Authorization and capture

MobilePay transactions through the Checkout can be used to do a sale (capture_now = true) or to authorize without capturing immediately (capture_now = false). An authorized payment reserves the money and allows you to capture the funds at a later stage.

Sending a checkout request using MobilePay payment method:

Special conditions during purchase experience

1. The user initiates the purchase in a browser that is not the default one on their phone.

If a user initiates the purchase in a browser that is not the default one on their phone, and then they switch to MobilePay and accept the payment, the app will redirect to the merchant's URL which will always open in the default browser, even if it is not the same browser where the payment was initiated.

The MobilePay app cannot decide which browser is used, or redirect back to the first browser if that is not the default one.

In this case, as a merchant, you cannot rely on session objects and only rely on the data in the Redirect to show a confirmation page.

2. The user breaks the flow and does not return at all by closing the browser.

The user initiates the purchase and switches to MobilePay to accept the payment. Before the switch to merchant URL, the user closes MobilePay and/or browser.

The payment is successful and as a merchant you should complete the order based on the information from callbacks.

Handling responses

Whenever a card payment is processed via the Checkout, the responses events would contain additional fields specific to card payments in the details object.

Example of successful checkout via the Checkout:

        }
   Note:  Intercard integration will be available starting with 2023.
  • Note: To ensure that the redirection request was not tampered with, always check that the transaction_id received as query parameter in the redirection matches the transaction_id property of the retrieved Checkout. If those are not matching, this is indication of either an incorrect integration, that the redirection to your return_url did not originate from Verifone, or transaction_id was tampered with.
  • You can now store the transaction_id value together with the order 1234 in your system to link the two together.
