Unzer

Accept Cards and Click to Pay with UI components v2

Beta

Use Unzer UI component to add Cards and Click To Pay payment to your checkout page.

Overview

Using UI components for Cards and Click to Pay, you get a ready-made form with the fields necessary to make this type of payment. Basic steps for integrating using UI components v2 are the same for all payment methods, and you can read about them here.

Before you begin

Step 1: Add UI components to your payment page
client side

First, you need to initiate our UI components library and add the payment form to your payment page.

Initiate UI components

Load the Unzer JS script

Include the Unzer JS script on your website. This will load all the Unzer custom UI components, prefixed with unzer- e.g <unzer-paylater-invoice>.

Make sure to always include the script directly from the Unzer domain https://static.unzer.com

<script
        type="module"
        src="https://static.unzer.com/v2/ui-components/index.js"
></script>
icon info
Faster load time

To make your website load faster, import the unzer script at the bottom of your HTML document.

Make sure to import the script as type=“module”

icon info
Content security policy
To learn which URLs must be added to the allowlist for Unzer UI components in your content security policy, please refer to Content security policy section.

It is a good practice to put your website in loading state until the Unzer script is loaded, and the UI components are ready to use.

    // Make sure initially your application is in loading state
    // until all Unzer components are loaded
    Promise.all([
        customElements.whenDefined("unzer-payment"),
        // Probably add any other Unzer components used here. For example:
        // customElements.whenDefined("unzer-paylater-invoice"),
    ]).then(() => {
        // Hide the loading state and proceed with next steps
    }).catch((error) => {
        // Handle any error that might occur during the 
        // loading process and initialization
    });

UI setup and configuration

To securely collect payment data from your customer, you need to add the <unzer-payment> component, inside which you insert the needed payment type components.

<unzer-payment
        id="unzer-payment"
        publicKey="s-pub-xyz"
        locale="de-DE">
    <!-- ... Here you will need to add the Unzer payment type tag e.g <unzer-paylater-invoice></unzer-paylater-invoice>, so the form UI elements will be inserted -->
    <!--    <unzer-paylater-invoice></unzer-paylater-invoice>-->
</unzer-payment>
<button type="submit" id="yourPaymentButtonId">Pay</button>

Following parameters need to be passed.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefault value
publicKey (required)StringThe merchant public key.-
localeStringThe used locale. For more information on supported locales, see Localization.Browser user defined locale.
initDataobjectA key/value object in JSON-format containing data to initialize the payment type. For more information, Check payment methods and their features.Empty object {}

Optional: Customize UI components

Our UI Components v2 are provided with a default theme that contains base styles. You can easily customize these styles by overriding the following CSS variables.

Variable nameDescriptionAffected components
--unzer-fontReplaces all fonts with the given font. Users can define any font-face and provide the name of the custom font-face.typography
--unzer-text-colorThe font color use for typography.typography, icons
--unzer-brand-colorThe main color of the application.button, checkbox, radio, loader
--unzer-background-colorThe page background.
--unzer-link-colorThe color of links.link
--unzer-corner-radiusWhether controls will have rounded corners or not. Values can be either 0 or 1.button, tags, chips
--unzer-shadowsWhether shadows are enabled or not. Values can be either 0 or 1.button, card
<head>
    <style>
        :root {
            --unzer-font: SFMono;
            --unzer-brand-color: #ee1818;
            --unzer-text-color: #f19316;
            --unzer-background-color: #6a9472;
            --unzer-link-color: #1330ef;
            --unzer-corner-radius: 0;
            --unzer-shadows: 1;
        }
    </style>
</head>

Add Cards / Click To Pay payment method

To add the Cards / Click To Pay payment method insert unzer-card in the unzer-payment container.

Depending on the merchant configuration, the unzer-card element will either show the normal Cards, or CLick To Pay form.

<unzer-payment 
    publicKey="s-pub-xxxxxxxxxx"
    locale="de-DE">
  <unzer-card></unzer-card>
<unzer-payment>

<unzer-checkout>
    <button type="submit" id="yourPaymentButtonId">Pay</button>
</unzer-checkout>
icon
We recommend putting your submit button inside the <unzer-checkout> element. This will provide automatic handling for enabling/disabling the submit button depending on the current status, as well as showing/hiding of brand icons.

Create a Payment type resource

For the card/ctp payment type resource to be created, you need to query the unzer-payment element and call its submit() method inside the stateChanged event listener.

