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 unzer = new Unzer('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
Shipment shipment = unzer.shipment('s-pay-1');

Transaction Results

The transaction response is stored in the transaction object. It contains a paymentId (for example, 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 status indicates the result of the transaction. Possible values: SUCCESS, PENDING, or ERROR.

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

You can find an example transaction response on the Confirm shipment page.

try {
    Unzer unzer  = new Unzer("s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx");
    Shipment shipment = unzer.shipment(paymentId);

    if (shipment.Status.equals(Shipment.Status.SUCCESS)) {
        this.redirectToSuccess();
    }
    // Transaction has to be pending at this point.
    this.redirectToPending();
} catch (HttpCommunicationException | PaymentException e) {
    // Transaction failed. API returned error resource.
    List<PaymentError> paymentErrorList = e.getPaymentErrorList();
    //Handle API Errors
    
    this.redirectToFailure(); // redirect to the failure page of your shop
} catch (Exception e) {
    merchantMessage = e.getMessage();
}
