Make a payment

When the shopper proceeds to pay, you need to:

  1. From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:

    • paymentMethod.type: Set this to giropay.
    • returnURL: URL to where the shopper should be redirected back to after they complete the payment. This URL can have a maximum of 1024 characters. Get this URL from the Component in the RedirectComponent.getReturnUrl(context).

    In the /payments response, check the action object for the information that you must use to redirect the shopper.

  2. Pass the action object to your client app. You need this to initialize the Redirect Component.

Handle the redirect

  1. Use the Redirect Component to redirect the shopper to giropay's website where they can select their bank and provide their account details. When the shopper returns back to your app, the Redirect Component provides the actionComponentData object.

  2. After the shopper returns to your app, make a POST /payments/details request from your server, providing:

    • details: The actionComponentData.details object from the Redirect Component.

You receive a response containing:

  • resultCode: Use this to present the payment result to your shopper.
  • pspReference: Our unique identifier for the transaction.

Present the payment result

Use the  resultCode that you received in the /payments/details response to present the payment result to your shopper.

Refused The payment was refused by the shopper's bank. Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method.
For a description of the refusal reason, check the Payment Details page in your Customer Area.
