Bancontact mobile Components

Add Bancontact mobile payments to an existing Components integration.

Use our Components to redirect your shopper to the Bancontact app, or to present a QR code.

Before you begin

This page explains how to add Bancontact to your existing Web Components integration. The Web Components integration works the same way for all payment methods. If you haven't done this integration yet, refer to our Components integration guide.

Before starting your Bancontact integration:

Make sure that you have set up your back end implementation, and created an instance of AdyenCheckout.
Add Bancontact in your test Customer Area.

Show Bancontact in your payment form

Include Bancontact in the list of available payment methods. You don't need to collect any information from the shopper in your payment form.

If you're using the /paymentMethods endpoint to show which payment methods are available to the shopper, specify in your request:

countryCode: BE.
amount.currency: EUR.

The response contains:

paymentMethod.type: bcmc_mobile_QR
paymentMethod.type: bcmc_mobile_app

We provide a Bancontact logo which you can use on your payment form. For more information, refer to Downloading logos.

Make a payment

When a shopper chooses to pay with Bancontact mobile, you need to redirect them to the Bancontact app, depending on how they are accessing your site:

For shoppers on mobile, present a button that redirects to the Bancontact app.
For shoppers on desktop or laptop, present a QR code.

We recommend that you use screen size to determine whether the shopper is accessing your site on mobile or desktop.

When the shopper selects to pay with Bancontact, make a /payments request with:
- paymentMethod.type: Specify bcmc_mobile_QR to present a QR code, or bcmc_mobile_app to redirect to the Bancontact app.
- returnURL: For paymentMethod.type: bcmc_mobile_app, this is the URL where the shopper is redirected back to after completing the payment.

Sample request to present a QR code:

/payments response

{
    "resultCode": "PresentToShopper",
    "action": {
        "paymentData": "Ab02b4c0!BQABAgCpM2q6...==",
        "paymentMethodType": "bcmc_mobile_QR",
        "qrCodeData": "BEP://1bcmc-test.adyen.com/pal/bep$RYB4BPBNXDTVG3PLKTXV5OVE",
        "type": "qrCode"
    },
    "details": [
        {
            "key": "payload",
            "type": "text"
        }
    ]
    ...
}

Pass the action object from the /payments response to your front end. Your next steps depend on the paymentMethod.type that you specified in the /payments request:

bcmc_mobile_QR: Present the QR code to the shopper.
bcmc_mobile_app: Redirect the shopper to the Bancontact app.

Present the QR code

Create a DOM element for Bancontact, placing it where you want the QR code to be rendered:
```
<div id="bancontactqr-container"></div>
```
Call createFromAction and pass the action object from the /payments response.
```
checkout.createFromAction(action).mount('#bancontactqr-container');
```
The Component presents the QR code and calls the onAdditionalDetails event after the shopper completes the payment, or if the shopper fails to complete the payment within the QR code validity period.
Pass the state.data from the onAdditionalDetails event to your server.

To check the payment result, make a /payments/details request with the state.data from the Component.

const checkout = new CheckoutAPI(client);
checkout.paymentsDetails({
    details: {DROPIN_DATA}  // Data object passed from onAdditionalDetails event of the front end
}).then(res => res);

Redirect shopper

Call createFromAction and pass the action object from the previous step. This will return a new Component that you need to mount:
```
   checkout.createFromAction(action).mount('#my-container');
```
The Component redirects the shopper the Bancontact app where they complete the payment.
After the shopper is redirected back to your website, check the payment result by making a /payments/details request, specifying:
- paymentData: Value you received in the /payments response.
- details: Object that contains the URL-decoded values of the parameters that were returned when the shopper was redirected back to your site. For example, payload. To check the parameters that you should submit, refer to the details array that you received in the /payments response.
https://docs.adyen.com/payment-methods/gcash/web-component#-payments-details-request
/payments/details request
{ "paymentData":"Ab02b4c0!BQABAgCJN1wRZuGJmq8dMncmypvknj9s7l5Tj...", "details":{ "{hint:Verify the parameters from /payments response}payload{/hint}":"Ab02b4c0!BQABAgCW5sxB4e/==" } }
You receive a response containing:
- resultCode: Use this to present the result to your shopper.
- pspReference: Our unique identifier for the transaction.
https://docs.adyen.com/payment-methods/gcash/web-component#-payments-details-response
/payments/details response
{ "resultCode": "Authorised", "pspReference": "88154795347618C" }

For more information and detailed instructions, refer to Handling the redirect result.

Present the payment result

Use the resultCode from the /payments/details response to present the payment result to your shopper. You will also receive the outcome of the payment asynchronously in a notification webhook.

For Bancontact payments, you can receive the following resultCode values:

resultCode	Description	Action to take
Authorised	The payment was successful.	Inform the shopper that the payment was successful.
Cancelled	The shopper cancelled the payment.	Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method.
Error	There was an error when the payment was being processed. For more information, check the `refusalReason` field.	Inform the shopper that there was an error processing their payment.
Pending Received	The payment order was successfully received.	Inform the shopper that you've received their order, and are waiting for the payment to clear. You will receive the final result of the payment in an AUTHORISATION notification.
Refused	The payment was refused. For more information, check the `refusalReason` field.	Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method.

Recurring payments

We support recurring transactions for Bancontact through SEPA Direct Debit. To make recurring payments, you need to:

Create a shopper token.
Use the token to make future payments for the shopper.

Create a token

We strongly recommend that you request explicit permission from the shopper if you intend to make recurring SEPA payments. Being transparent about the payment schedule and the charged amount reduces the risk of chargebacks.

To create a token, include in your /payments request:

storePaymentMethod: true
shopperReference: Your unique identifier for the shopper.

When the payment has been settled, you receive a notification webhook containing:

eventCode: RECURRING_CONTRACT
originalReference: The pspReference of the initial payment.
pspReference: This is the token that you need to make recurring payments for this shopper.

Make a payment with a token

To make a payment with the token, include in your /payments request:

paymentMethod.storedPaymentMethodId: The pspReference from the RECURRING_CONTRACT.

You can also get this value by using the /listRecurringDetails endpoint.

shopperReference: The unique shopper identifier that you specified when creating the token.
shopperInteraction: ContAuth.
recurringProcessingModel: Subscription or UnscheduledCardOnFile.

For more information about the shopperInteraction and recurringProcessingModel fields, refer to Recurring transaction types.

Test and go live

Bancontact currently has no test platform. If you have a personal Bancontact account you can test your integration by either:

Making live payments with a low value.
Cancelling the transaction when you are asked to verify the payment.

Before you can accept live payments, you need to submit a request for Bancontact in your live Customer Area.
