# Pause a tab

`POST /poslink/v1/tabs/{tab_id}/pauses`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.teya.com`
- URL: `https://api.teya.com/poslink/v1/tabs/{tab_id}/pauses`
- Auth: OAuth 2
  - Authorization code: `https://id.teya.com/oauth/v2/oauth-authorize`
  - Token URL: `https://id.teya.com/oauth/v2/oauth-token`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/teya/apis/poslink-api/docs/poslink/v1/tabs/:tab_id/pauses/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Records a pause event on the tab. Strict semantics: only a tab in
`PAYING` status can be paused — pause is a mid-split-payment
operation. On success the tab moves to `PAUSED` and the ePOS
receives a `TAB_PAUSED` SSE event.

## Path parameters

- `tab_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- TerminalIdRequest: Request containing a terminal identifier
  - `terminal_id` string, required: The terminal identifier

## Response `201`

Tab paused; pause event recorded

- PauseTabResponse: Response after pausing a tab
  - `tab_id` string, uuid: Tab identifier
  - `status` 'OPEN' | 'PAYING' | 'PAUSED' | 'COMPLETED' | 'CLOSED': Tab status after pause
  - `total_paid` integer: Total amount paid so far, in the tab's currency
  - `remaining` integer: Remaining amount to be paid, in the tab's currency