Promise.all([
    customElements.whenDefined("unzer-payment"),
    customElements.whenDefined("unzer-card"),
]).then(() => {
    const unzerPaymentContainer = document.getElementById('unzer-payment');
    unzerPaymentContainer.addEventListener('stateChanged', (event) => {
      if (event.detail.success) {
        unzerPaymentContainer.submit().then((response) => {
          const paymentId = response.submitResponse.data.id;
          // Submit the id of the created payment type to your
          // backend to perform the payment transaction with it.
        }).catch((error) => {
        // Handle resource creation error
        })
      }
    })
}).catch((error) => {
   // Handle loading and initialization error
});

Step 2: Make a payment
server side

Charge or Authorize

After you create a card resource, you have two options:

  • Option 1: Charge the card directly
  • Option 2: Authorize an amount and charge the card later

Option 1: Charge the card directly

To charge the card directly, make a charge transaction with the card resource that you created in the front end. With a successful charge transaction, money is transferred from the customer to the merchant and a payment resource is created.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/charges
   
Body:
{
  "amount" : "20",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "returnUrl": "https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler",
  "resources" : {
    "typeId" : "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe"
  }
}
$unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$card = $unzer->fetchPaymentType('s-crd-0ajzmaxcuvhc');
$charge = $card->charge(20.0, 'EUR', 'https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler');
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Charge charge = unzer.charge(new BigDecimal("100.0"), Currency.getInstance("EUR"), "s-crd-0ajzmaxcuvhc", new URL("https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler"));

The response looks similar to the following example:

{
    "id": "s-chg-1",
    "isSuccess": false,
    "isPending": true,
    "isError": false,
    "redirectUrl": "https://stg-payment.unzer.com/v1/redirect/crd/s-sGYdGywWpxzW",
    "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": "20.0000",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "returnUrl": "https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler",
    "date": "2021-05-10 00:51:03",
    "resources": {
        "paymentId": "s-pay-131937",
        "traceId": "70ddf3152a798c554d9751a6d77812ae",
        "typeId": "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe"
    },
    "paymentReference": "",
    "processing": {
        "uniqueId": "31HA07BC8157BD2BC04D483EFA914465",
        "shortId": "4845.3426.1987",
        "traceId": "70ddf3152a798c554d9751a6d77812ae"
    }
}

For a full description of the charge transaction, refer to the relevant server-side integration documentation page: Charge a payment (direct API calls), Charge a payment (PHP SDK), Charge a payment (Java SDK).

Option 2: Authorize and then charge the card

To authorize an amount, make an authorize transaction with the card resource that you created in the frontend. With a successful authorize transaction, money is reserved on the customer account and a payment resource is created.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/authorize


 Body:
{
  "amount" : "20",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "returnUrl": "https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler",
  "resources" : {
    "typeId" : "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe"
  }
}
$unzer = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');

$authorization = (new Authorization(20.0, 'EUR', 'https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler'));
$typeId = 's-crd-3qujdbdjas5w';

$unzer->performAuthorization($authorization, $typeId);
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Authorization authorization = unzer.authorize(BigDecimal.valueOf(20), Currency.getInstance("EUR"), "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe", returnUrl);

The response looks similar to the following example:

{
    "id": "s-aut-1",
    "isSuccess": true,
    "isPending": false,
    "isError": false,
    "card3ds": false,
    "redirectUrl": "",
    "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": "20.0000",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "returnUrl": "https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler",
    "date": "2021-06-04 11:19:10",
    "resources": {
        "paymentId": "s-pay-8435",
        "traceId": "8ee5c53960f8b39839b70799fe224d84",
        "typeId": "s-crd-3yx6lamvu2te"
    },
    "paymentReference": "",
    "processing": {
        "uniqueId": "31HA07BC8198C2F9107E0E3536444655",
        "shortId": "4867.3194.9885",
        "traceId": "8ee5c43960f8b39839b70799fe224d84"
    }
}

For a full description of the authorize transaction, please refer to relevant server-side integration documentation page: authorize a payment (direct API calls), Authorize a payment (PHP SDK), Authorize a payment (Java SDK).

