Integrate using Hosted Payment Page

Accept payments through a customizable, ready-made payment page on the Unzer hosted website.

Overview

Hosted Payment Page (HPP) is a ready-made Unzer hosted website containing your payment methods mix. When a customer clicks the Pay button in your online shop, they are redirected to the Hosted Payment Page. They can then make the payment using their desired option. After the payment is completed they are redirected back to your shop.

Same as with the EPP, using Hosted Payment Page you can support multiple payment methods with one simple integration. The HPP is the easiest way to integrate with Unzer.

You can check the HPP in action on our demo page.

The Hosted Payment Page is fully responsive, and its user interface can be customized. You can change the images, colors and text, and hide the basket items from the page.

Read this guide for a general overview on how to accept payments with Hosted Payment Page. For a list of all payment methods supported by HPP please check Supported Payment methods.

Before you begin

Check the basic integration requirements.

How it works

To integrate payments using HPP you need to perform steps both on client and server side.

1. First, you need to set up the payment page – create Customer and Basket resources and initialize the payment page on the server side.
2. Using the information form the previous step you can now redirect your customer to the Hosted Payment Page where the payment will take place.
3. After the payment is made you should check its status on the server side and display the result to the customer on the client side
4. You can perform more operations on the server side once the payment has been made – most common example would be cancelling the payment.

Step 1: Set up the payment page

server side

First, you should prepare resources required when initializing the payment page on the server side – customer, basket (recommended), and the metadata resource (optional).

Create Customer resource (recommended)

The customer resource contains information about the customer and is required for the card, Unzer Invoice, Unzer Direct Debit Secured, Unzer Installment, and Klarna payment methods.

We recommend that you always provide the customer resource. To use an existing customer resource, you just need its corresponding customerId. If you don’t have an existing customer resource, you can create it on the server side.

For Unzer Invoice, Unzer Direct Debit Secured, if there is no existing customer resource, built-in customer forms will be displayed on the Embedded Payment Page.

For a full description of customer resource please refer to relevant server-side integration documentation page: Manage customer (direct API calls), Manage customer (PHP SDK), Manage customer (Java SDK).

Create the Basket resource (recommended)

Basket resource stores information about the purchased products, used vouchers, and shipment costs. It is required for Unzer Invoice, Unzer Direct Debit Secured, and Klarna payment methods. We recommend that you always create a basket resource.

unzer.createBasket(basket);

For a full description of basket resource please refer to relevant server-side integration documentation page: Manage basket (direct API calls), Manage basket (PHP SDK), Manage basket (Java SDK).

(Optional) Create metadata

Metadata is the additional information you can append to each payment. By adding metadata, you can store important information about the order or the payment. You can append additional information for each payment. Add the metadata by adding it in the additional resources.

{
...
"resources": {
  "basketId": "s-bsk-1",
  "customerId": "s-cst-1",
  "metadataId": "s-mtd-1",
},
...
}

Step 2: Initialize payment page

server side

Now you can combine the resources with the data about the transaction (amount, currency) and payment page configuration options (return URL, shop name & logo, etc.) to make an initialization call for the payment page.

You can initialize the payment page to support either charge or authorize transactions. For a description of charge and authorize transactions please refer to relevant server-side integration documentation page: Manage API resources (direct API calls), Manage API resources (PHP SDK), Manage API resources (Java SDK).

Option 1: Initialize payment page for the charge transaction

In this case charge transaction will be used during the payment process. Most of the payment methods support charge transaction. You can see the full list on the Payment methods page.

Please note that only payment methods supporting charge transaction, included in your contract will be shown.

You should save the paymentId and redirectURL contained in paypage call response. The redirectUrl is a unique Hosted Payment Page URL, where the customer completes the payment and the paymentId will be needed to check the payment later.

For a full list of parameters, see see API reference for a full list of parameters.

• You need to request a new payment page every time your customer pays. That also includes failed transactions.
• Each payment page expires after 60 minutes.
• Each payment page becomes invalid after a successful payment.
• Each payment page becomes invalid if an unrecoverable error occurs. i.e. payment type creation successful but payment transaction failed.

