Introduction to Payments
Create and authorize payment
1. Create a new payment
First step is to create a payment entity in QuickPay
Selected parameters. See more in the API documentation.
Parameter | Description | Parameter type | Data type | Required? |
---|---|---|---|---|
order_id | Unique order number | form | string | true |
currency | Currency | form | string | true |
Example request:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
curl -u ':APIKEY \ -H 'content-type:application/json' \ -H 'Accept-Version:v10' \ -X POST \ -d '{"order_id":"pm1001","currency":"dkk"}' \ https://api.quickpay.net/payments |
Example response (snippet):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
{ "id":99685196, "merchant_id":1234, "order_id":"pm1001", "type":"Payment", "currency":"DKK", "state":"initial" ... } |
2. Authorize payment using a link
Next step is to authorize the payment.
The recommended way is to request the QuickPay API for a payment link, where your customer can fill in their card information.
Selected parameters. See more in the API documentation.
Parameter | Description | Parameter type | Data type | Required? |
---|---|---|---|---|
id | Transaction id | path | integer | true |
amount | Amount to authorize | form | integer | true |
Example request:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
curl -u ':APIKEY' \ -H 'content-type:application/json' \ -H 'Accept-Version:v10' \ -X PUT \ -d '{"amount":1000}' \ https://api.quickpay.net/payments/99685196/link |
Example response:
1 2 3 |
{ "url":"https://payment.quickpay.net/payments/b4674ca58c6c8a2afeea105fb1b5ca22293a1dc17fa852afa0495010999c2d00" } |
When your customer has filled in the card information using the link, the payment is now authorized.
No funds are withdrawn from your customer yet.
If you are selling a digital products, you can include "auto_capture":"true"
in the payment link request, to capture the payment automatically after the authorize.
If you are selling a physical product, you can capture the payment using POST /payments/{id}/capture when you are ready to ship the product.
3. Check payment status
Last step is to check the status of the payment.
This could be on a continue-url, where you render a “Payment successful”-message when the payment is complete.
Example request:
1 2 3 4 5 |
curl -u ':APIKEY' \ -H 'content-type:application/json' \ -H 'Accept-Version:v10' \ -X GET \ https://api.quickpay.net/payments/99685196 |
Example response (snippet):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
{ "id":99685196, "merchant_id":1234, "order_id":"pm1001", "accepted":true, "type":"Payment", "state":"new" ... } |
