Server Side Notifications


When the ctrlCallbackURL parameter is present in the merchant payment creation request, after the payment completion, the application issues an HTTP POST request towards this address. The body of this POST request will contain the JSON data structure described in the Payment Status Response section.

The callback script must return a JSON data structure to acknowledge or not the payment status notification. If the data return does not conform with the below JSON structure, the payment will nevertheless be considered acknowledged if the HTTP return code is 20x.

In case automatic status resending is enabled, the status will be regularly posted to the ctrlCallbackURL until it returns a successful HTTP status or a OK JSON status.

The format of the JSON structure to be returned by the callback:

Name Type Description
status String Status of the notification: OK to indicate success. Anything else will be considered as failure.
message String Optional message to give more information about the status.

      // the payment

      // token matches with a previous known transaction. If this check is not done,
      // anyone can manipulate the payment status by providing fake data to this
      // script.
      // For example the merchant token can be stored with the application order
      // system (ctrlCustomData could also be used to authenticate in other ways)

        // the initial operation (submission) is not the final confirmation of the payment,
        // the confirmation is received later as a collection operation, another callback is
