Interac eTransfer Deposit
Pay.Per´s Interac deposit is an online banking payment method from Canada.
Payper’s API integration makes it easy to accept Interac e-Transfer payments from any Canadian with a bank account. Canadian bank account holders authorize payments directly from their bank account.
With Interac e-Transfer the merchant´s customers receive an email allowing them to send the payment through the Interac network by logging into their bank account and authorizing the transfer.
The merchant will send an initiatePaymentRequest to PXP and in the response a URL will be shared, to which the customer should be redirected to complete the payment with their banking credentials.
The following method IDs are covered in this section:
| ID | Name | Credit/Debit State |
|---|---|---|
| 343 | Interac eTransfer Deposit | DepositedByProvider (29) |
Payment method interaction type: Redirection to External Payment Provider (see Interaction Types).
ProviderID: 204
After initiating the payment with Pay.per, the customer is redirected to a online banking selection page.
Guidelines
Merchant cashier
Please pay attention to the user interface guidelines regarding popup blocking from Payper.
Please consider also passing a returnURL in parameter HomePageUrl as described below as this should also improve the success rate. In the initiatePaymentResponse a parameter BrowserRedirect will indicate if the user should be redirected in a pop-up or without a pop-up. In the later case, the customer will be redirected back to the merchant.
Note to existing merchants
The payment detail BrowserRedirect is only returned upon activation request to PXP.
Once enabled, it will be always returned, regardless if the merchant will send an URL in the HomePageUrl field, with the default value being false (for merchant to open a pop-up).
Limitation and expiry of payments
Payper allows the end customer to only initiate 3 deposits at once.
This limit is set by Payper and is designed to keep customers from initiating deposit requests with no intention of completing them. The number of pending deposits can be increased by Payper on demand.
Please keep in mind that after 24 hours the transaction will automatically expire and the customer can then initiate new transactions even if they did not complete or decline the transaction.
Payper will also send out an email to customers that hit this limit explaining to them that they can compete or decline the pending transaction if they would like to initiate a new one.
Redirect Integration
Not supported at this moment.
