Collecting Payment Details

1. Follow the instructions in these steps:
   Press tab to open…
   • REST API
   • Web SDK
   • Simply Connect

   Retrieve a dynamic list of banks and APMs linked to your merchant account for that country:

   1. The payment flow begins when your customer enters the amount they wish to pay on your payment page, selects “Online Bank Transfer” or “Instant Bank Transfer” and presses Pay (or equivalent).
   2. Send a /getSessionToken request, which generates a sessionToken.
   3. Call the /getMerchantPaymentMethods method and include the relevant countryCode parameter to narrow down results returned.
      To narrow down the list of banks to display to the customer, first determine the country in which the customer may have their bank account, either by deciding for yourself, based on the available information, or by asking the customer.

      
      

      Example /getMerchantPaymentMethods Request

      {
        "sessionToken": "<sessionToken from getSessionToken>",
        "merchantId":"<your merchantId>",
        "merchantSiteId":"<your merchantSiteId>",
        "clientRequestId": "<unique request ID in merchant system>",
        "currencyCode":"USD",
        "countryCode":"BE",
        "type":"DEPOSIT",
        "languageCode":"eng",
        "timeStamp":"<YYYYMMDDHHmmss>",
        "checksum":"<calculated checksum>"
      }

   Retrieve a dynamic list of banks and APMs linked to your merchant account for that country:

   1. The payment flow begins when your customer enters the amount they wish to pay on your payment page, selects “Online Bank Transfer” or “Instant Bank Transfer”, and presses Pay (or equivalent).
   2. Send an /openOrder request, which generates a sessionToken.
   3. Instantiate a Web SDK session by sending a SafeCharge() request and include the sessionToken.
   4. Now you can call the getAPMs() Web SDK method, and include the relevant countryCode to narrow down the results returned.
      To narrow down the list of banks to display to the customer, first determine the country in which the customer may have their bank account, either by deciding for yourself, based on the available information, or by asking the customer.

      
      

      Example getApms() Request

      sfc.getApms({
        "currencyCode": "USD",
        "countryCode": "BE",
        "languageCode": "en"
        }, 
      
      function (res) {
        console.log(res)
      })

      The response returns all the APMs linked to your merchant account, for that countryCode.

   1. Initiate a Session – This authenticates and sets up an order in the Nuvei system, by sending an /openOrder request, and returns a sessionToken.
   2. Create an HTML Placeholder – This instantiates the Web SDK with the sessionToken received from the server call to /openOrder.
   3. Collect the bank and transaction details by displaying a pop-up for the customer to select a bank, enter the IBAN (if mandatory for the bank), accept the Terms and Conditions, and enter the amount.
   4. Use an IFrame to redirect the customer to their selected bank, so they can enter their credentials and complete the payment transaction.
      
      Simply Connect allows the customer to enter the bank name directly; the search is triggered once you start to enter characters.
