Bancontact mobile Component

This page explains how to add Bancontact mobile to your existing Web Components integration.

Use our Component to redirect the shopper to the Bancontact app, depending on how they are accessing your site:

• For shoppers on desktop or laptop, the shopper is presented a QR code.
• For shoppers on mobile, the shopper is switched to the Bancontact app. If this fails, the shopper is presented a QR code as a fallback.
• For shoppers on tablet, the shopper is presented with both a QR code and a button to switch to the Bancontact app.

Requirements

API reference

You do not need to send additional fields for Bancontact mobile. To see optional fields that you can send for all payment methods, choose the endpoint you integrated:

• /sessions: This is the default with Components v5.0.0 or later.
• /payments: If you implemented an additional use case.

Component configuration

Step 1: Create a DOM element

Create a DOM element on your checkout page, placing it where you want the payment method form to be rendered:

 <div id="bcmc_mobile-container"></div>

Step 2: Create an instance of the Component

v6.0.0 or later

Create an instance of the Component, passing:

• Your instance of AdyenCheckout.

const bcmcMobile = new (checkout).mount('#bcmc_mobile-container');

const bcmcMobileComponent = checkout.create('bcmc_mobile').mount('#bcmc_mobile-container');

Recurring

We support recurring transactions for Bancontact through SEPA Direct Debit. To make recurring payments, you need to:

1. Create a shopper token.
2. Use the token to make future payments for the shopper.

Create a token

To create a token, include in your /sessions or /payments request:

• storePaymentMethod: true
• shopperReference: Your unique identifier for the shopper (minimum length three characters).

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 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. You can also get this value by using the /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.

Test and go live

Bancontact does not have a test platform, but you can simulate authorized or declined payments.

To simulate authorized or declined payments, make a test payment using the following last three digits for the payment amount:

Any other scenarios must be tested in the live environment using real payment details and small amounts.

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