Initialize for recurring payment

To initialize a payment page for recurring payment, recurrenceType has to be set as listed in Set additional attributes section.

    POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/paypage/{authorize|charge}
Body:
{
  ...
  "additionalAttributes": {
    "recurrenceType": "scheduled"
  },
  ...
}

    // ...
$paypage->setRecurrenceType(\UnzerSDK\Constants\RecurrenceTypes::SCHEDULED); // set additional attribute with direct setter.

// ... initialize the payment page for charge or authorize transaction.

    ...
Map<String, String> additionalAttributes = new HashMap<>();
additionalAttributes.put("recurrenceType", "scheduled");
paypage.setAdditionalAttributes(additionalAttributes);
...

Set additional attributes

Depending on the use-case of your paypage integration you might need to set additionalAtributes as listed below:

Parameter	Description	Example value
effectiveInterestRate	For Unzer Installment you need to provide the effectiveInterestRate parameter in the Authorize call. Positive floating point value allowed.	"4.99"
exemptionType	Exemption type is used for card payment method. Allowed values: "lvp" . See more Low Value Exemptions	"lvp"
recurrenceType	Recurrence type is used for recurring payment. It has an effect on which payment types are available: only card payment type will be available. Allowed values: "scheduled"/"unscheduled". See more at Scheduled payments It is not possible to have exemptionType “lvp” in combination with scheduled or unscheduled. Card transactions will automatically be flagged as oneclick when no recurrenceType is set and the customer selects the “Save my selection for the next purchase” option.	"scheduled"
customerFields.payment-type-name	Allows updating an existing b2c customer using options.fields parameter (See B2C customer - update). In this case, the customer form will only contain the passed input fields. Possible fields values to be passed as a coma separated string. Currently only "birthdate" in combination with "paylater-invoice" is supported "customerFields.paylater-invoice": "birthdate"	"birthdate" "birthdate, name" "birthdate, name, address"

Optional: Exclude payment methods

If you want to exclude some of the payment methods from the Embedded Payment Page, add the array excludeTypes when initializing on the server side. Put all payment types you want to exclude from the page in an array:

    POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/paypage/{authorize|charge}
Body:
{
  ...
  "excludeTypes": ["paypal", "sepa-direct-debit"],
  ...
}

    $unzer = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');

// set mandatory parameters
$paypage = new UnzerSDK\Resources\PaymentTypes\Paypage(100.0, 'EUR', 'https://your.return.url');

// add a single payment type to exclude list
$paypage->addExcludeType(UnzerSDK\Resources\PaymentTypes\Card::getResourceName());
$paypage->addExcludeType(UnzerSDK\Resources\PaymentTypes\Paypal::getResourceName());


// ...or set a list of excluded types
$paypage->setExcludeTypes([
    UnzerSDK\Resources\PaymentTypes\Card::getResourceName(),
    UnzerSDK\Resources\PaymentTypes\Paypal::getResourceName()
]);
// ...

    ...
String[] excludeTypes = {"paypal", "sepa-direct-debit"};
paypage.setExcludeTypes(excludeTypes);
...

For a list of all possible excludeTypes array values, see Payment methods.

Step 3: Forward the customer to the Hosted Payment Page

After you initialized the Hosted Payment Page resource, implement the following flow:

1. Forward the customer to the redirectUrl returned in the response to your initialization request.
2. The customer is forwarded to the Hosted Payment Page.
3. After a successful payment or abort on the Hosted Payment Page, the customer is redirected to the returnURLspecified in the initialization call in step 2.

Step 4: Check payment status

server side

Once the payment is done, the customer will be redirected back to returnURL, that you set in Step 1. Now you can fetch the payment and check its status. Check all possible payment states here.

