  title: Orqex Orchestrate API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The Orqex Orchestrate API for collecting payments and sending payouts.


    Authenticate with a secret key as a bearer token; the key also selects the
    environment. Amounts are in major units everywhere: `50` means 50.00. Writes
    accept an `X-Idempotency-Key` header. Lists are cursor-paginated.


    Which countries, currencies and payment methods are available depends on
    your project configuration: read them from the discovery endpoints at
    payment time, or look them up in your dashboard.
