Retrieve all terminal actions:

SELECT * FROM TerminalActions

Retrieve a specific terminal action:

SELECT * FROM TerminalActions WHERE Id = 'action_id_here'

Retrieve terminal actions for a specific device:

Insert

To create a terminal action, you must specify the DeviceId, Type, and IdempotencyKey columns.

INSERT INTO TerminalActions (DeviceId, Type, IdempotencyKey) VALUES ('DEVICE_ID', 'PING', 'unique-idempotency-key')

To create a CHECKOUT terminal action, specify CheckoutOptions with at least amount_money:

INSERT INTO TerminalActions (DeviceId, IdempotencyKey, Type, DeadlineDuration, CheckoutOptions) VALUES ('DEVICE_ID', 'unique-idempotency-key', 'CHECKOUT', 'PT5M', '{"amount_money":{"amount":100,"currency":"USD"}}')
