Create a Transaction Intent

Create a Transaction Intent

PUT https://api.pos.zmyle.de/service/v1.1/transaction_intents

Create a new transaction intent. This will reserve funds on a gift card and hold them for you for redeeming. You can then commit the action by confirming the transaction intent. If you do not confirm nor cancel the transaction intent then the funds will automatically be released back into the gift card after some time (usually 30 minutes).
