Interact with the Lectful Central API for admin operations

Actions63

Overview

This node interacts with the Lectful Central API to perform administrative operations related to payment methods, among many other resources. Specifically, the List Payment Methods operation retrieves a paginated list of all payment methods configured in the Lectful system.

This node is beneficial for automating workflows that require managing or auditing payment methods, such as syncing payment options with other systems, generating reports on available payment methods, or integrating payment method data into customer-facing applications.

Practical example:
You can use this node to fetch all active payment methods from your Lectful Central account and then update your e-commerce platform or CRM with the latest payment options available to customers.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing payment methods retrieved from the Lectful Central API.

Each item in the output json field corresponds to a payment method object returned by the API. The structure typically includes fields such as:

  • id: Unique identifier of the payment method
  • name: Name of the payment method (e.g., Credit Card, Bank Transfer)
  • code: Unique code for the payment method (e.g., credit_card, bank_transfer)
  • description: Description of the payment method
  • is_active: Boolean indicating if the payment method is currently active
  • is_online: Boolean indicating if the payment method supports online payments
  • requires_reference: Boolean indicating if the payment method requires a reference number

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful Central API.
  • Requires either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the base URL and API key.
  • The node uses HTTP Bearer token authentication with the provided API key.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual overrides are properly set, the node will throw an error indicating missing or invalid credentials. Ensure you have configured valid API credentials or provide them manually.
  • Base URL or API key missing in manual mode: When using manual configuration, both the Base URL Override and API Key Override must be provided; otherwise, the node will error out.
  • API request failures: Network issues, incorrect API keys, or insufficient permissions may cause API calls to fail. Check the API response messages logged by the node for details.
  • Pagination parameters: Providing invalid values for page or perPage may result in unexpected results or errors. Use positive integers.
