Processing scenarios

In the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method, to perform a purchase, you need to redirect the customer to the provider service.

The sections that follow provide more information about what you need to perform payments and how you can analyze payments and operations information.

General information

In the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method, when processing a purchase by using Payment Page, the merchant web service sends a request with all the required parameters and signature to the Monetix URL and accepts the callback with the payment result from the payment platform.

When opening Payment Page, you can have Payment Page opened with the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method pre-selected. (For more information about pre-selecting payment methods, see Preselecting payment methods.)

The full sequence of the purchase workflow is provided below.

The sections that follow discuss in more details the request format and the Payment Page parameters to use in the Bank transfers in Costa Rica payment method and provide the information about the format of callbacks with payment results. For the general information about how to use the Payment Page API, see Payment Page API Description.

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when dealing with purchase requests in the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method:

1. You must provide values for the basic minimum of parameters. Listed below are the parameters that are required for any payment method:
   • project_id—project ID you obtained from Monetix
   • payment_id—payment ID unique within the project
   • customer_id—the unique ID of the customer within your project
   • customer_email—customer email
   • customer_first_name—customer first name
   • customer_last_name—customer last name
   • payment_currency—payment currency in ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
   • payment_amount—payment amount in minor currency units without any decimal point or comma except for cases where the currency does not have any minor currency units. If the currency has no minor units (that is, the number of digits for minor currency units is zero), then you must set this parameter to the amount in the major currency units. For the information on whether the currency has any minor units, see Currency codes.
2. If you need to have the payment form displayed with the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method pre-selected, set the force_payment_method parameter to the code on the bank-transfer-costa-rica payment method.
3. You can also add any other additional parameters Payment Page supports. For more information about parameters supported by Payment Page, see Payment Page invocation parameters.
4. After you specify all the parameters you need, you must create the signature for the request. For instructions on how to sign payment requests, see Signature generation and verification.

Here is an example of the data from a request for the Payment Page opening:

EPayWidget.run(
    {
        project_id: 1234,
        payment_id: 'payment_47',
        customer_id: 'customer_123',
        customer_first_name: 'John',
        customer_last_name: 'Doe',
        customer_email: 'johndoe@example.com',
        payment_currency: 'CRC',
        payment_amount: 1000000,    
        signature: "kUi2x9dKHAVNU0FYldJrxh4yo+52Kt8KU+Y19vySO\/RLUkDJrOcZzUCwX6R\/ekpZhkIQg=="
    }
)

Callback format

The Bank transfers in Costa Rica method uses the standard format for callbacks to deliver purchase results. For more information about callbacks, see Callbacks in Payment Page.

The following is an example of a callback with information about a successful 10,000.00 CRC purchase.

General information

In the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method, the merchant web service is required to do the following when processing a purchase by using Gate:

1. Send a request with all the required parameters and signature to the Monetix URL.
2. Redirect the customer to the provider service.
3. Accept the callback with the payment result from the payment platform.

The following diagram provides the detailed picture of the payment processing procedure.

The sections that follow discuss in more details the request format and the Gate parameters to use in the Bank transfers in Costa Rica payment method and provide the information about the format of callbacks with purchase results. For the general information on how to use the Gate API, see API Description.

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when dealing with purchase requests in the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method:

1. You initiate a purchase by submitting a purchase request to the /v2/payment/bank-transfer/costa-rica/sale endpoint by using the HTTP method POST. This endpoint belongs to the following group of endpoints for the bank transfer payments: /v2/payment/bank-transfer/{payment_method}/sale.
2. The following objects and parameters must be specified in any request:
   • general—object with general request identification information:
     • project_id—the project ID you obtained from Monetix
     • payment_id—payment ID unique within the project
     • signature—signature created after you specify all the required parameters. For more information about signature generation, see Signature generation and verification.
   • customer—object with customer information:
     • id—the unique ID of the customer within your project
     • ip_address—IP address of the customer's device
     • email—customer email
     • first_name—customer first name
     • last_name—customer last name
   • payment—object with purchase information:
     • amount—purchase amount in minor currency units without any decimal point or comma except for cases where the currency does not have any minor currency units. If the currency has no minor units (that is, the number of digits for minor currency units is zero), then you must set this parameter to the amount in the major currency units. For the information on whether the currency has any minor units, see Currency codes.
     • currency—code of the purchase currency in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
3. The following parameters with the return URLs are optional, but we strongly advise you to specify them in the request to provide your customer a better user experience. If you don't specify any parameters of the return_url object in the request, by default Gate will redirect the customer to the URL specified in your project in Monetix.
   • return_url—object with the information where to redirect the customer to when the payment is completed or prematurely terminated by the customer:
     • success—the URL to redirect the customer to after the payment is successfully completed.
     • decline—the URL to redirect the customer to after the payment is declined.
     • return—the URL to redirect the customer to when they prematurely terminate the payment. This URL is also used if the success and decline parameters are not specified in the request.
4. If required, you can add any other additional (optional) parameters Gate supports.

Here is an example of the data from a purchase request in the Bank transfers in Costa Rica method.

{
    "general": {
        "project_id": 1234,
        "payment_id": "payment_47",
        "signature": "PJkV8ej\/UG0Di8hTng6JvC7vQsaC6tajQVVfBaNIipTv+AWoXW\/9MTO8yJA=="
    },
    "customer": {
        "id": "customer_123",
        "ip_address": "198.51.100.47",
        "first_name": "John",
        "last_name": "Doe",
        "email": "johndoe@example.com"
    },
    "payment": {
        "amount": 1000000,
        "currency": "CRC"
    },
      "return_url": {
        "success": "https://example.com/success/",
        "decline": "https://example.com/decline/",
        "return": "https://example.com/return/"
  }

}

Format of customer redirection data

After receiving and processing your purchase request, the payment platform sends a callback to your web service containing the data to redirect the customer to the provider service.

To redirect the customer, use the values of the following parameters in the redirect_data object:

• url—the URL to redirect the customer to
• body—the data to be sent in the request body
• method—the HTTP method to get an HTML page of the website (for example, POST or GET)
• encrypted—this is the service parameter. Ignore the data it contains.

Here is an example of a piece of callback containing the data to redirect the customer.

"redirect_data": {
    "method": "GET",
    "body": [],
    "encrypted": [],
    "url": "https://example.com/redirect"
}

• Synchronous and asynchronous message processing
• Payment types, operations and payments
• Signature generation and verification
• Operation statuses and response codes

As with other payment methods Monetix offers, when using this method, you have several options to analyze the information about payments and operations.

You can load and analyze all the necessary information in Dashboard (dash-light.trxhost.com), for instance you can use the analytic panels in the Analytics section for this purpose.

Also, you can export the information for further analysis by using third party analytical tools. The following options are available:

• Dashboard allows you to download reports in CSV format by using the tools in the Reports section. You can perform export as a one-time or regular download of data to your local computer.
• Data API allows you to have payment information exported in JSON format and delivered to a URL you specify. The payment information is exported by means of sending requests to the /operations/get endpoint.

If you have any further questions regarding payment data analysis, contact Monetix technical support.
