Cash Deposits and Payments APIs Overview

The Green Dot Network (GDN) Cash Deposits and Payments APIs consist of the following:

Barcodes and Store Locations API - This is a REST API used to retrieve store locations and create eCash barcodes for cash-in transactions:

• Obtain a lists of retailers
• Obtain a list of nearby stores where Cash-In services are available, by ZIP or latitude and longitude.
• Generate eCash barcodes linked to the target account or transaction

For complete information, refer to the Barcodes and Store Locations section.

Barcode Generation UI - There are two different approaches for partners looking to use Green Dot's eCash feature. Partners can use Barcodes and Store Locations (to build their own UI), or use Barcode Generation UI (with white label screens built already, with partner branding applied).

Barcode Generation provides Green Dot's Barcodes and Store Locations feature with the added benefit of white label screens built already with partner branding applied.

Barcodes and Store Locations is a secure cash deposit solution for “Green Dot Network” (GDN) partners to provide an easier cash load option to their customers. Using this feature, customers can make deposits to their accounts such as pre-paid debit cards.

Retail Consumption API - This is an XML API hosted by the partner or processor that enables partners to authorize and accept cash deposits and payments made by their customers at Green Dot Network retailers. For complete information, refer to the Retail Consumption section.

POB Partner API - The POB (Point of Banking) Partner API provides an alternative method to the Consumption API to receive cash deposit transactions to debit card accounts. This API authenticates Green Dot and the Partner, obtains customer information, processes transactions, and returns responses back to the retailer. For complete information, refer to the POB Partner API section.

Retail Transaction Simulator - This is a Cash-In Simulation service that simulates a Retail Consumption API call at various retailers for the following transactional simulation features:

• Walmart Swipe Reload
• CVS Swipe Reload & eCash Load
• Walgreens Swipe Reload & eCash Load
• Rite Aid Swipe Reload & eCash Load
• Kroger Swipe Reload & eCash Load

For complete information, refer to the Retail Transaction Simulator section.
