  3. Your website directs the customer to the redirect URL of the ewallet website.

complete-payment.jpg

The response shows:

  • The payment id is payment_56410597a0196e1eec00954b3440461b. When you run this example in your own sandbox, you will get a different ID, which you will need for later steps.

  • The amount is 19.99.

  • The currency_code is SGD (Singapore dollars).

  • The status (under data) is ACT (active). This means that the payment process is active but not complete.

  • These URLs are included:

    • redirect_url - You redirect your customer to this one-time eWallet website URL to complete the payment.

    • complete_payment_url and error_payment_url - Rapyd provides these URLs to the eWallet website to redirect the customer back to your website depending on whether the purchase succeeded.

Your website redirects the customer to the eWallet website. After the customer successfully pays:

  1. The eWallet website redirects the customer to the URL you provided for a successful payment.

  2. The eWallet website informs Rapyd that the payment was completed successfully.

  3. Rapyd sends you a webhook with details of the completed transaction.

Simulating a Local eWallet Payment

The sandbox does not directly simulate the action of the customer completing the transaction with the local eWallet. You can simulate this action with the procedure described in Complete Payment. For this, you will need the payment ID that you generated in your sandbox.

Configure your system to receive webhooks with the procedure described in Defining a Webhook Endpoint.

Let's take a look at Webhook - Payment Completed .

            "created_at": 1591620906
        }
           
        

The data section of the webhook contains the same type of information as the response to the Create Payment request, except that the status now is CLO (closed). This shows that the transaction is complete.
