Sofinco 3x/4x

Intro

As Sofinco 3x/4x offer various brands, multiple paymentProductId exist. Find all possible values in the Integration chapter.

Sofinco 3x/4x is an instalment solution offered by Sofinco.

By offering flexible instalment plans, you make your customers' purchases affordable, which improves your conversion rate and revenue. Your customers may choose to split their payment into three or four equal, interest-free instalments over several months. Your customers enter their card (Visa, MasterCard or Carte Bancaire) and personal details on the Sofinco payment page. Sofinco then charges your customers automatically for the individual instalments.

Sofinco 3x/4x outsources the risk of payment defaults, as Sofinco pays you upfront and collects the funds from your customers.

The integration is very easy, as you only need to send some additional parameters along with your request.

If left out, our platform sends your customers to the Hosted Checkout Page instead, allowing them to choose this or any other payment method in your account.

requiresApproval: Set to either "true"/"false" depending on whether you want to process payments in authorisation("true")/direct sale mode ("false").
Make sure that you capture authorised transaction later. Only then will the transaction have status="CAPTURED" / statusOutput.statusCategory="COMPLETED" / statusOutput.statusCode=9, for which you receive the actual payment for the transaction.
returnUrl: The URL we redirect your customers to after the payment has been finalised.
