For the general information on how to use the API, see Payment Page API Description.

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when using the Vietnamese QR banking method:

  1. You must provide values for the basic minimum of parameters. Listed below are the parameters that are mandatory for any payment method:
    • project_id—the project ID obtained from ecommpay
    • payment_id—payment ID unique within the project
    • payment_currency—payment currency in ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
    • payment_amount—payment amount
    • customer_id—customer ID unique within the project
  2. The currency of payment can only be VND.
  3. If you need to have payment form displayed with the Vietnamese QR banking method selected, set the force_payment_method parameter to vietnam-banks-qr.
  4. Additionally it is possible to set the language (English or Vietnamese) of the email with the payment result. By default the Vietnamese language is used. To change it to English, pass en in the parameter customer.language.
  5. If required, you can also add any other additional parameters Payment Page supports.
  6. After you specify all the parameters you need, you must create the signature for the request. For instructions on how to sign a payment request, see Signature generation and verification.

Thus, a correct payment request in the Vietnamese QR banking method must include project, customer, and payment IDs, the currency and the amount of a payment in the appropriate currency, as shown in the following example:

EPayWidget.run(
    { project_id: 0, 
      payment_id: 'X03936', 
      customer_id: 'user123',
      payment_amount: 3 000, 
      payment_currency: 'VND', 
      customer_id: 'customer1',
      signature: "kUi2x9dKHAVNU0FYldJrxh4yo+52Kt8KU+Y1Y4HASCQ9vySO\/RL
                               CvhtT4DqtVUkDJrOcZzUCwX6R\/ekpZhkIQg=="
    }
)

For information about all parameters available in the Vietnamese QR banking method, see Parameters for opening payment form.

For the general information on how to use the API, see Payment Page API Description.

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when using the Vietnamese QR banking method:

  1. You must provide values for the basic minimum of parameters. Listed below are the parameters that are mandatory for any payment method:
    • project_id—the project ID obtained from ecommpay
    • payment_id—payment ID unique within the project
    • payment_currency—payment currency in ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
    • payment_amount—payment amount
    • customer_id—the ID of the customer within the project
  2. Depending on the payment processing provider, it is recommended to specify the email address of the customer in the customer_email additional parameter. If the request is missing the parameter, on Payment Page the additional field is displayed to the customer to input missing data. For more details about clarification, see Submission of additional payment information.
  3. If you need to have payment form displayed with the Vietnamese QR banking method selected, set the force_payment_method parameter to vietnam-banks-qr.
  4. If required, you can also add any other additional parameters Payment Page supports.
  5. After you specify all the parameters you need, you must create the signature for the request. For instructions on how to sign a payment request, see Signature generation and verification.

Thus, a correct payment request in the Vietnamese QR banking method must include project, customer, and payment IDs, the currency and the amount of a payment in the appropriate currency, customer information and signature, as shown in the following example:

EPayWidget.run(
    { payment_id: 'X03936', 
      payment_amount: 300000, 
      payment_currency: 'VND', 
      project_id: 214,
      customer_id: 'customer1', 
      customer_email: 'john@example.com'
      signature: "kUi2x9dKHAVNU0FYldJrxhRLCvhtT4DqtVUkDJrOcZzUCwX6R\/ekpZhkIQg=="
    }
)

For information about all parameters available in the Vietnamese QR banking method, see Parameters for opening payment form.

Callback format

The Vietnamese QR banking method uses the standard format for callbacks to deliver purchase results. For more information, see Callbacks.

The sections that follow discuss in more details the request format and the Gate parameters to use in the Vietnamese QR banking payment method and provide the information on the format of callbacks with purchase results.

