Skrill

The Paysafe Payments API supports Skrill as a Payment Instrument. You can process Skrill payments using the Payments API.

Typical Scenarios

Skrill Payment

When you want to process a Skrill payment request, you would do the following:

1. Create a Payment Handle with the transactionType parameter set to PAYMENT and the paymentType parameter set to SKRILL.
2. Since the customer has to complete payment authentication by providing Skrill details, Paysafe returns a response with the following:
   • The action parameter is set to REDIRECT
   • A payment_redirect link points to the Skrill redirect URL
3. Redirect the customer to the Skrill redirect URL so they can provide the email address and password details to complete the money transfer.
4. Upon successful customer authentication, the merchant gets notified at the URL specified in the on_completed parameter included with their request.
5. At this point, the status of the Payment Handle becomes PAYABLE.
6. Use the paymentHandleToken returned in the response to process the Payment request.

Once the Payment request is successfully completed, the funds are immediately transferred to the merchant's account.
