Account Setup

You need to create two profiles where the first profile will be of the Merchant having a wallet to be able to receive funds and the other profile will be of Processing which will be used for creating the transactions on the merchant's account wallet.

Merchant profile

To create a merchant profile use the link below where you can find how to do registration, profile updation, KYC, and procedure for merchant requests.

How to Become a Merchant 

Processor profile

A processor profile is required to manage the transactions of the merchant wallet. This processor profile will help the merchant, to secure his wallet by giving only the required access to the processor on the merchant profile. To configure the processor profile use the below-mentioned link where you can find all the steps to configure the processor profile (linking of merchant profile and processor profile, and after that how to give access to the processor profile of the merchant profile).

** You can also use a merchant profile as a processor profile, but this is advisable to have a separate processor profile to manage the transactions to make your main merchant profile secure.

Processor Profile Configuration 

Test profile

To test the merchant account you will have to create a sample/test account which you will use to check if the integration is done properly or not.

Environment & Authentication​

Before starting the integration, the user needs to know about the available environment and authentication methods required for integration. Use the below-mentioned link where you can find details about the available environment, and authentication methods (how to generate token & API key and usage of these).

Environment & Authentication

Deposit Using Xprizo Wallet

To make a deposit, funds are transferred from a user's wallet to the merchant's wallet. This process is done by requesting a payment from the user through the Transaction/RequestPayment endpoint.

Deposit Using Card

Flow​

Steps​

• Create Deposit Transaction Using Card
• Wait for a callback.
• Check status.

After you have called the Transaction/CardDeposit endpoint, a payment request is sent to the Acquirer network to process the card payment. A pending transaction is also created and Xprizo will continue monitoring the Acquirer network until an approval or rejection is received.

If the card is 'Approved' (2DS) then the transaction will be added to the merchant's wallet and the API will return an 'Active' status. No further action is required.

If there is a problem creating the transaction then the API will return a status of 'Rejected'.

It is possible that a card is not processed immediately such as some kind of delay or the user might need to approve the transaction using another device, then a 'Pending' status will be returned.

In the case of 3DS, there could be a redirect to an alternate URL. In this case, a 'Redirect' status and URL is returned.

The Merchant will get updates on the status of the transaction via callbacks. To receive a callback, you will need to request to set this up on your Merchant account (the profile that is used to create this transaction). This can be done by going to settings/preferences and setting the "Approval Webhook" to point to a URL of your choice. You can also set this using Preference/SetApprovalWebhook

A callback will be sent when

• The pending transaction is created.
• The pending transaction is approved
• The pending transaction is rejected

You can use this link to see the response coming on this Webhook.

** You should, however, check the status, after you get a callback to confirm that the transaction was completed successfully. You can use Transaction/Status endpoint to check the status.

Deposit Using MPESA

Deposit Using UPI

Withdrawals

• Create a pending transaction on your system.
• Create and commit a payment transaction on Xprizo and wait for the response. Transaction/SendPayment
  • If you receive an Ok Response (200), then the transaction was successfully processed and you can set your payment transaction as completed.
  • If you receive one of the following error codes (400,401,403,500), then the transaction did not complete and you should cancel your transaction (or correct the problem and try again).
  • If you do not receive a response from Xprizo or a timeout you will need to keep checking Xprizo until you can determine the status of the transaction. Transaction/Status
• Check transaction status
  • Active - Approved
  • Pending – Pending approval
  • NotFound – Timed-out or cancelled

Create, Approve, Check

Use this method if the creation and approval of transactions are not done at the same time. For instance, the platform might initiate the transaction, and the merchant may approve the transaction

With this method, the platform needs to continuously poll Xprizo in case there's no immediate response from Xprizo to confirm whether the transaction was successfully created or not.

