API Introduction
Versioning
The API version is indicated in the request URL e.g. /v3/payments
indicates version 3
.
All changes made to the API are backwards compatible, hence any major features that are released,
that would otherwise break existing implementations, will be released using a new version.
Encoding
- Our system expects data to be sent encoded in
UTF-8
. - Using this Content-Type header can help:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Bearer Token
To make API calls, include the access token in the Authorization header with the Bearer authentication scheme.
Parameter/Header | Description | Format | Required |
---|---|---|---|
Authorization Bearer <access-token> | Authorization header with Bearer authentication scheme. Access token can be taken from the backend UI under Administration > Account data > Merchant / Channel Info only if you have specific administration rights. | Header | Required |
HTTP Status Codes
For each request you send to our API the HTTP status code of the response will already tell you the basic result.
Status Code | Description |
---|---|
200 | successful request |
307 | temporary redirect |
400 | bad request. This might either point to e.g. invalid parameters or values sent. It's also returned if the payment failed e.g. because the acquirer declined. |
401 | invalid authorization header provided |
403 | invalid access token provided |
404 | requested resource or endpoint is not found. I.e. endpoint/URL doesn't exist. This can also be caused by typos like POST /v3/payments instead of payments or wrong IDs like GET /v3/payments/{id} where no payment with {id} exists. |
Notifications
Async notifications occur to notify you of a change in status of a payment. That change in status may happen for various reasons, often depending on the brand. For example, an offline invoice payment has been fulfilled or a risk transaction has moved from REVIEW status to ACCEPT. Async notifications can occur while using server-to-server API or checkout page API.
Notification is optional and you should contact your customer support if you needed. The notification message is the same as the response of Inquiry API.
Parameters
Required | Format | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
notificationUrl | Optional | AN2048 [\s\S]{6,2048} | This URL will receive the result of an asynchronous payment. Must be sent URL encoded. |
shopperResultUrl | Conditional | AN2048 [\s\S]{6,2048} | This URL will receive the result of an asynchronous payment. Must be sent URL encoded. |
Result Codes
The result codes are part of the response body containing a code and a description explaining the code.
A result code has the format ddd.ddd.ddd
, i.e. 3 groups of 3-digit numbers. The codes are split into
rough groups by the first number, then into more detailed sub-groups by the second number, then into the
exact code by the third number.
