Bancontact mobile Components

Use our Component to redirect the shopper to the Bancontact app, depending on how they are accessing your site:

• For shoppers on desktop or laptop, the shopper is presented a QR code.
• For shoppers on mobile, the shopper is switched to the Bancontact app. If this fails, the shopper is presented a QR code as a fallback.
• For shoppers on tablet, the shopper is presented with both a QR code and a button to switch to the Bancontact app.

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:

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

Make a payment

1. Make a /payments request with:

   • paymentMethod.type: bcmc_mobile
   • returnURL: The URL where the shopper is redirected back to after completing the payment.

   Sample /payments request:

curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v66/payments \
-H "x-API-key: YOUR_X-API-KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "merchantAccount":"YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT",
  "reference":"YOUR_ORDER_NUMBER",
  "amount":{
    "currency":"EUR",
    "value":1000
  },
  "paymentMethod":{
    "type":"bcmc_mobile"
  },
  "returnUrl":"https://your-company.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy.."
}'

# Set your X-API-KEY with the API key from the Customer Area.
adyen = Adyen::Client.new
adyen.api_key = "YOUR_X-API-KEY"
 
response = adyen.checkout.payments({
  :amount => {
    :currency => "EUR",
    :value => 1000
  },
  :reference => "YOUR_ORDER_NUMBER",
  :paymentMethod => {
    :type => "bcmc_mobile"
  },
  :returnUrl => "https://your-company.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy..",
  :merchantAccount => "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT"
})

// Set YOUR_X-API-KEY with the API key from the Customer Area.
// Change to Environment.LIVE and add the Live URL prefix when you're ready to accept live payments.
    Client client = new Client("YOUR_X-API-KEY", Environment.TEST);
    Checkout checkout = new Checkout(client);

    PaymentsRequest paymentsRequest = new PaymentsRequest();

    String merchantAccount = "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT";
    paymentsRequest.setMerchantAccount(merchantAccount);

    Amount amount = new Amount();
    amount.setCurrency("EUR");
    amount.setValue(15000L);
    paymentsRequest.setAmount(amount);

    DefaultPaymentMethodDetails paymentMethodDetails = new DefaultPaymentMethodDetails();
    paymentMethodDetails.setType("bcmc_mobile");
    paymentsRequest.setPaymentMethod(paymentMethodDetails);

    paymentsRequest.setReference("YOUR_ORDER_NUMBER");
    paymentsRequest.setReturnUrl("https://your-company.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy..");

    PaymentsResponse paymentsResponse = checkout.payments(paymentsRequest);

{
    "resultCode": "Pending",

            "key": "redirectResult",
            "type": "text"
        }
    ]
    ...
}

2. Pass the action object from the /payments response to your front end.

Present the QR code

1. Create a DOM element for Bancontact, placing it where you want the QR code to be rendered:

   <div id="bancontactqr-container"></div>

2. Call createFromAction and pass the action object from the /payments response.

   checkout.createFromAction(action).mount('#bancontactqr-container');

   The Component presents the QR code, or switches the shopper to the Bancontact app. After the shopper completes the payment, or if the shopper fails to complete the payment within the QR code validity period, the Component calls the onAdditionalDetails event .

3. Pass the state.data from the onAdditionalDetails event to your server.

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

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:

Recurring payments

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

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

Create a token

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

• storePaymentMethod: true
• shopperReference: Your unique identifier for the shopper (minimum length three characters).

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.