GET https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/{payment_ID}
Response: 
{
    "id": "s-pay-131937",
    "state": {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "completed"
    },
    "amount": {
        "total": "20.0000",
        "charged": "20.0000",
        "canceled": "0.0000",
        "remaining": "0.0000"
    },
    "currency": "EUR",
    "orderId": "",
    "invoiceId": "",
    "resources": {
        "customerId": "",
        "paymentId": "s-pay-131937",
        "basketId": "",
        "metadataId": "",
        "payPageId": "",
        "traceId": "70ddf3152a798c554d9751a6d77812ae",
        "typeId": "s-eps-grpucjmy5zrk"
    },
    "transactions": [
        {
            "date": "2021-05-10 00:51:03",
            "type": "charge",
            "status": "success",
            "url": "https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-131937/charges/s-chg-1",
            "amount": "20.0000"
        }
    ]
}

You should handle the status according to the payment method used by the customer.

Notifications

We recommend subscribing to the payment event to receive notifications about any changes to the payment resource. As soon as the event is triggered you should fetch the payment and update the order status in your shop according to its status.

  {
    "event":"payment.pending",
    "publicKey":"s-pub-xxxxxxxxxx",
    "retrieveUrl":"https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-774",
    "paymentId":"s-pay-774"
  }

For more details on implementing webhooks to receive notifications, see Notifications page.

Step 5: Display payment result

client side

After the transaction is made you should display its result to the customer in the front end using the information from previous step.

Keep in mind that depending on the payment method used, information relevant for the customer as a part of the success/error message can differ. For example, for Unzer Invoice and Unzer Prepayment you should display payment details to the customer.

Localization

We support localization with locale option parameters. Please check the Localization page on supported locales.

To localize your page, pass a locale parameter to the redirectUrl. When the locale value is set to auto, the language of the customer’s browser is read, and if supported by Unzer, your page is translated to this language. If you pass another language value, this language is always selected, regardless of the browser’s language.

var redirectUrl = returnData.redirectUrl
// Setting the page to always load in German language
redirectUrl += '?locale=de-DE'

// redirect the customer to customized Hosted Payment Page
window.location.href = redirectUrl

Customization

You can customize the following elements of the Hosted Payment Page:

• Images
• Colors
• UI text

Customize the images

You can define some of the images that appear on the Hosted Payment Page. To do that, set the following properties when initializing the payment page in Step 2:

• fullPageImage
• logoImage

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/paypage/{authorize|charge}

{
  ...
  "fullPageImage": "https://full-page-image-url",
  "logoImage": "https://logo-image-url",
  ...
}

    // ...
$paypage->setFullPageImage('https://full-page-image-url');
$paypage->setLogoImage('https://logo-image-url');
// ...

...
paypage.setFullPageImage('https://full-page-image-url')
paypage.setLogoImage('https://logo-image-url')
...

Customize the basket images

You can set individual basket images that show on the Hosted Payment Page. Check the Basket resource documentation page for details: Manage basket (direct API calls), Manage basket (PHP SDK), Manage basket (Java SDK).

Customize the colors

You can customize the colors of the following elements of the Hosted Payment Page:

• The page header.
• The shopDescription element, located under the header.
• For mobile devices only: the backToMerchantLink.

To customize the colors, you can choose one of the two possibilities:

• Pass the color values as the URL parameters of the redirectURL
• pass a CSS object when initializing payment page in Step 2

Passing a CSS object is more versatile and lets you target individual elements of the page.

Option 1: Pass the color values as the URL parameters

You can use this method to change:

• The font color and background color of the header.
• The font color of the shopDescription.
• The font color of the backToMerchantLink

You must change all the three elements together for links, tagline and shopName. You can’t change only one of these elements.

For details on adding the URL parameters, see Add the parameters to a URL.

When changing backgroundColor or fontColor, use only hex color values without # before the color code. For example, use fff for white.

Option 2: Pass a CSS object when initializing payment page

Another way to customize the HPP is to pass a CSS object. This option is more flexible and lets you select individual elements. For the Hosted Payment Page, you can pass values for:

• shopDescription
• header
• shopName
• tagline
• helpUrl
• contactUrl
• backToMerchantLink

For each element, you can change:

• backgroundColor
• fontColor
• fontSize.

