## Build your payment form for Sofort

Include Sofort 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 Sofort which you can use on your payment form. For more information, refer to [Downloading logos](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only#downloading-logos).

If you are using the [/paymentMethods](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods) request to show available payment methods to the shopper, specify in your request one of the following combinations of [countryCode](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods) and [amount.currency](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods#request-amount):

| Country/region  | `countryCode` | `amount.currency` |
| --------------- | ------------- | ----------------- |
| Austria         | AT            | EUR               |
| Belgium         | BE            | EUR               |
| Germany         | DE            | EUR               |

| The Netherlands | NL            | EUR               |

The [/paymentMethods](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods) response contains `paymentMethod.type`: **directEbanking**.

We provide logos for Sofort which you can use on your payment form. For more information, refer to [Downloading logos](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only#downloading-logos).

Format: the two-letter [ISO-3166-1 alpha-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2) country code. Exception: **QZ** (Kosovo). Include this in the request for a better shopper experience. When the shopper is redirected to Sofort's website, the country/region will be automatically selected from the dropdown list. |
| `shopperLocale`      |                                                                                             | The language that the Sofort page should be rendered in. The page can be the local language (for example, **nl-NL** for the Netherlands) or in **en-US**.                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

In the [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) response, check the `action` object for the information that you must use to redirect the shopper.

**/payments response**

```json
{
  "resultCode":"RedirectShopper",
  "action":{
    "paymentMethodType":"directEbanking",
    "method":"GET",
    "url":"https://checkoutshopper-test.adyen.com/checkoutshopper/checkoutPaymentRedirect?redirectData=...",
    "type":"redirect"
  }
}
```

## Handle the redirect

1. To complete the payment, redirect the shopper to the `action.url` returned in the [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/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](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/sfsafariviewcontroller) for iOS or [Chrome Custom Tabs](https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs) for Android, instead of WebView objects. Also refer to the [security best practices](https://developer.android.com/topic/security/best-practices#webview) 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](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments/details) request, specifying:

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

   **/payments/details request**

   ```bash
   curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v72/payments/details \
   -H 'x-api-key: ADYEN_API_KEY' \
   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
   -d '{
      "details": {
         "redirectResult": "eyJ0cmFuc1N0YXR1cyI6IlkifQ=="
      }
   }'
   ```

3. In the response note the following:

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

   **/payments/details response**

   ```json
   {
      "resultCode": "Authorised",
      "pspReference": "V4HZ4RBFJGXXGN82"
   }
   ```

## Present the payment result

Use the  [resultCode](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments/details#responses-200-resultCode) that you received in the [/payments/details](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments/details) response to present the payment result to your shopper.

The `resultCode` values you can receive for Sofort are:

| resultCode                  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  | Action to take                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| **Authorised**              | The shopper completed their payment, and it has been sent to the bank for processing. In most cases, this means that you will receive the funds. For information on exceptions, refer to [Chargebacks](/payment-methods/sofort#chargebacks). | Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful.                                                                                                                                                                               |

| **AUTHORISATION** | **true**      | The shopper successfully completed the payment. | Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful and proceed with the order. |

## Recurring payments

We support recurring transactions for Sofort through [SEPA Direct Debit](/payment-methods/sepa-direct-debit). To make recurring payments, you need to:

1. [Create a shopper token](#create-a-token).
2. [Use the token to make future payments for the shopper](#make-payment-with-token).

### Create a token

We strongly recommend that you request explicit permission from the shopper if you intend to make recurring SEPA payments. Being transparent about the payment schedule and the charged amount reduces the risk of [chargebacks](/payment-methods/sofort#chargebacks).

To create a token, include in your [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) request:

* `storePaymentMethod`: **true**
* [shopperReference](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments#request-shopperReference): Your unique identifier for the shopper (minimum length three characters).

When the payment has been settled, you receive a [recurring.token.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Tokenization-webhooks/latest/post/recurring.token.created) [webhook](/development-resources/webhooks) containing:

* `type`: **recurring.token.created**
* `shopperReference`: your unique identifier for the shopper.
* `eventId`: the `pspReference` of the initial payment.
* `storedPaymentMethodId`: the token that you need to make recurring payments for this shopper.

Make sure that your server is able to receive the [Recurring tokens life cycle events](/development-resources/webhooks/webhook-types/#other-webhooks) webhook. You can [set up this webhook in your Customer Area](/development-resources/webhooks/#set-up-webhooks-in-your-customer-area).

### Make a payment with a token

To make a payment with the token, include in your [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) request:

* `paymentMethod.storedPaymentMethodId`: The `storedPaymentMethodId` from the [recurring.token.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Tokenization-webhooks/latest/post/recurring.token.created) webhook.

You can also get this value using the [/listRecurringDetails](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Recurring/latest/post/listRecurringDetails) endpoint.

* `shopperReference`: The unique shopper identifier that you specified when creating the token.
* `shopperInteraction`: **ContAuth**.
* `recurringProcessingModel`: **Subscription** or **UnscheduledCardOnFile**.

For more information about the `shopperInteraction` and `recurringProcessingModel` fields, refer to [Tokenization](/online-payments/tokenization/).

## Test and go live

Sofort does not have a specialized test environment. This means that you are redirected to the Sofort live environment even when making a payment from the Adyen test environment.

You can test successful and cancelled payments in EUR for Sofort. For other scenarios, use real payment details and small amounts in your live environment.

### Test a successful payment

To test your integration, use the following details: 

| Bank Name | Account Number  | Country/region | PIN             | TAN                       |
| --------- | --------------- | -------------- | --------------- | ------------------------- |
| DemoBank  | *Use any value* | **DE**         | *Use any value* | *Follow the instructions* |

Using a different bank name (live data) will initiate a real payment. This payment will not be transferred to your account, and is therefore lost. It is not possible to reverse or refund this payment.

1. Set the `paymentMethod` `type` to **directEbanking**. This redirects you to the Sofort page.
2. Under Bank name, select **Demo Bank**, then **Next**.
3. Enter any test login details for **Account number** and **PIN**, and select **Next**.
4. Select an account, then **Next**.
5. Enter any test **TAN** and select **Next**.
6. To check the status of your test payment, go to your [test Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/) > **Transactions** > **Payments**.

### Test a cancelled payment

1. Set the `paymentMethod` `type` to **directEbanking**. This redirects you to the Sofort page.
2. Under Bank name, select **Demo Bank**.
3. Select **Next**.
4. Select the **icon.
5. Select **Cancel payment**.
6. To check the status of your test payment, go to your [test Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/) > **Transactions** > **Payments**.

### Go live

To accept live Sofort payments, you must [submit a request for Sofort](/payment-methods/add-payment-methods) in your [live Customer Area](https://ca-live.adyen.com/).
