Card – Redirect

When properly set up in your merchant/webshop site and the payer starts the purchase process, you need to make a POST request towards Swedbank Pay with your Purchase information. This will generate a payment object with a unique paymentID. You will receive a redirect URL to a Swedbank Pay payment page.

Step 1: Create A Purchase

A Purchase payment is a straightforward way to charge the card of the payer. It is followed up by posting a capture, cancellation or reversal transaction.

An example of an abbreviated POST request is provided below. Each individual field of the JSON document is described in the following section. An example of an expanded POST request is available in the other features section.

Callback URL: It is mandatory to set a callbackUrl in the POST request creating the payment. When callbackUrl is set, Swedbank Pay will send a POST request to this URL when the payer has fulfilled the payment. Upon receiving this POST request, a subsequent GET request towards the id of the payment generated initially must be made to receive the state of the transaction.

To minimize the risk for a challenge request (Strong Customer Authentication – “SCA”) on card payments, it’s recommended that you add as much data as possible to the riskIndicator object in the request below.

GDPR: GDPR sensitive data such as email, phone numbers and social security numbers must not be used directly in request fields such as payerReference. If it is necessary to use GDPR sensitive data, it must be hashed and then the hash can be used in requests towards Swedbank Pay.

When you receive the redirect url from Swedbank Pay, you redirect the payer there to complete the payment. This ensures that card details and other personal information is entered in a secure environment. Swedbank Pay handles all authentication during this phase.

After an attempted payment, Swedbank Pay will redirect the Payer to one of two specified URLs: completeUrl or cancelUrl.

If the payer cancels at any point, the payer will be redirected to the cancelUrl. If the payment is followed through completely the payer will reach the completeUrl.

Important: Both successful and rejected payments are labeled as completed.

This means that when you reach this point, you need to make sure that the payment has gone through before you let the payer know that the payment was successful. You do this by doing a GET request. This request has to include the payment Id generated from the initial POST request, so that you can receive the state of the transaction.

If you have chosen Seamless View, the completeUrl and cancelUrl will display directly inside the iframe.

Explanations

① rel: redirect-authorization is the name of one of the operations, sent as a response from Swedbank Pay to the Merchant. The href in this operation is the redirect URL to a Swedbank Pay payment page.
② The payer is redirected to a secure Swedbank Pay hosted page
③ The payment window is presented and the payer can enter card information for authorization.
④ If needed, the payer must go through an authorization challenge to verify his or hers identity.
⑤ The Payer reaches the CompleteUrl which you defined in the initial POST request. Please note that both a successful and rejected payment reach completion, in contrast to a cancelled payment.
⑥ Send a GET request with the paymentId to check the state of the transaction. Click the link for a complete list of payment and transaction states.

3-D Secure

No 3-D Secure and card acceptance: There are optional parameters which can be used in relation to 3-D Secure and card acceptance. Most acquiring agreements will demand that you use 3-D Secure for card holder authentication. However, if your agreement allows you to make a card payment without this authentication, or that specific cards can be declined, you may adjust these optional parameters when posting in the payment.

Swedbank Pay will handle 3-D Secure authentication when this is required. When dealing with card payments, 3-D Secure authentication of the cardholder is an essential topic. There are two alternative outcomes of a credit card payment:

3-D Secure enabled - by default, 3-D Secure should be enabled, and Swedbank Pay will check if the card is enrolled with 3-D Secure. This depends on the issuer of the card. If the card is not enrolled with 3-D Secure, no authentication of the cardholder is done.
Card supports 3-D Secure - if the card is enrolled with 3-D Secure, Swedbank Pay will redirect the cardholder to the autentication mechanism that is decided by the issuing bank. Normally this will be done using BankID or Mobile BankID.