Request format

There are several things you must consider when using purchase requests in the Vietnamese QR banking method:
  1. You perform a purchase by sending the request to /v2/payment/banks/vietnam-qr/sale by using HTTP method POST. This is a bank payment request group /v2/payment/banks/{payment_method}/sale
  2. The following objects and parameters must be specified in any request:
    • general—object that contains general request identification 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);
    • payment—object that contains customer information:
      • amount—purchase amount
      • currency—purchase currency in ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
    • customer—object that contains customer information:
      • id—the ID of the customer within the merchant project
      • email—email address
      • ip_address—IP address
    • account—object that contains customer account information:
      • bank_id—bank identifier
  3. The currency of payment can only be VND.
  4. Additionally it is possible to set the language (English or Vietnamese) of the email with the payment result. By default the Vietnamese language is used. To change it to English, pass en in the parameter customer.language.
  5. If required, you can also add any other additional parameters Gate supports.
  6. After you specify all the parameters you need, you must create the signature for the request. For instructions on how to sign a payment request, see Signature generation and verification.

Thus, a correct payment request in the Vietnamese QR banking method must include project and payment IDs, currency and amount of the purchase, customer ID, email, and IP address, bank identifier, as shown in the following example:

Figure: Example of a purchase request

{
    "general": {
        "project_id": 603,
        "payment_id": "test_payment_1",

        "ip_address": "248.121.176.220",
        "id": "123"
    }
}

Formats of the data displayed to customers

To complete the payment, customers must get the payment QR code from you. The QR code data is sent in the callback from the payment platform in the qr_code parameter as an image encoded in Base64. Therefore, before displaying the QR code, you need to accept and process such callback.

This callback is sent from the ecommpay payment platform to the URL specified in the merchant project settings to get the final result not an asynchronous response, as in case with customer redirection data. The payment status in this callback is awaiting customer action until the payment is completed by the customer.

The following is the callback fragment containing payment QR code data.

The sections that follow discuss in more details the request format and the Gate parameters to use in the Vietnamese QR banking payment method and provide the information on the format of callbacks with purchase results.

Request format

There are several things you must consider when using purchase requests in the Vietnamese QR banking method:
  1. You perform purchases by sending the request by using POST (HTTP) method to the /v2/payment/banks/vietnam-qr/sale endpoint. This endpoint belongs to the following group: /v2/payment/banks/{payment_method}/sale.
  2. The following objects and parameters must be specified in any request:
    • Object general—general request identification 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
      • email—email address (depending on the payment processing provider the parameter may not be mandatory, for more information refer to your ecommpay key account manager)
    • Object payment—payment information:
      • amount—purchase amount
      • currency—purchase currency in ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
    • Object account—recipient account information:
      • bank_id—bank identifier (depending on the payment processing provider the parameter may not be mandatory, for more information refer to your ecommpay key account manager)
    • Object return_url—contains the URLs to which customer is redirected after payment processing:
      • success—URL to return customer to the web service after a successful purchase
  3. If required, you can also add any other additional parameters Gate supports.

Thus, a correct payment request in the Vietnamese QR banking method must include project, customer and payment IDs, customer information, signature, currency and amount of the purchase, as shown in the following example:

Figure: Example of a purchase request

        "bank_id": 150
    },
    "return_url": {
      "success": "http://example.com/return"
    }  
}

Formats of the customer redirection data

To redirect a customer from the web service to the Vietnamese QR banking 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 HTML page using the method specified in the redirect_data.method parameter.

The following is the callback fragment containing the redirection data.

{
                    "body": [...],
                    "method": "POST",
                    "url": "http://example.com/redirect"
                }

Callback format

The Vietnamese QR banking method uses the standard format for callbacks to deliver purchase results. For more information, see Callbacks.

Analysis of payments results

As with other payment methods ecommpay offers, when using the Vietnamese QR banking method, you have several options to analyse the information about payments and operations performed by using the method—alone or in conjunction with other methods.

You can load and analyse all the necessary information in Dashboard, for instance you can use the analytic panels on the Analytics tab to this end.

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 and XLS formats—by using the tools on the Payments tab. You can perform export as a one-time download to your local computer or have payment data regularly exported and delivered to email addresses you specify.
  • 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 using the /operations/get queries.

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