Typical Scenarios

Paysafecash Payment

When you want to process a payment request using Paysafecash as the payment type, you would do the following:

1. Create a Payment Handle with the transactionType parameter set to PAYMENT and the paymentType parameter set to PAYSAFECASH.
2. Since the customer has to complete payment authentication by providing Paysafecash details, Paysafe returns a response with the following:
   • The action parameter is set to REDIRECT
   • A payment_redirect link points to the Paysafecash redirect URL
3. Redirect the customer to the Paysafecash redirect URL so they can generate a bar code.
4. Upon successful bar-code generation, the status of the Payment Handle becomes PAYABLE. The merchant gets notified of this status change via webhooks that have been configured.
5. Use the paymentHandleToken returned in the response to process the Payment request. The Payment will have a status of PENDING until the customer has made the payment.

Once the Payment request is successfully completed, the merchant gets notified via webhooks and the funds are immediately transferred to the merchant's account.
