Requirements

Requirement	Description
Integration type	Make sure that you have built an API-only integration.
Setup steps	Before you begin, add MoMo in your test Customer Area.

Build your payment form for MoMo

Include MoMo in the list of available payment methods. You do not need to collect any information from the shopper in your payment form.

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

If you are using the /paymentMethods to show available payment methods to the shopper, specify the following:

countryCode: VN
amount.currency: VND
amount.value: The value of the payment.
channel: Specify Web, iOS, or Android.

The response contains paymentMethod.type: momo_wallet.

Make a payment

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

paymentMethod.type: momo_wallet

In the  /payments response, note the `action` object. This contains the information needed to redirect the shopper.

<div data-component-wrapper="code-sample">
<code-sample
    :title="'/payments response'"
    :id="''"
    :code-data="[{&quot;language&quot;:&quot;json&quot;,&quot;tabTitle&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;{\n   \&quot;resultCode\&quot;:\&quot;RedirectShopper\&quot;,\n   \&quot;action\&quot;:{\n      \&quot;paymentMethodType\&quot;:\&quot;momo_wallet\&quot;,\n      \&quot;method\&quot;:\&quot;GET\&quot;,\n      \&quot;url\&quot;:\&quot;https:\/\/checkoutshopper-test.adyen.com\/checkoutshopper\/checkoutPaymentRedirect?redirectData=...\&quot;,\n      \&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;redirect\&quot;\n   }\n}&quot;}]"
    :enable-copy-link-to-code-block="true"
    :code-sample-card-size="'fullsize'"
></code-sample>

Handle the redirect

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.
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.
In the response note the following:
- 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 MoMo are:

resultCode	Description	Action to take
Authorised	The payment was successful.	Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful.
Cancelled	The shopper cancelled the payment while on MoMo's website or app.	Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method.
Pending or Received	The shopper has completed the payment but the final result is not yet known.	Inform the shopper that you have received their order, and are waiting for the payment to be completed. To know the final result of the payment, wait for the AUTHORISATION webhook.
Refused	The payment was refused by MoMo Wallet.	Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method.

If the shopper failed to return to your website or app, wait for webhooks to know the outcome of the payment. The webhooks you can receive for MoMo 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.

Recurring payments

MoMo 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.

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.

Test and go live

To make MoMo payments in the test environment:

Download the MoMo test app for iOS or Android at https://test-payment.momo.vn/download/. If you are testing on a mobile browser, you see a link to download the test app. If you are testing on a desktop browser, use the test app to scan the QR code.
Use MoMo's test credentials to log in to the test app. MoMo provides different credentials depending on the scenario that you want to test (for example, failed scenarios).

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

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