Build your payment form for Zip

Zip requires additional shopper details to perform risk checks. When making a Zip payment, you also need to provide the following shopper details:

Shopper detail	Required	Description
Full name		The shopper's first name and last name.
Gender		The shopper's gender, if specified.
Email		The shopper's email address.
Date of birth		The shopper's date of birth, if specified.
Telephone number		The shopper's telephone number, if specified.
The billing address		The postal address to be included on the invoice.
The shopper's delivery preference		The shopper's preference: if they want to use Zip's Click and Collect, or have the goods delivered to them.
The delivery address		The postal address where the goods will be delivered. Required only when the shopper prefers that the goods are delivered to them.

With Zip, the shopper also can have the option to choose Click and Collect, where they pick up and collect their order from a store instead of having the goods delivered to them.

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

• countryCode: AU
• amount.currency: AUD
• amount.value: The value of the payment.
• channel: Specify Web, iOS, or Android.

The response contains paymentMethod.type: zip.

Select a tab below to for payment request samples depending on the shopper's choice:

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;zip\&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 in the /payments/details response to present the payment result to your shopper.

The resultCode values you can receive for Zip 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 Zip's website.	Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method.
Error	There was an error when the payment was being processed.	Inform the shopper that there was an error processing their payment. The response contains a refusalReason, indicating the cause of the error.
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 Zip.	Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method.

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

We support recurring transactions for Zip. 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 /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 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 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.
