# Payment method identifiers

> The UUID for each payment method Ozow supports, for the fields that take one.

Source: https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/apis/payin/payment-method-ids/

Ozow identifies each payment method by a UUID. The same identifier works across the APIs,
under different field names: `institutionId` on One API, `SelectedBankId` on the
Payments API.

Send one to take a customer straight to that method, skipping the screen where they
choose. Leave the field out and the customer chooses on the Ozow payment page, which is
what most integrations do.

**Standalone button** marks the ones you can put your own button behind, as
[Choose a checkout experience](https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/apis/payin.md)
describes. The rest identify a bank within Pay by Bank rather than a method a customer
would recognise as its own button.

## Where these are used

| API | Field | Where |
|---|---|---|
| One API | `institutionId` | `POST /payments`, at the top level of the request |
| One API | `details.institutionId` | `POST /payments/{id}/transactions`, when `paymentType` is `ozowredirect` |
| One API | `institutionId` | Inside a bank account object: a refund's `paidTo`, a settlement's `bank`, and a redirect's `beneficiary` and `verifiedBankAccount` |
| Payments API | `SelectedBankId` | [Redirect to Ozow](https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/apis/deprecated-integrations/redirect-to-ozow.md), on the payment request |

> ⚠️ **Important**: Field names are case sensitive, and a name that differs by a character
> is a name the API does not recognise. The rejection does not say which field was wrong,
> so copy the names from the reference page for the operation you are calling rather than
> retyping them.

Bank availability changes. Banks go down for infrastructure work and updates, and Ozow
notifies you where it can, so treat a bank being reachable as something to handle rather
than assume.
