3DS Card Payment


In this page, you will learn how to create payments through the 3DS card payment API in a few steps:

  • Collect your client's payment Information.
  • Trigger OPay 3DS card payment API with your collected information.
  • Handle the API Response.
  • Redirect your client to 3DS cashierUrl.
  • Redirect your client to returnUrl after the payment is completed and to cancelUrl when the payment is canceled.

it works as follows:

  1. Merchant will send 3DS Payment request with client information and returnURL to OPay.
  2. OPay will respond to the merchant with redirectURL to the Card Issuing Bank.
  3. Merchant will redirect the client to the bank by the given redirectURL.
  4. Card Issuing Bank will send the payment result to OPay.
  5. OPay will return the client to the merchant returnURL.

Collect your Client's Payment Information


Once your client's Payment information is ready, you will need to present your own payment details form. This form should collect:

  1. Product Information:
    • Name
    • Description

  2. Card Information:
    • CVV
    • Card Number
    • Card Expiry Year
    • Card Expiry Month

Error Handling


After submitting an API call to OPay, you receive a response back to inform you that your request was received and processed. A successful OPay API should return a status code 00, meanwhile, in a situation where any payment processing error occurred, you will receive an error code with a message to describe the reason of the error. A sample error response can be found below.

                    
                        {
                            "code": "02004",
                            "message": "the payment reference already exists."
                        }
                    
                

Depending on the HTTP status code of the response, you should build some logic to handle any errors that a request or the system may return. A list of possible potential error codes that you may receive can be found below.

02000 authentication failed.
02001 request params not valid.
