# Import an external payment transaction

`POST /payments/external/import`

This is the endpoint to import a transaction on any of the supported providers. Use this endpoint if you have performed transactions on one or more providers outside of Meld, and want to import those transactions into Meld's system. Note that when performing an [external refund](https://docs.meld.io/docs/crypto-supported-service-providers-assets), the initial transaction is automatically imported into Meld's system.
