## 2. Initiate Payment



To initiate the payment a Server-to-Server Order Create request from Merchant to Juspay should be made. Post this, a Server-to-Server Payment Methods request from Merchant to Juspay should be made. Order details and Payment Method details will have to be passed in Payv3 forms.

Step 1: **Call Create Order API** This API will create an order in the Juspay System. Checkout the [Order Create API](/payv3/web/base-integration/order-create)to know in detail the implementation.

> **Warning**
> Order Create API call should be done only once the final payable amount is available



Step 2: **Call Payment Methods API** The response of this call will contain the payment methods and payment method type which are active for your account. Checkout the [Payment Methods API](https://juspay.io/sea/docs/payv3/web/base-integration/payment-methods)[](/payv3/web/base-integration/payment-methods-api)to know in detail the implementation.
