Build your payment form for GrabPay

To show GrabPay in your payment form, you need to:

  1. Include GrabPay in the list of available payment methods.
  2. After the shopper selects GrabPay, pass the payment method type to your server:
    • grabpay_MY if the shopper is in Malaysia and is paying with Malaysian Ringgit.
    • grabpay_PH if the shopper is in the Philippines and is paying with Philippine Peso.
    • grabpay_SG if the shopper is in Singapore and is paying with Singapore Dollars.

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

You can also get the paymentMethod.type from the /paymentMethods response as explained in the API-only integration guide. In your /paymentMethods request, specify:

Country/region countryCode amount.currency
Malaysia MY MYR
Singapore SG SGD
Philippines 1 PH PHP

1 GrabPay PayLater is not available in Philippines.

Get the corresponding paymentMethod.type from the response.

Make a payment

Depending on the type of GrabPay payment, Wallet or PayLater, you need to provide different parameters in the /payments request.

Handle the redirect

  1. To complete the payment, redirect the shopper to the action.url returned in the /payments response, taking into account the following recommendations:

    • When using the HTTP GET method:
      For security reasons, when showing the redirect in the app, we recommend that you use SFSafariViewController for iOS or Chrome Custom Tabs for Android, instead of WebView objects. Also refer to the security best practices for WebView.

    • Redirection for mobile integrations:
      For mobile integrations, we strongly recommended that you redirect the shopper to the default browser of their device. Redirecting to the default browser ensures the best compatibility, handling of multi-factor authentication, app-to-app redirection, and error handling.

  2. After the shopper is redirected back to your website, check the payment result by making a POST /payments/details request, specifying:

    • details: object that contains the URL-decoded redirectResult returned when the shopper was redirected back to your site.

  3. In the response note the following:

    • resultCode: use this to present the result to your shopper.
    • pspReference: our unique identifier for the transaction.

For GrabPay PayLater, the response also contains additionalData.paymentMethodVariant — the Adyen sub-variant of the payment method used for the payment request. Possible values:

  • For GrabPay Wallet: grabpay_wallet_SG, grabpay_sg, grabpay_wallet_MY, grabpay_my, grabpay_wallet_PH, grabpay_ph
  • For GrabPay PayLater: grabpay_postpaid_SG, grabpay_instalment4_SG, grabpay_postpaid_MY, grabpay_instalment4_MY.

Present the payment result

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

The resultCode values you can receive for GrabPay are:

resultCode Description Action
Authorised The payment was authorised. You will receive the funds in a number of days. Inform the shopper that the payment was successful.
Cancelled The shopper cancelled the payment before it was completed, for example while in the GrabPay app. Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method.
Refused The payment was refused by the shopper's card issuer. Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method or card.
Pending or
Received		 The shopper has completed the payment but the final result is not yet known. You will receive the final result of the payment in an AUTHORISATION webhook. Inform the shopper that you have received their order, and are waiting for the payment to be processed.

If the shopper closed the browser and failed to return to your website, wait for webhooks to know the outcome of the payment. The webhooks you can receive for GrabPay are:

eventCode success field Description Action to take
AUTHORISATION false The transaction failed. Cancel the order and inform the shopper that the payment failed.
AUTHORISATION true The shopper successfully completed the payment. Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful and proceed with the order.
OFFER_CLOSED true The shopper did not complete the payment. Cancel the order and inform the shopper that the payment timed out.
