Merchant-Presented Mode (C scan B)

Accept in-store payments from Alipay+ users through your point-of-sale system (POS) using the Alipay+ Order Code Payment (C scan B) payment method.

This guide walks you through the payment flow and details on how to implement.

How to enable

• Supported Countries: Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia
• Minimum API version: 2017-11-02

To enable Order Code Payment (C scan B), send an email requesting this feature to support@opn.ooo. You will need to review and accept new terms and conditions.

Payment flow

Customers paying via Order Code Payment (C scan B) go through an offline payment flow. This means that once the charge is created, it can only be authorized offline. In this case, the customer must scan the generated QR code with the supported wallet app on their phone to complete the flow.

After the customer selects Order Code Payment (C scan B) as their preferred payment method, your POS device should generate the QR code.

❶ The customer opens an Alipay+ supported wallet on their mobile phone. ❷ Then, the customer scans QR code displayed in the merchant POS. ❸ The customer reviews payment information. ❹ The customer confirms the payment. ❺ When the payment is successful, the customer will be notified in the wallet application.

Implementation

To create a charge using Order Code Payment (C scan B), make the following API requests.

1. Create a new payment source (type: alipayplus_mpm) using Omise.js or one of the mobile SDKs (iOS and Android)
2. Create a new charge using the identifier of the source created in Step 1.
3. After receiving the charge completion webhook event, retrieve the charge to verify its status (optional, but recommended).

Use your public key to create the Order Code Payment (C scan B) source on the client (a customer's browser or mobile phone). Use your secret key to create the Order Code Payment (C scan B) charge on the server.

If both the creation and charge of a source must happen server-side, you can create and charge the source in a single API request using your secret key.

Creating a source

When the customer confirms that they wish to pay with this payment method, create a new source specifying the amount, currency, and type.

The following examples demonstrate the creation of a new Order Code Payment (C scan B) source for ฿1500. Replace the omise_public_key and $OMISE_PUBLIC_KEY variables with the test public key found on your dashboard.

Using Omise.js, the type parameter is supplied as the first argument to the createSource method.

Omise.setPublicKey(omise_public_key);

Omise.createSource('alipayplus_mpm', {
  "amount": 150000,
  "currency": "THB"
}, function(statusCode, response) {
  console.log(response)
});

For testing, you can create the same request using curl.

curl https://api.omise.co/sources \
  -u $OMISE_PUBLIC_KEY: \
  -d "amount=150000" \
  -d "currency=THB" \
  -d "type=alipayplus_mpm"

}

The id attribute is the source identifier (begins with src).

Creating a charge

Create a charge specifying the parameters source, amount, and currency.

• source specifies the source identifier.
• amount and currency must match amount and currency of the source.

The following example demonstrates how to create a new charge using curl. Replace $OMISE_SECRET_KEY with your test secret key found on your dashboard. Replace $SOURCE_ID with the id of the source.

curl https://api.omise.co/charges \
  -u $OMISE_SECRET_KEY: \
  -d "amount=150000" \
  -d "currency=THB" \
  -d "source=$SOURCE_ID"

Creating a source and charge

Alternatively, you can create and charge a source in a single API request.

curl https://api.omise.co/charges \
  -u $OMISE_SECRET_KEY: \
  -d "amount=150000" \
  -d "currency=THB" \
  -d "source[type]=alipayplus_mpm"

Setting the charge to expire

Order Code Payment (C scan B) charges that have not yet been authorized (status=pending) can be set to expire immediately. In effect, this cancels the charge.

curl https://api.omise.co/charges/$CHARGE_ID/expire \
  -X POST \
  -u $OMISE_SECRET_KEY:

Completing the charge

At this point, you have created a new charge with its status set to pending. Other possible values for charge status are successful, failed, and expired.

The following sections detail how to authorize a charge, receive its completion webhook event, and update its status.

This sequence diagram shows the entire flow.

Authorizing the charge

Present the customer with QR code generated at charge creation. To authorize the charge, the customer scans the QR code using their phone.

You can simulate the authorization phase in test mode. Go to the specific charge on the dashboard, click on Actions and manually mark the charge as Successful or Failed.

Find the QR code nested within the charge object as follows:

charge:
  source:
    scannable_code:
      image:
        download_uri: QR code image to present to the customer

{
  "object": "barcode",
  "type": "qr",
  "image": {
    "object": "document",
    "livemode": false,
    "id": "docu_test_5x6636binvy9drzpkd6",
    "deleted": false,
    "filename": "qrcode.svg",
    "location": "/charges/chrg_test_5x6636a3hqbu2pz6t0w/documents/docu_test_5x6636binvy9drzpkd6",
    "kind": "qr",
    "download_uri": "https://api.omise.co/charges/chrg_test_5x6636a3hqbu2pz6t0w/documents/docu_test_5x6636binvy9drzpkd6/downloads/CD55F45389BEE2A9",
    "created_at": "2023-09-20T09:37:05Z"
  }
}

Receiving the charge completion event

The best way for you to be notified of the completion of a charge is using webhook events. Set up a location on your server to receive webhook events, and add this location as a webhook endpoint on the dashboard.

Once a charge is completed, a POST request will be sent to this endpoint with the charge response embedded.

The key attribute for the event object contains charge.complete and the data attribute contains the charge object. See Events API for event object structure.

Checking the charge status

After receiving this event, retrieve the charge using its id and confirm that its status matches the status of the charge contained in the event.

If the value of status is successful, you got paid. If the value of status is failed, check the failure_code and failure_message in the charge object for an explanation.

Possible failure codes are listed below.

Voids and refunds

Order Code Payment (C scan B) charges can be voided until 16:15 UTC of the transaction date, and can be partially or fully refunded within 1 year of the transaction date.
