1) The document provides steps for developers to implement online payments on a merchant website using RESTful APIs from a payment company.
2) Developers are instructed to create a payment token by making an API call to the payment company's sandbox server and including the merchant's API key.
3) JavaScript code is then inserted into the merchant website to initialize the payment process by referencing the payment token and API keys. When a customer enters their payment details, it is sent to the payment company for processing without exposing sensitive card data.
4) The payment company returns a token to the merchant server, which then needs to call the payment company's API to verify the payment using the token, thus completing the transaction.
