Unzer

[Deprecated] Confirm shipment

Confirm shipping your goods to the customer and activate the insurance.

Shipment is the process of sending the goods to the customer. Once you have sent the goods, you must confirm the shipment to activate the insurance requested in the previous /charge request. The customer now has 40 days after this date to make the payment. You receive the money regardless of whether the customer pays or not.

Shipment is available for Unzer Invoice Secured and Unzer Installment.

To confirm a shipment, you can call the ship method of the unzer or payment object.

Your invoice payments are only paid out if you send a shipping transaction.

For a full list of the ship request parameter, please refer to API reference.

$unzer    = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$payment  = $unzer->fetchPayment('s-pay-1');
$shipment = $unzer->ship($payment);
$unzer    = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$payment  = $unzer->fetchPayment('s-pay-1');
$shipment = $payment->ship();

Transaction Results

The transaction response will be stored in the transaction object. It contains a paymentId (e.g s-pay-1) the transactionId and other properties of the response. The transaction object provides getter functions to access those properties. For example, $shipment->getPaymentId()

The parameters isSuccess, isPending, isError indicate the result of the transaction. Only one of these three can be true.

If a transaction fails, the Unzer API will return an error resource instead of a transaction. In the SDK this is handled as an UnzerApiException. Make sure to catch that case properly.

For an example transaction, see Confirm shipment.

try {
    $unzer     = new UnzerSDK\Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
    $payment = $unzer->fetchPayment($paymentId);
    $shipment = $payment->ship();

    if ($shipment ->isSuccess) {
        $this->redirectToSuccess();
    }
    // Transaction has to be pending at this point.
    $this->redirectToPending();
} catch (UnzerApiException $e) {
    // Transaction failed. API returned error resource.
    $this->log($e->getClientMessage());
    $this->log($e->getMerchantMessage());
    $this->redirectToFailure(); // redirect to the failure page of your shop
} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
    $merchantMessage = $e->getMessage();
}

Cancel after shipment

If the customer requests a refund or cancels the order, you can execute a cancel and this amount is deducted from the transaction amount. You must always specify the reason code for a cancel.

Possible reason codes are:

reasonCodeDescription
CANCELYou can use CANCEL if you like to cancel a remaining amount, for instance if you are not going to ship certain goods.
RETURNRETURN is used, if you like to refund a certain amount for goods the customer returned to you.
CREDITCREDIT can be used if you like to reduce the order amount after goods are shipped for example, to grant a discount for defect goods.
