Checkout Guide: Integration Overview¶
We hope you already have a common understanding of how the system works and why you need to use Checkout. Now we will deal with Checkout API and its interaction features, as well as briefly explore possible ways to integrate Checkout into a website, application, web store or services like Smart TV.
Checkout works with accounts throughout WZRDPAY's ecosystem.
Ecosystem overview¶
Checkout payment page requires that you integrate the server-side REST APIs from the WZRDPAY environment and thus requires no client-side integration. The different APIs correspond to different WZRDPAY products and have some defined objects that interact with each other.
Interaction overview¶
Actors¶
Public API¶
Public API is responsible for providing payment services, payment methods available to an Account, creating Payment Invoice and obtaining general information about its status.
Private API¶
Private API provides full functionality for managing Payment Invoice, obtaining full information about it, producing a refund and payment cancel.
Callback Service¶
Callback Service is responsible for delivering an instant notification to Merchant Backend when changing the status of the Payment Invoice. This notification can be processed on the Merchant Backend side to launch further business logic for processing a paid order.
Merchant Frontend¶
Payment Invoice is initiated on the order payment step on the merchant side. It can be done both through Payment Widget and a simple redirection to Checkout with the necessary payment parameters for paying for the order.
Merchant Backend¶
Merchant CMS manages the order, initiates the payment, and processes Payment Invoice status changes.
How does it work¶
Technically, Checkout is a companion service to WZRDPAY Commerce that uses WZRDPAY Payment Gateway as a Payment Provider. You integrate one of these APIs to create a Payment Invoice and then use Checkout to accept payment from customers.
A complete payment process involves three of WZRDPAY's services:
- Checkout API: to distribute the Payment Invoice to merchant Customer
- Public API: to integrate to create a Payment Invoice
- Private API: to capture payment or refund the already created order
