# Non-cash payment

**Non-cash payment** is a method of paying delivery charges under the client’s logistics agreement with Nova Post. To use this payment method, the client must have a signed logistics agreement that includes cashless payment terms.

#### **Through the API, cashless payment is configured during shipment creation using two fields:**

| Field name          | Description                                                                                                                    |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| payerType           | <p>Defines the payer of delivery services. Available values:</p><ul><li>Sender</li><li>Recipient</li><li>ThirdPerson</li></ul> |
| payerContractNumber | Contract number of the payer for non-cash payment.                                                                             |

```
