Paytm for API only

Accept Paytm payments using our APIs, and build your own payment form to have full control over the look and feel of your checkout page.

Requirements

Build your payment form for Paytm

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

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

• countryCode: IN
• amount.currency: INR

The response contains paymentMethod.type: paytm.

Make a payment

In your /payments request, specify:

• paymentMethod.type: paytm
• returnUrl: The URL to where the shopper should be taken back to after a redirection.
• shopperReference(optional) : Your unique identifier for the shopper (minimum length three characters).

  For improved conversion rates, we recommend that you pass the shopperReference.

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;paytm\&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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 the /payments/details response to present the payment result to your shopper.

The resultCode values you can receive for Paytm are:

If the shopper failed to return to your website or app, wait for webhooks to know the outcome of the payment:

Test and go live

Before you go live, test your integration using the following credentials:

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

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