a-46ea-a16c-3a45639663ba", "account_id": "ef17c6f3-fcdc-11ea-bbd7-02c4887b9dab", "phone_number": "+14155551934", "amount": 5000, "currency": "PHP", "balance_type": "available_balance", "metadata": { "merchant_defined": true } }}

```

**B. Recharge validation:**

1. Open the Postman tool and use the API ’ **Get eWallet** ’
2. Set the E-Wallet ID or the phone number in the ‘Path Params’ (GET method requests doesn’t contain body).

_ **Example:** _

**Get Wallet API Request**

```auto
// Request URL: GET https://sandboxapi.rapyd.net/v1/user/ewallet_9e2ad940e7b24e78701021cdc7d91fa4// Message body absent

```

### Get Wallet API Response

1. E-Wallet is identified by an E-Wallet id (a hash string that starts with `ewallet_` , in this case it is `ewallet_b936b69d1557e05a63cf09eafe34d02` ) or a phone number.
2. Each E-Wallet can contain several accounts for different currencies. The accounts are opened automatically when you add funds of a new currency. In the example above there are two accounts: one for RUB and one for USD.
3. An E-Wallet owner can transfer funds to another e-wallet. If the transfer is of a new currency to destination E-Wallet, a new account will be opened automatically in that E-Wallet.
