PayMe Drop-in integration

Add PayMe to an existing Drop-in integration.

Our Android Drop-in renders PayMe in your payment form, and redirects the shopper to the PayMe app to complete the payment.

PayMe is supported from Android Drop-in version 4.0.0.

Before you begin

This page explains how to add PayMe to your existing Android Drop-in integration. The Android Drop-in integration works the same way for all payment methods. If you haven't done this integration yet, refer to our Drop-in integration guide.

Before starting your PayMe integration:

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

Show PayMe in your payment form

Drop-in uses the countryCode and the amount.currency from your /paymentMethods request to show the available payment methods to your shopper. From your server, make a /paymentMethods request specifying:

Make a payment

When the shopper proceeds to pay, Drop-in returns the paymentComponentData.paymentMethod.

  1. Pass the paymentComponentData.paymentMethod to your server.
  2. From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:

    • paymentMethod: The paymentComponentData.paymentMethod from your client app.
    • returnURL: URL to where the shopper should be redirected back to after they complete the payment. Get this URL from the Component in the RedirectComponent.getReturnUrl(context).

The /payments response contains:

  • action: Object containing information about the redirect.

    {
    "resultCode": "RedirectShopper",
    "action": {
        "expiresAt": "2021-01-30T16:09:09Z",
        "paymentMethodType": "payme",
        "url": "https://qr.payme.hsbc.com.hk/...",
        "method": "GET",
        "type": "redirect"
        }
    }

If your integration is set up correctly, the action object is passed from your server to the client.

  1. Pass the action object to your client app. Drop-in needs this to redirect the shopper to the PayMe app.

See the Android Drop-in integration guide to get the payment outcome and show your shopper the result of the payment.

Test and go live

Use the PayMe sandbox to test your integration. You do not need to use the PayMe app to test using the sandbox.
