GrabPay for API only

Accept GrabPay payments using our APIs, and build your own payment form to have full control over the look and feel of your checkout page.

Before you begin

These instructions explain how to add GrabPay to your existing API-only integration. The API-only integration works the same way for all payment methods. If you haven't done this integration yet, refer to our API-only integration guide.

Before starting your GrabPay integration:

1. Make sure that you have set up your back end implementation.
2. Add GrabPay in your test Customer Area.

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.

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

Get the corresponding paymentMethod.type from the response.

Make a payment

In your /payments request, specify:

• paymentMethod.type: grabpay_XX, where XX is the country code. You can also refer to the /paymentMethods response you received.
• returnUrl: The URL where the shopper will be redirected back to after they complete the payment.

The /payments response contains:

• action.url: Link to where you should redirect your shopper.
• action.method: GET or POST. The HTTP request method that you should use. After the shopper completes the payment, they will be redirected back to your returnURL using the same method.
  The redirect method depends on your payment method configuration and the length of the data included in the request, so make sure that your integration can handle both HTTP GET and HTTP POST methods.

To verify the payment result in the next step, you also need the following from the /payments response:

• action.paymentData: The paymentData value that you send in your /payments/details request.
• details: Array of parameters that you need to send in your /payments/details request. For example, payload or redirectResult.
  The parameters can vary based on the payment method configuration. Always check the details array for the parameters that you need to send in your next API request.

Handle the redirect

To complete a GrabPay payment, you need to redirect the shopper to GrabPay.

1. To complete the payment, redirect the shopper to the action.url returned in the /payments response.
   When using the HTTP GET method:
   For security reasons, when displaying 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.
2. After the shopper is redirected back to your website or app, 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 website or app. For example, payload or redirectResult.
   The parameters can vary based on the payment method configuration. To check which parameters you should submit, always check the details array from the /payments response.

        }
   }

   You receive a response containing:
   • resultCode: Use this to present the 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.

The resultCode values you can receive for GrabPay are:

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

Recurring payments

To make recurring GrabPay payments:

1. In your initial payment request, create a shopper token specifying:
   • storePaymentMethod: true
   • shopperReference: Your unique identifier for the shopper.
   • shopperInteraction: Ecommerce
2. When you make a /payments/details request after the shopper is redirected back to your website or app, save the recurringDetailReference that you receive in the additionalData of the response. This is your token.
3. Make subsequent recurring transactions specifying a paymentMethod with:
   • type: The GrabPay type, for example grabpay_SG.
   • recurringDetailReference: The token you received in the /payments/details response.

Refer to Tokenization for more information and detailed instructions.

Test and go live

To test your GrabPay integration:

1. Contact our Support Team to register for a GrabPay test wallet. You'll need to fill out a form and provide a phone number (local or international) and an email address. Note that the wallet will have a balance limit depending on the wallet regulations in each market.
2. In the simulator, log in to Grab with the phone number you registered, and specify the one-time password you receive on that phone number.

Check the status of the GrabPay test payments in your Customer Area > Transactions > Payments.

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