Introduction

The doWebPayment function initialises a web payment before Payline begins payment flow. This allows immediate or deferred full payments, instalments payments, and subscription payments to be made.

Full payments allow you to carry out an authorisation+validation or a simple authorisation. If using simple authorisation, validation (or capture) takes place either automatically by the Payline payment solution, or by the merchant, using webservice calls or via our back office Payline administration centre. This can also be programmed from the authorisation request, always within 7 days, using the batch interface function or the doCapture web service by entering the date of action.

NOTE : With a debit authorization, you have up to 7 days to validate the payment request. Outside of those 7 days, your authorization expires and is no longer valid.

The notifications 

To be informed that your customer has paid once the authorization request has been accepted, even if the customer does not return to your site, fill in the notificationURL field in your point-of-sale settings or when you make a web payment initialisation request. Payline will then contact a page from your site and send back the token linked to the payment in the GET parameter of the HTTP request. This page must be accessible by Internet using the HTTP/S protocol.

When a notification is received, your site must carry out a result request for the notified web payment.

NOTE : If your site cannot be accessed, Payline tries every minute during 2 hours. After this, notification is deactivated. You can find your payments in the Merchant Administration Centre web interface.

Instalments or subscription payment is possible using a virtual wallet. 

Payline takes charge of the creation of a virtual wallet after the validation of data collected at first payment. When the customers make a second purchase on your online store, Payline suggests that they use their virtual wallet. In this case, “one click” payment is used and the customer does not need to enter any payment information.
Payline can manage instalment payments. When payment is carried out, you can be advised by email by activating the “send an email to merchant” option in the Merchant Administration Centre. If there is a problem with payment, Payline tries the transaction 3 times during one week. Each time an attempt fails, you are informed.

Alternative payment method  : this feature allows the merchant, in case of bank refusal, to offer his customers to pay with another means of payment.
This function only applies: for the same order, at the time of the first payment and in the event of a bank refusal. A list of alternative payment methods must have been provided in doWebPayment (secondSelectedContractList).
