Payment through company website

The customer scans a QR code and is directed to the taxi company's landing page. The company sends a payment request to them through the Vipps or MobilePay app.

Prerequisites

QR code in the taxi

Generate a merchant redirect QR linking to your website or app. Print and place the QR code in your taxi.

How to create a QR code

The QR code contains a Id that associates it with the vehicle.

Here is an example HTTP POST:

POST:/qr/v1/merchant-redirect

{
  "id": "taxi_122_qr",
  "redirectUrl": "https://example.com/myTaxiCompany"
}

Details

Step 1: The customer scans the QR

When the customer scans the QR with their phone, they will be redirected to the redirectUrl.

Step 2: Send the payment request

Send a payment request to the customer

Detailed example

Since the customer has scanned from their phone, you don't need their phone number. This payment command can do an app-switch and open their Vipps or MobilePay app with the payment request. Specify "userFlow": "WEB_REDIRECT" to redirect user to the app. Specify "customerInteraction": "CUSTOMER_PRESENT".

Here is an example HTTP POST:

POST:/epayment/v1/payments

{
  "amount": {
    "value": 10000,
    "currency": "NOK"
  },
  "paymentMethod": {
    "type": "WALLET"
  },
  "customerInteraction": "CUSTOMER_PRESENT",
  "receipt":{
    "orderLines": [
      {
        "name": "trip",
        "id": "line_item_1",
        "totalAmount": 100000,
        "totalAmountExcludingTax": 80000,
        "totalTaxAmount": 20000,
        "taxRate": 2550,
      },
    ],
    "bottomLine": {
      "currency": "NOK",
      "posId": "taxi_122",
      "tipAmount": 10000,
      "receiptNumber": "0527013501"
    },
  },
  "reference": 2486791679658155992,
  "userFlow": "WEB_REDIRECT",
  "returnUrl": "http://example.com/redirect?reference=2486791679658155992",
  "paymentDescription": "Travel from Oslo central station to Oslo airport"
}

Step 3: The customer authorizes the payment

The payment request will appear in the customer's Vipps or MobilePay app, where they can select to pay or cancel.

To determine that the user has authorized the payment, you can get notifications via the Webhooks API and/or poll for the status.

Once the payment is approved, update the status in your system.

Step 4: Capture the payment

Capture the payment and confirm that it was successful.

Detailed example

POST:/epayment/v1/payments/{reference}/capture

With body:

{
  "modificationAmount": {
    "value": 10000,
    "currency": "NOK"
  }
}