To use this option, add the CSS object when initializing payment page in Step 2:

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/paypage/{authorize|charge}

{
  ...
    "css": {
      "shopName": "color: #fff; font-size: 24px",
      "tagline": "color: green; font-size: 10px"
    },
  ...
}

    // ...
$styles = [
  'shopName' => 'color: #fff; font-size: 24px',
  'tagline' => 'color: green; font-size: 10px',
];
$paypage->setCss($styles);
// ...

...
Map<String, String> cssMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
cssMap.put("tagline", "color: blue; font-size: 30px");
cssMap.put("shopName", "color: blue; font-size: 30px");

paypage.setCss(cssMap);
...

• When creating CSS that you send to the backend, use vanilla CSS with camel cased key names.
• If you send several values for an individual element, separate these values with a semicolon ;.
• We recommend testing the UI changes for all device sizes, especially when passing font-size values.
• When you pass styles for the same element through the checkout method and the CSS object, the latter takes precedence.

Customize the text

On the Hosted Payment Page, you can customize the shop name, description, and tagline. To do that, in Step 2 set the following properties:

• shopName
• shopDescription
• tagline

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/paypage/{authorize|charge}

{
  ...
  "shopName": "Any shop name",
  "shopDescription": "Any shop description",
  "tagline": "Any tagline",
  ...
}

    // ...
$paypage->setShopName('Any shop name');
$paypage->setShopDescription('Any shop description');
$paypage->setTagline('Any tagline');
// ...

...
paypage.setShopName("Any shop name");
paypage.setShopDescription("Any shop description");
paypage.setTagline("Any tagline");
...

Manage payment

After you have made a transaction, you can perform additional operations on it. A common example is the cancel operation which can be done for most of the payment methods.

Cancel before money receipt (reversal)

To reduce or cancel a reservation on the customer account, perform a cancel on the initial transaction. An example of reversal would be unblocking the reserved amount on a customer account after they returned a rented car.

POST https://api.heidelpay.com/v1/payments/s-pay-1/authorize/cancels

{
  "amount" : "100.00"
}

    $unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$payment = $unzer->fetchPayment('s-pay-1');
$unzer->cancelAuthorizationByPayment($payment, 100.00);

Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Authorization authorization = unzer.fetchAuthorization('s-pay-1');
Cancel cancel = authorization.cancel();

The response looks similar to the following example:

{
  "id": "s-cnl-1",
  "isSuccess": true,
  "isPending": false,
  "isError": false,
  "card3ds": false,
  "message": {
    "code": "COR.000.100.112",
    "merchant": "Request successfully processed in 'Merchant in Connector Test Mode'",
    "customer": "Your payments have been successfully processed in sandbox mode."
  },
  "amount": "100.0000",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "date": "2021-06-10 10:47:43",
  "resources": {
    "customerId": "",
    "paymentId": "s-pay-1",
    "basketId": "",
    "metadataId": "",
    "payPageId": "",
    "traceId": "d9763d2fdd7830bdd73f76957423f351",
    "typeId": "s-crd-e6f2yo8ggwhg"
  },
  "paymentReference": "",
  "processing": {
    "uniqueId": "31HA07BC8174FCB9564077FB19AEF03B",
    "shortId": "4872.4846.3345",
    "traceId": "d9763d2fdd7830bdd73f76957423f351"
  }
}

Cancel after money receipt (refund)

To refund a payment you need to perform a cancel on a successful charge transaction. This transfers the money back to the customer.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-1/charges/s-chg-1/cancels
{
  "amount" : "12.450",
  "paymentReference": "Test cancel transaction"
}

    $unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$charge = $unzer->fetchChargeById('s-pay-1', 's-chg-1');
$cancel = $charge->cancel();

    Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Cancel cancel = unzer.cancelCharge("s-pay-1", "s-chg-1");

Error handling

All requests to the API can result in an error that should be handled. Refer to the Error handling guide to learn more about Unzer API (and other) errors and handling them.

Test & go live

You should always test your integration before going live. First perform test transactions using test data. Next, check against Integration checklist and Go-live checklist to make sure the integration is complete and you’re ready to go live.