To charge the authorized amount, make a charge transaction by referring to the paymentId created with the previous authorize. With a successful charge transaction money is transferred from the customer to the merchant. You can charge the specified amount either partially or fully.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-8435/charges/
   
Body:
{
    "amount": "20",
}
$unzer     = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');

$charge = new Charge(20.00);
$unzer->performChargeOnPayment('s-pay-1', $charge);
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Authorization authorization = unzer.authorize(BigDecimal.valueOf(20), Currency.getInstance("EUR"), "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe", returnUrl);
authorization.charge(BigDecimal.valueOf(20));

The response looks similar to the following example:

{
    "id": "s-chg-1",
    "isSuccess": true,
    "isPending": false,
    "isError": false,
    "card3ds": false,
    "redirectUrl": "",
    "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": "20.0000",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "date": "2021-06-04 11:19:10",
    "resources": {
        "paymentId": "s-pay-8435",
        "traceId": "8ee5c53960f8b39839b70799fe224d84",
        "typeId": "s-crd-3yx6lamvu2te"
    },
    "paymentReference": "",
    "processing": {
        "uniqueId": "31HA07BC8198C2F9107E0E3536444655",
        "shortId": "4867.3194.9885",
        "traceId": "8ee5c43960f8b39839b70799fe224d84"
    }
}

3D Secure

It is possible that 3DS is not applied (see Here) , that means both of the following workflows need to be implemented:

  1. Redirect URL is returned → redirect to redirectUrl.
  2. Redirect URL is not present → ‘manual’ redirect to Return URL to handle the result of the Transaction.

If 3DS challenge is applied, the charge or authorize call returns a redirectUrl. Use this URL to forward the customer to their bank’s 3DS page. The customer enters their credentials on the page and confirms the transaction. After this, they are forwarded to the returnUrl, which is part of the initial transaction request.

If 3DS challenge is not applied, the charge or authorize call won’t return a redirectUrl.

To learn more about 3D Secure and to see a full description of the checkout flow with 3-D Secure, please check 3D Secure page.

Step 3: Check status of the payment
server side

Once the customer is redirected to the returnUrl, you can fetch the payment details from the API, by using the resources.paymentId from the charge response above to handle the payment according to its status. If the status of the payment is completed, the payment process has been finished successfully and can be considered as paid. Check all possible payment states here.

GET https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/{payment_ID}

{
    "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-crd-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"
        }
    ]
}

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 4: Display the payment result
client side

Use the information from the Check status of the payment step to display the payment result to your customer.
This can be the success or error page of your shop. If something went wrong, you can use the client message from the API response and show it to the customer.

Manage payment
server side

After the successful charge or authorize transaction, you can perform additional operations on the payment resource. Below you can see the most important cases for the Card payment type. For a full reference of managing payments please refer to the relevant Server-side integration documentation page: Manage API resources (direct API calls), Manage API resources (PHP SDK), Manage API resources (Java SDK).

Cancel after authorization (Reversal)

Release the reserved money for the customer’s payment method. Currently, it is not possible to have multiple partial cancellations.


POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-1/authorize/cancels
{
}
$unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$payment = $unzer->fetchPayment('s-pay-1');
$unzer->cancelAuthorizationByPayment($payment, 20.00);
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Authorization authorization = unzer.fetchAuthorization('s-pay-1');
Cancel cancel = authorization.cancel();

Charge after authorize

You can charge amounts up to the authorized amount with one or more charge transactions. This is usually the amount from the authorize transaction, but it can change for example if a reversal is done.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-188789/charges

{
  "amount" : "20.00",
  "paymentReference": "Test charge transaction"
}
$unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$charge = $unzer->performChargeOnPayment('s-pay-1', new Charge(20.00));
Unzer unzer = new Unzer(new HttpClientBasedRestCommunication(), "s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Charge charge = unzer.chargeAuthorization("s-pay-1", new BigDecimal("20.00")

Cancel after charge (Refund)

You can refund up to the amount of the received payment. To do this you have to make a cancel transaction on the charge transaction.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-1/charges/s-chg-1/cancels
{
  "amount" : "20.00",
  "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");

Card use cases

Store credentials for future usage and process recurring transactions

To start a recurring payment with the UI components, first you have to create the payment type resource. After this, depending on the use case you want to support, follow the steps as described in the following section.

One click

One-click use cases

  • The customer is initializing a card payment in a web-shop and is storing their card credentials during the initial payment.
  • The customer is using their stored card credentials to initialize a subsequent payment in a web-shop or similar.

To learn more, go to the one-click payment use case page.

Recurring COF, UCOF

Recurring Use cases

  • COF/scheduled
    • The customer is initializing a subscription web-shop or similar and is directly triggering the initial payment by themselves (CIT/customer initiated transaction).
    • The merchant is triggering subsequent payments (MIT/merchant initiated transaction) for this subscription without having the customer in session.
    • Each time, the frequency and amount of the payments (mostly) are the same.

