MPGS Card - ZA Connector
Connector overview

  • Connector name: MPGS Card - ZA

  • Payment method type: za_mpgsvisa_card (Visa in South Africa - Visa card payments in ZAR processed through MPGS (category card, flow card).); za_mpgsmastercard_card (Mastercard in South Africa - Mastercard card payments in ZAR processed through MPGS (category card, flow card).)

  • Gateway name: MPGS (Mastercard Payment Gateway Services) - Rapyd gateway mpgs_za

  • Supported countries and currencies: South Africa (ZA), ZAR

  • Gateway: Mastercard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS) REST API v100, direct server-to-server card API. No hosted checkout or redirect from MPGS itself.

  • Rapyd acts as the aggregator on MPGS. Every PAY, AUTHORIZE and VERIFY sends sub-merchant details (order.subMerchant) that must pass Mastercard merchant data quality rules.

Capabilities

Endpoint

Unique capabilities

Limitations

Create payment (card)

POST /v1/payments

capture=true sends MPGS PAY (payment closes immediately, status CLO). capture=false sends AUTHORIZE (status ACT, capture later). amount 0 with capture=false sends VERIFY (card check). Rapyd 3DS result (CAVV/ECI/3DS2 data) is forwarded to MPGS. Stored credentials: initiation_type customer_present/moto/recurring/installment/unscheduled maps to MPGS CIT/MIT agreement fields. Network tokens (TPAN + cryptogram) are sent as MPGS SCHEME_TOKEN. Apple Pay / Google Pay decrypted cards are sent with walletProvider and the device cryptogram. Acquirer response code and message are returned as failure_code / failure_message on declines.

ZAR only; sub-merchant data must pass Mastercard MDQ checks.

Create payment - Account Funding Transaction (AFT)

POST /v1/payments

payment_method_options.aft=true sends an MPGS PAY with order.purchaseType=ACCOUNT_FUNDING and an accountFunding block (purpose, senderType PERSON, senderIsRecipient true, recipient = the Rapyd wallet being funded). Supports both Rapyd AFT flows: C2C (cardholder's own wallet) and C2C_PSP (merchant's client wallet). Visa purposeOfPayment IS codes, Mastercard crypto / high-risk-securities trading purposes, and direct purchase (is_direct_purchase) as order.purchaseType CRYPTOCURRENCY / HIGH_RISK_SECURITIES. Pre-flight checks reject bad MCC / scenario combinations with failure_code AFT_VALIDATION_FAILED and a readable message.

Must be enabled for the merchant; supported MCCs only.

Capture payment

POST /v1/payments/{payment}/capture

Full or partial capture of an AUTHORIZE (MPGS CAPTURE on the same order). The connector checks the amount does not exceed the remaining authorized amount. Sends order.expectedNumberOfCaptures (default 1 from the payment options).

Only one capture is expected by default.

Cancel payment (void)

DELETE /v1/payments/{payment}

Voids an open authorization (MPGS VOID with targetTransactionId = original transaction). Payment status becomes CAN.

Only for authorized, not yet captured payments.

Create refund

POST /v1/refunds

Full and partial refunds (MPGS REFUND on the original order). Approved = refund closed; PENDING/SUBMITTED/UNKNOWN = refund pending; declines return the acquirer code/message. AFT refunds carry order.purchaseType=ACCOUNT_FUNDING.

Visa AFT funding transactions cannot be refunded.

Retrieve payment

GET /v1/payments/{payment}

The connector implements getPayment / pollingUpdate using MPGS Retrieve Transaction (GET) and re-syncs the status. Polling also voids an authorization that is past Rapyd's expiration time.

Polling is scheduler-driven, not merchant-triggered.

  • Header parameters: Standard Rapyd headers. No connector-specific headers.

  • Supported workflows

    • Card payments: direct card, capture true/false, 3DS via Rapyd.

    • Authorize then capture, partial capture, void and refund on the same card payment.

    • Zero-amount card verification (amount 0, capture=false) sent to MPGS as VERIFY.

    • Stored credentials / recurring: customer-initiated first payment stores an agreement (save_payment_method), later merchant-initiated payments reference it (initiation_type recurring/installment/unscheduled).

    • Network token (scheme token) payments with cryptogram; Apple Pay and Google Pay decrypted card payments.

    • Account Funding Transactions (wallet top-up by card) for Rapyd C2C and C2C_PSP AFT flows - ZA only.
