Implementation

Using the payment flow in your deposit or checkout experience is simple:

1

Start the session

When it’s time for the customer to pay, start a new session. The session will time out after 15 minutes.

2

Forward the customer

Forward the customer to the redirectUrl provided in the response.

3

Wait for them to return

The customer will complete the payment on the Payment Page and will be forwarded to returnUrl.

4

Verify the payment status

Your page on returnUrl should check the status of the payment. The depositId will be passed as a URL parameter.

5

Handle accordingly

Based on the status of the payment, handle it as a successful, failed or long running payment.
