SafetyPay with Direct API

About this guide

This page explains how to add SafetyPay to your existing Direct API integration. Direct API integration is basically the same for all payment methods, only varying the payment_type_code and some additional required fields.

If you are not integrated with EBANX Direct API yet, please take a look in this basic guide about it. Are you not sure if EBANX Direct API is the best option for your e-commerce? Please, talk with one of our integration specialists.

What you will need

Before starting your integration, please make sure that you have:

  1. An EBANX Sandbox account. That's not the case? Please sign up for an Sandbox Account here;
  2. SafetyPay enabled in your EBANX Dashboard.

How it works

To complete SafetyPay integration through EBANX Direct API, please follow the steps below.

  1. Enable SafetyPay

    SafetyPay availability may vary depending on your contract. So the first step is to check if it is active in your EBANX Dashboard.

    All set? We can go ahead to next step, otherwise, please get in touch with our integration specialists.

  2. Call the /ws/direct end-point to get the SafetyPay link (server-side)

    With SafetyPay, your consumers are redirected to a third-party website and the payment is made safely and quickly. To get this redirection link, you just need to call the end-point ws/direct (server-side) with the following required fields:

    Basic parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    operationOperation must be request
    integration_keyYour unique and secret integration key
    payment_type_codeTo SafetyPay must be safetypay-cash to SafetyPay Cash or safetypay-online to SafetyPay Online
    countryTwo-letter country code - ec for Ecuador.
    info

    Both SafetyPay Cash and SafetyPay Online will be a redirect and will work in the same way.

    Customer data:

    Charge parameters:

    ParameterDescription

    Check the example:

    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{
    "integration_key": "{{integratio_key}}",
    "operation": "request",
    "payment": {
    "name": "José Silva",
    "email": "josesilvaEcuador@example.com",

    "amount_total": "100"
    }
    }'

    A successful request will return a JSON response like the one below. The redirection link to the third-party website will be in the parameter payment.redirect_url.

    "payment": {
    "hash": "5efccd9f520dfe822be625ededee0473db66a5b29c9bae03",

    }
    info

    The complete API reference for the end-point ws/direct can be found here. We strongly recommend you to take a look in all the available options.

  3. Redirect customer to the returned URL

    Redirect your customer to the URL returned in the parameter redirect_url. After the redirection, your customers will be in a third-party website, with all the necessary purchase details to finalize their payment securely and easily.

    At this point you have a pending payment in your EBANX Dashboard.

    Sandbox environment

    You can test this integration in our Sandbox environment as we offer a Online-Banking mock interface.

    Check it below:

    SafetyPay

  4. Wait for the payment

    Once the payment is made by your customer, it will take sometime to EBANX get informed. As soon as we get the confirmation, payment status is modified from pending to confirmed.

    If your customers don't conclude the payment, it will be automatically canceled.
