I'm trying to validate a merchant for web from my server but I keep being met with a 400 response with the following error message:

Code Block Payment Services Exception Invalid session request -- missing domainName

The body I am sending is as follows (using dummy values):

Code Block {
    "merchantIdentifier":"merchant.com.company.TestMerchant",
    "domainName":"frontend.example.com",
    "displayName":"My Store",
    "initiative": "web",
    "initiative_context": "frontend.example.com"
}

frontend.example.com is a verified domain so it looks right to me. Am I possibly missing something? or misunderstanding something? I haven't found any other queries about this specific error so I am creating one here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Turns out, dropping the "initiative" and "initiative_context" properties was the solution.

Code Block {    
    "merchantIdentifier":"merchant.com.company.TestMerchant",    
    "domainName":"frontend.example.com",    
    "displayName":"My Store"
}

I still don't fully understand why this worked as both these properties are fairly prominent in the documentation.

I am getting the response but it's keep processing and throwing an error "This website was not able make payments. Please try again" "Payment not completed"

Any solution for that?
