The total balance in the account.

​
available_balance

The balance available for withdrawal or transactions.

​
reserve_balance

The amount held in reserve (if applicable).

​

Use Cases

Before processing a transaction, check if the merchant has sufficient available balance:
const balance = await getBalance(merchantId);
if (balance.available_balance >= transactionAmount) {
  // Proceed with transaction
} else {
  // Insufficient funds
}
Check balances across different currencies:
const currencies = ['USD', 'BRL', 'EUR'];
const balances = await Promise.all(
  currencies.map(currency => 
    getBalance(merchantId, { currency })
  )
);
Track the reserve balance to ensure compliance with reserve requirements:
const balance = await getBalance(merchantId);
if (balance.reserve_balance < requiredReserve) {
  // Alert: Reserve below threshold
}

​
Error Handling

​
Invalid Currency

When an invalid currency is provided, the API returns a 200 status with zeroed values: 
{
  "balance": 0,
  "available_balance": 0,
  "reserve_balance": 0
}

​
No Accounts

When the merchant has no accounts, the API returns a 200 status with zeroed values: 
{
  "balance": 0,
  "available_balance": 0,
  "reserve_balance": 0
}

​
Best Practices

Cache Balance Data: Balance information doesn’t change frequently. Consider caching the response for a short period (e.g., 1-5 minutes) to reduce API calls.
Check Available Balance: Always use available_balance rather than balance when determining if funds are available for transactions, as balance includes reserved amounts.
