# Glossary

> Core terms used across the Zeam API Gateway documentation.

**Association**: A Zeam business tenant. Every application and all data are
scoped to one association. You receive its id as `associationId` when you issue
a token and send it as the `x-association-id` header on every protected request.

**Application**: A registered integration bound to one association.
Authenticates with client credentials, not a human login.

**Client ID / client secret**: The credentials exchanged at
[`POST /v1/auth/token`](/authentication/tokens) to obtain an access token.

**Application secret**: The secret sent on every protected request as the
`x-zeam-auth` header. Issued at registration as the `apiKey`.

**Access token**: A short-lived bearer token used in the `Authorization`
header. See [Access tokens](/authentication/tokens).

**Wallet**: An account that holds balances and has a Stellar public key
(`G…`). See the [API reference](/api-reference/introduction).

**Beneficiary**: A saved recipient (individual or business) under an
association.

**Connector**: A payment provider integration for a specific corridor,
exposed via [`GET /v1/connectors`](/api-reference/introduction).

**Corridor**: A combination of country, payment method, and direction
(on-ramp or off-ramp) that a connector serves.

**Quote**: A priced off-ramp offer for a connector and amount, with a rate,
fees, and an expiry. Created with [`POST /v1/quotes`](/api-reference/introduction).

**P2P**: A same-asset, wallet-to-wallet transfer, sent with
[`POST /v1/payments/p2p`](/api-reference/introduction).

**Off-ramp**: A cash-out from a wallet to a real-world payment destination,
executed against a quote with
[`POST /v1/payments/offramp`](/api-reference/introduction).

**Payment**: A P2P transfer, swap, or off-ramp. Submitted asynchronously; the
response returns a `transactionRecordId` with `202 Accepted`.

**Transaction**: The record created by a payment submission, tracked to its
outcome via [`GET /v1/transactions/{transactionId}`](/api-reference/introduction).

**Operation**: A single movement within a payment. The gateway submits one
operation per payment request.

**Webhook**: A registration that delivers payment lifecycle events to your
endpoint. Managed in the business portal or via the API. See
[Webhooks](/webhooks/overview).

**Problem response**: The [RFC 7807](/platform/errors) error format returned as
`application/problem+json`.

**Request ID**: The `X-Request-Id` on every response (mirrored as `requestId`
in problem bodies), used to trace a request in support.
