Vietnamese Online Banking

General information

To process a purchase through Payment Page by using the Vietnamese Online Banking method, the merchant's web service is required to send a request with all required parameters and signature to the ecommpay URL and receive a callback with the result. The full sequence and special aspects of purchase processing are provided below.

Generally, when a customer confirms their intention to pay on the side of the web service, they are redirected to Payment Page where they select the payment method and, in the case of working with the Vietnamese Online Banking method, additionally select one of the available banks. However, in some situations, other options for choosing a payment method and bank may be relevant. For example, upon opening Payment Page, you can immediately redirect the customer to the bank selection page or limit the list of supported banks for a particular payment and display only target bank selection buttons to the customer. The specific option of selecting the payment method and bank is determined depending on the parameters specified in the request for opening Payment Page (details). The following options are available:

• 1—when the payment form is opened, it sequentially displays separate pages for selecting a method and a bank. Then the customer selects the method and the bank (this option is used by default).
• 2—when the payment form is opened, the buttons for selecting other methods and banks supported by this method are displayed on one page. Then the customer selects one of these banks.
• 3—when the payment form is opened, it displays a page with buttons for selecting all available banks for this method. Then the customer selects one of these banks.
• 4—when the payment form is opened, it displays a page with buttons for selecting only specific banks supported by this method. Then the customer selects one of these banks.
• 5—when the payment form is opened, it displays a page requesting confirmation of redirection to the service of the specific bank. Then the customer confirms the redirection.

Information about the formats of requests and callbacks used for processing payments by using the Vietnamese Online Banking method via Payment Page is presented further in this section; general information about working with the Payment Page API is presented in Interaction concepts.

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when sending purchase requests by using the Vietnamese Online Banking method:

1. The following parameters required for any payment must be specified:
   • project_id—project identifier obtained from ecommpay during integration
   • payment_id—payment identifier unique within the project
   • payment_currency—payment currency code in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
   • payment_amount—payment amount in the smallest currency unit
   • customer_id—customer identifier unique within the project
2. The following parameters required for any payment must be specified: project_id, payment_id, payment_currency, payment_amount, customer_id.

3. The following are the bank selection options:

   1. Selecting the method and the bank on Payment Page (1)—the default option, applied if the force_payment_method parameter and the payment_methods_options object are not used.
   2. Selecting a bank among other methods on Payment Page (2)—for this option in the payment_methods_options object specify the online_vietnam_banks object containing the split_banks parameter with the value true:

      "payment_methods_options": "{\"online_vietnam_banks\": {\"split_banks\": true}}"

   3. Selecting a bank among all available ones on Payment Page (3)—for this option specify the method code online-vietnam-banks in the force_payment_method parameter.
   4. Selecting a bank among specific ones on Payment Page (4)—for this option specify the following:
      • the online-vietnam-banks code in the force_payment_method parameter
      • the payment_methods_options object with the online_vietnam_banks object that contains the split_banks parameter with the value true and a banks_id object with an array containing the target bank identifiers:

        "payment_methods_options": "{\"online_vietnam_banks\": {\"split_banks\": true, \"banks_id\": [134, 132]}}"

   5. Confirming redirection to the service of the specific bank on Payment Page (5)—for this option specify the following:
      • the online-vietnam-banks code in the force_payment_method parameter
      • the payment_methods_options object with the online_vietnam_banks object that contains the split_banks parameter with the value true and a banks_id object with an array containing the target bank identifier:

        "payment_methods_options": "{\"online_vietnam_banks\": {\"split_banks\": true, \"banks_id\": [134]}}"

4. Additionally, any other parameters available for working with Payment Page can be used (details).
5. After all target parameters are specified, generate a signature (details).

Thus, a correct request for opening the payment form using the Vietnamese Online Banking method must contain the project identifier, basic payment information (identifier, amount, and currency code), customer identifier and signature.

{
   "project_id": 120,
   "payment_id": "580",
   "payment_amount": 100000,
   "payment_currency": "VND",
   "customer_id": "customer1",
   "signature": "kUi2x9dKHAVNU0FYldOcZzUCwX6R\/ekpZhkIQg=="
}

{
   "project_id": 120,
   "payment_id": "580",
   "payment_amount": 100000,
   "payment_currency": "VND",
   "customer_id": "customer1",
   "signature": "kUi2x9dKHAVNU0FYldOcZzUCwX6R\/ekpZhkIQg=="
}

At the same time, in case of selecting a bank among specific banks (4), the request for opening Payment Page may contain additional data.

{
   "project_id": 120,
   "payment_id": "580",
   "payment_amount": 1000000,
   "payment_currency": "VND",
   "customer_id": "customer1",
   "force_payment_method": "online-vietnam-banks",
   "payment_methods_options": "{\"online_vietnam_banks\": {\"split_banks\": true, \"banks_id\": [134, 132]}}",
   "signature": "kUi2x9dKHAVNU0FYldOcZzUCwX6R\/ekpZhkIQg=="
}

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when sending purchase requests by using the Vietnamese Online Banking method:

1. To initiate each purchase, send a separate POST request to the /v2/payment/banks/vietnam/sale endpoint, which belongs to the group /v2/payment/banks/{payment_method}/sale.
2. The following objects and parameters must be specified in the request:
   • Object general—general purchase information:
     • project_id—the project ID obtained from ecommpay
     • 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
   • Object customer—customer information:
     • id—the unique ID of the customer within your project
     • ip_address—customer IP address
   • Object payment—purchase information:
     • amount—purchase amount in the smallest currency unit
     • currency—purchase currency.
   • Object account—customer account information:
     • bank_id—bank identifier
3. If required, you can also add any other additional parameters Gate supports.

Thus, a correct payment request through the Vietnamese Online Banking method must include project, payment, and bank IDs, customer IP-address, signature, currency and amount of the purchase, as shown in the following example:

 {
    "general": {
        "project_id": 603,
        "payment_id": "test_payment_1",
        "signature": "U5LCm6489ly9cXCKIVBNV0mFr4XiCruECSyQEbT1hSXJ70zuH4s05cFDqLks8ZJMR6iNdlUtm1EdHHdA3D19Qg=="
    },
    "payment": {
        "amount": 3000,
        "currency": "VND"
    },
    "account": {
        "bank_id": 505
    },
    "customer": {
        "id": "123",
        "ip_address": "248.121.176.220"
    }
}

Formats of the customer redirection data

To redirect a customer from the web service to the bank site, you must receive a callback from the payment platform containing the URL for redirection in the redirect_data.url parameter and data to be sent in the request body in the redirect_data.body parameter, and use these parameters when opening the bank’s HTML page using the method specified in the redirect_data.method parameter.

The following is a fragment of a callback containing the redirection data.

{
    "redirect_data": {
                    "body": {},
                    "method": "POST",
                    "url": "http://example.test//payment"
                }
    }
