Simple Integration Guide - Dynamic Single Use PayID

Suggest Edits

Introduction

A dynamic single-use PayID can only receive a single payment and is useful in situations where your customer makes a one-off purchase for goods or services or pays a single invoice or bill. This PayID can be personalised for a customer, in particular where that customer is known.

A typical use case for this scenario could be that your customers make a purchase on your website or online store or pay you for any other transaction such as:

  • Buying airline tickets online and paying to the PayID you generate.
  • Paying any invoice.
  • Buying electronics or appliances from your online store.
  • Recharging prepaid mobile plans or paying for a postpaid mobile bill


For such scenarios, you will need to create Payment Requests for each transaction. This will dynamically generate unique PayIDs, which they can send payments to from their bank account, and complete the transaction. You must use the PaymentRequest API to generate these unique PayIDs for your customers.

📘

Cancelled transaction

If for some reason, your customers cancel their transaction before paying, the PayIDs that are generated will be deregistered and your customers can no longer pay to it. In rare cases, they do that, they will be instantly refunded. A new unique PayID will be generated if they go through with the payment process again.

Things to consider

We recommend that you consider the following settings before you begin:

  • PayID domain: Your company's domain name that will be used in the PayID that is generated from a Payment Request. Example: [email protected].
  • ClientID: Your unique identifier for creating the request for payment. This is supplied by Azupay and only changes between environments.
  • Client Transaction ID: This is the unique transaction ID that your system must generate for each Payment Request.
  • MultiPayment: This must be set to False for this scenario.
  • Amount: The amount must be set. Any payments to the PayID under or over the set amount will be automatically refunded to the payer. Only an exact payment for the set amount will be accepted.
  • Payment Expiry: You can specify the date and time of the payment request expiry. This is particularly useful when your customers have limited time to pay for their transaction. For instance, they may have 10 minutes to pay for an airline ticket or 30 minutes to pay for an appliance once they have checked out and have landed in the payment page.
  • Payment Description: This is the description of a transaction and will be the last part of the PayID description that appears in the customer's online banking when they lookup the PayID. It must not contain any of the customer's personal information.
  • Payment Notification Endpoint URL: This is the webhook notification URL that Azupay will invoke when the status of an inflight PaymentRequest has reached the "COMPLETE" status.
  • Payer UX: We highly recommend using one of our Checkout App for this. Azupay's PayID Checkout App has been designed to optimise the payer experience using PayID to pay to you. While PayID based payments offer great benefits the experience is new so an optimum UX is important to help your payers complete their journeys successfully. Based on our user research and understanding of payment behaviours, we have designed and tested the App to maximise conversion rate of payments and reduce the integration effort required by you. For more information, see https://developer.azupay.com.au/docs/user-guide.

User Experience Flow

The typical user flow in this scenario will generally follow this pattern:

Step #TitleDescription
1Request creation of PayID/sThis can be done by calling the Payment Request API by considering the above settings
2Present PayIDOn successful creation of PayID, present it to your customers. Consider using our checkout app to present the PayID.
3Correct payment received via PayIDOnce your customers pay, the funds will be credited directly to your settlement account. The PayID will be deregistered.
4Incorrect payment received via PayIDIf an under or over payment is made to the PayID, we will send the funds back to the payer using the original debtor details. Only a payment for the exact set amount will be accepted. This will be reflected in the status of the paymentRequest as a failed attempt with a time-stamp.

API Request

Once you have considered the above settings, pass the Payment Request API. A sample API request body is as per below:

{
  "PaymentRequest": {
    "payID": "[email protected]",
    "clientId": "12345",
    "clientTransactionId": "tx123456",
    "multiPayment": false,
    "paymentAmount": 200,
    "paymentDescription": "apple iphone pro",
    "paymentExpiryDatetime": "04-04-2024-23:59"
  }
}

API Response

Once you've sent the Payment Request API, expect to receive a response from us, which will include the unique PayID that your customer can pay to. 

{
    "PaymentRequest": {
        "clientId": "12345",
        "clientTransactionId": "tx123456",
        "paymentDescription": "apple iphone pro",
        "multiPayment": false,
        "paymentAmount": 200,
        },
        "payID": "[email protected]",
        "checkoutUrl": "https://pay-stg.azupay.com.au/v2/checkout/QVpVUEFZU3VwcG9ydENsaWVudC9kZDdiOTMyMzJkZDllZDlkZjEyOTg5ZmY4MDJiZjVjNi9BWlVQQVkgU3VwcG9ydC9QYXlJRA==",
        "paymentExpiryDatetime": "2024-04-14T00:29:11.900Z"
    },
    "PaymentRequestStatus": {
        "paymentRequestId": "dd7b93232dd9ed9df12989ff802bf5c6",
        "status": "WAITING",
        "createdDateTime": "2024-04-12T00:29:11.900Z"
    }
}