Flow

Steps

• Create a pending transaction on your system. 
• Create a payment transaction on Xprizo and wait for the response. Transaction/SendPayment
• Use the key from the returned response to approve the transaction Transaction/Approval or wait for the merchant to approve the transaction (you can only approve the transaction if the merchant gave you full or approval rights to their wallet).
• If you are approving the transaction
  • If you get an OK Response (200) then you should check the status of the transaction. Transaction/Status
• If you will wait for the merchant to approve the transaction
  • and you have set the approval callback option in your settings Preference/SetApprovalWebhook then you will receive a callback once the transaction has been approved
  • and you have NOT set the approval callback option then you will have to keep checking the status of the transaction until it is approved, rejected or expires. Transaction/Status

At any time you can cancel the transaction by calling Transaction/Cancel

Create, Hold, Check

Use this method if you prefer Xprizo to conduct the final check. Xprizo will verify that the transaction has been created on the platform by sending a callback and awaiting a valid response. Depending on the platform's response, Xprizo will either confirm the transaction or cancel it.

By using this method involves Xprizo initiating a transaction and placing it on hold. It will then send a callback to verify whether the platform has successfully updated the transaction on its end. If Xprizo receives a positive response, then the transaction will be completed. If a negative response is received or there is no response within 24 hours, the transaction is voided.

Flow

Steps

• Create a pending transaction on your system
• Create a payment transaction on Xprizo and wait for the response. Transaction/SendPayment 
  • Xprizo will create a transaction marked as ‘Hold’ and return 200 (success)
  • If you get the 200 (success) response then leave your transaction as pending
  • If the transaction failed with any error 400,401,403,500 excluding a timeout mark the transaction as rejected (Xprizo automatically deleted failed transactions)
• Xprizo will a send callback to the platform (make sure you have the "Payment Webhook" setup in Xprizo) Preference/SetApprovalWebhook. 
  • You should now set the transaction on your platform as paid and respond to the callback with 200 (success) response.
  • It is recommended to check the status of the transaction on Xprizo to ensure that is completed Transaction/Status.
  • Xprizo will keep sending callbacks until the platform responds
  • If your platform does not response for 24 hours
    • The transaction is voided
    • Funds released back to the merchant
  • If the platform responds with a success
    • The Hold is removed and the transaction is marked as active
  • If the platform responds with an error
    • The transaction is voided
    • Funds released back to the merchant

This withdrawal method facilitates direct transfers to bank accounts, ensuring seamless transactions between users and their chosen recipients.

Flow

Steps

• Create a pending transaction on your system. 
• Create a withdrawal request on Xprizo using this endpoint Transaction/BankWithdrawal 
• After this the entered amount will be debited from your Xprizo wallet and the withdrawal will be created as a Hold transaction. This Hold transaction will be reviewed by the back office for approval.
  
• If the back office user
  • approves of the transaction will go into the processing and after the successful processing this transaction will be marked as Active and the user will be notified using your approval webhook. You can configure your approval webhook using this Preference/SetApprovalWebhook.
  • rejects the transaction the amount deducted will be reverted back to the user's wallet and the transaction will be marked as Void.
    
  • and you have NOT set the approval callback option then you will have to keep checking the status of the transaction until it is approved, rejected, or expires. Transaction/Status

Xprizo Instant Payments (Payment Link)

Introduction

The Xprizo Instant Payments feature (or Payment Link) allows users to create a shareable payment link by entering the product amount. This link can be shared with both Xprizo and non-Xprizo users, enabling them to make payments via various cards. Additionally, a QR code is generated along with the link for easy transactions. When the link is shared with another user, the specified amount is directly added to that user's wallet, streamlining the payment process and ensuring funds are quickly and securely transferred.

How to create a Payment Link?

To generate a payment link for a product purchase:

• Call the /Item/SetProductRedirectUrl endpoint,
  • set the “id” query param to the id you got from the response of the /Item/ProductList endpoint;
  • set “value” query param to a URL to which user will be redirected on completion of the payment.
• Call the /Item/GetProduct endpoint,
  
  • in the “id” path variable, set the id you got from the response of the /Item/ProductList endpoint;
  • “paymentUrl” in the response is the payment link which the user must click to proceed to the payment.

To complete the payment flow, the user must enter their card details, and click “Proceed to Pay”.

• Once the payment is completed, the user will be redirected to the URL previously set in the call to the /Item/SetProductRedirectUrl endpoint.
