This tutorial explains how to build your own integration using our API, and how to create orders and track their progress via our webhook.

Prerequisites

You must first:

1. Create a test account.
2. Set up your account.
3. Get your website API key.

To authenticate requests, you must include your API key as a query parameter in the request URL.

Customize your checkout

When integrating our API, you can fully customize your checkout solution:

• Use our payment components, allowing you to fully embed payment methods into your checkout.
• Integrate QR payment into the checkout.
• Create payment links via API, redirecting your customers directly to the payment page.

All integrations support direct or redirect solutions:

• Direct requests connect directly to the payment methods environment. When type is direct , setting a gateway is required. Not setting a gateway will return an error in the response.
• Redirect requests first send the customer to our payment page before connecting to the payment method. If you include the gateway of a payment method, only that payment method will be displayed. Not adding any gateways will display all payment methods activated for your account.

For more information, see request types.

Follow these steps before starting to process payments:

1. Create a test order

MultiSafepay provides a RESTful API you can access with HTTP requests to manage your data. We support data in JSON format only.

The most important data element in our API is the order, which can be linked to multiple transactions.

For our test environment, make use of our TEST API, and use your API key from your TEST account:

https://testapi.multisafepay.com/v1/json/orders?api_key={your-test-api-key}

To create a test order, follow these steps:

1. Make a create an order request. Enter the required fields:

   • Specify the payment flow. Set the order type to direct or redirect.
   • Enter the gateway ID to test a specific payment method, or leave the field empty to display all payment methods activated for your TEST account.
   • Set an order_id. This value must be unique.
   • Set your preferred currency. Check each payment method to learn what currencies are supported.
   • Set an amount.
   • Give the order a description.
   
   

2. Check that you receive a response with success set to true.

3. Open the payment_url to complete payment on the payment page.

If you receive an error in the response, see Troubleshooting.

Testing payment methods

To test each payment method, see Testing payment methods - Test payment details. If this is your first time, we recommend following the steps for iDEAL.

2. Set up a webhook

You can set up a webhook for your orders to track the order status(the order status) and financial_status (the transaction status).

To understand how orders are progressing, we recommend tracking their status. This way, you don't have to continually poll our server to check for updates to your orders. We provide a webhook to send you notifications automatically.

To learn how to configure your webhook endpoint and handle notifications, see Webhook.

For information about all possible statuses, see Payment statuses.

3. Go live

Once you're done testing your integration, change your API URL and key from your TEST account to your LIVE account.

https://api.multisafepay.com/v1/json/

API endpoints

Check our API reference page to access our API endpoint collection.

Basic endpoints:

• Create order - Create orders using payment methods activated for your account.
• Get order - Retrieve information about a completed transaction.
