# Sources

## The Source Resource

A Source is a resource to generate your customer's payment instrument. This is normally used to generate check out URLs for e-wallet payments. To learn more about e-wallet integrations, you can visit [GCash](https://developers.paymongo.com/docs/accepting-gcash-payments) or [GrabPay](https://developers.paymongo.com/docs/accepting-grabpay-payments) integration.

## Creating a Source

```javascript
/**
 * These are the required properties
 * @param {Object} data Data paypload
 * @param {Object} data.attributes Payload attributes
 * @param {string} data.attributes.type The type of source. Possible values are gcash and grab_pay.
 * @param {number} data.attributes.amount Amount int32
 * @param {string} data.attributes.currency Three-letter ISO currency code, in uppercase. PHP is the only supported currency as of the moment.
 * @param {Object} data.attributes.redirect
 * @param {string} data.attributes.redirect.success Success url
 * @param {string} data.attributes.redirect.failed Error url
 */
const result = await paymongo.sources.create(data);

```

```javascript
{
  data: {
    attributes: {
      type: 'gcash',
      amount: 20000, // PHP200,
      currency: 'PHP',
      redirect: {
        success: 'https://yoururl.com/success',
        failed: 'https://yoururl.com/failed'
      }
    }
  }
}

```

 * @param {string} id Source id
 */
const result = await paymongo.sources.retrieve(id);

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://paymongo.ossph.org/reference/api-reference/sources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