To learn more, go to the scheduled payment use case page.

  • UCOF/unscheduled
    • The customer is initializing a contract in a web-shop or similar and is directly triggering the initial payment by himself (CIT/customer initiated transaction).
    • Merchant is triggering subsequent payments (MIT/merchant initiated transaction) for this contract without having the customer in session.
    • The frequency or the amount of the payments can be different.
    • Examples:
      • Prepaid mobile phone contract, where the merchant is initializing a subsequent payment as soon as the wallet balance falls below a defined threshold.

To learn more, go the unscheduled payment use case page.

There are three types of recurrences:

  • oneclick
  • scheduled
  • unscheduled

Transaction types

After you create a card resource, you have two options:

  • Option 1: Charge the card directly
  • Option 2: Authorize an amount and charge the card later

Option 1: 1-Step - Direct Charge

To charge the card directly, make a charge transaction with the card resource that you created in the front end or directly via the Unzer API and provide the recurrenceType according to your recurring use case.

One-step

With a successful charge transaction, money is transferred from the customer to the merchant and a payment resource is created. Now you can start initializing subsequent charge transactions by referring to the initial card resource and providing the recurrenceType of the initial payment.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/charges
   
Body:
{
  "amount" : "20",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "returnUrl": "https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler",

Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Charge charge = unzer.charge(new BigDecimal("100.0"), Currency.getInstance("EUR"), "s-crd-0ajzmaxcuvhc", new URL("https://www.my-shop-url.de/returnhandler"), RecurrenceType.ONECLICK [ONECLICK, SCHEDULED, UNSCHEDULED]);

The response looks similar to the following example:

        "traceId": "70ddf3152a798c554d9751a6d77812ae"
    }
}

Option 2: 2-Step - Authorize and then charge the card

To authorize an amount, make an Authorize transaction with the card resource that you created in the front end or directly via the Unzer API and provide the recurrenceType according to your recurring use case. With a successful Authorize transaction, money is reserved on the customer account and a payment resource is created.

Two-step

Now you can start initializing subsequent Authorize transactions by referring to the initial card resource and providing the recurrenceType of the initial Payment.

1. Authorize the transaction
POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/authorize


 Body:

      "card": {
          "recurrenceType": "[oneclick, scheduled, unscheduled]"
      }
  }
}
$unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxx');
$authorize= $card->authorize('20.00', 'EUR', 'https://unzer.com', null, null, null, null, null, null, null, RecurrenceTypes::ONE_CLICK);
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Authorization authorization = unzer.authorize(BigDecimal.valueOf(20), Currency.getInstance("EUR"), "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe", returnUrl, RecurrenceType.ONECLICK [ONECLICK, SCHEDULED, UNSCHEDULED]);

The response looks similar to the following example:

    "id": "s-aut-1",
    "isSuccess": true,
    "isPending": false,

2. Charge transaction

To charge the authorized amount, make a Charge transaction by referring to the paymentId created with the previous Authorize. With a successful Charge transaction money is transferred from the customer to the merchant. You can charge the specified amount either partially or fully.

POST https://api.unzer.com/v1/payments/s-pay-8435/charges/
   
Body:
{
    "amount": "20",
}
$unzer     = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$charge = $unzer->performChargeOnPayment('s-pay-1', new Charge(20));
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
Authorization authorization = unzer.authorize(BigDecimal.valueOf(20), Currency.getInstance("EUR"), "s-crd-jldsmlmiprwe", returnUrl);
authorization.charge(BigDecimal.valueOf(20));

The response looks similar to the following example:

{
    "id": "s-aut-1",
    "isSuccess": true,
    "isPending": false,
    "isError": false,
    "card3ds": false,

    },

    "currency": "EUR",
    "date": "2021-06-04 11:19:10",

        "typeId": "s-crd-3yx6lamvu2te"
    },
    "paymentReference": "",
    "processing": {
        "uniqueId": "31HA07BC8198C2F9107E0E3536444655",

        "traceId": "8ee5c43960f8b39839b70799fe224d84"
    }
}

Chargeback

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

$cardData = (new \UnzerSDK\Resources\EmbeddedResources\CardTransactionData())
    ->setExemptionType(\UnzerSDK\Constants\ExemptionType::LOW_VALUE_PAYMENT);

$authorize = (new Authorization(20))
    ->setCardTransactionData($cardData);
$typeId = 's-crd-9wmri5mdlqps';
$unzer->performAuthorization($authorize, $typeId);
Unzer unzer = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
