Cashback API

This is API documentation to integrate cashback to your point of sale device, but you could also build your own cashback app, where this API has already been implemented. The first thing you need sign up to Cashback Program in order to get partner name and partner key.
After you accepted payment from the customer, you use this API to request cashback for your customer. You send a POST request to:
https://byte.money/new_purchase
(for testnet use https://byte.money/test/new_purchase)
and pass the following parameters:
partner: (string) your partner name you were assigned when you signed up for the program.
partner_key: (string) partner key used to authenticate your requests.
customer: (string) any id of the customer who made a purchase such as customer name or id in your database. This field must be the same when the same customer makes another purchase.
