Specify in your /paymentMethods request:
- countryCode: KR

Make a payment

When the shopper proceeds to pay, you need to:

From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:
- paymentMethod.type: Set this to kakaopay.
- 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, note the action object. This contains the information needed to redirect the shopper.

Pass the action object to your client app.

Handle the redirect

Use the Redirect Component to redirect the shopper to KakaoPay.
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.

The resultCode values you can receive for KakaoPay are:

Recurring payments

KakaoPay supports recurring transactions. To make recurring transactions, you need to:

Create a shopper token.
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.

This triggers the recurring flow, where the shopper logs in to their Kakao account, then confirms the recurring transaction.

When the payment has been settled, you receive a 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 sure that your server is able to receive RECURRING_CONTRACT as part of your standard webhooks. You can enable the RECURRING_CONTRACT event code in the webhook settings page.

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 webhook.

You can also get this value using the /listRecurringDetails endpoint.
shopperReference: The unique shopper identifier that you specified when creating the token.
shopperInteraction: ContAuth
recurringProcessingModel: Use Subscription for a series of transactions following a fixed time interval or UnscheduledCardOnFile for contracts with non-fixed time interval.
