Bizum

Intro

Bizum is a Spanish wallet allowing customers to pay with their mobile phone. Once you redirect your customers to the Bizum portal, they confirm the payment with their phone number and a password. Your customers can make their payment in a browser or in the Bizum app, which smooths out the payment experience.

The integration is very easy, as you only have to send three additional parameters along with your request. You can implement this payment method with both integration modes Hosted Checkout Page/Server-to-server.

redirectPaymentMethodSpecificInput

PaymentProductId

requiresApproval

paymentProductId: The numeric identifier of the payment method on our platform. Find this id in the "Overview" chapter. It instructs our platform to send your customers directly to the Bizum portal. 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.

returnURL: The URL we redirect your customers to after the payment has been finalised.

requiresApproval: Set to either "true"/"false" depending on whether you want to process payments in authorisation/direct sale mode.

Find detailed information about this object and its properties in our CreateHostedCheckoutAPI/CreatePaymentAPI.

Process flows

  • Every Bizum transaction is linked to an authorisation code which you have to show to your customers during the payment flow.
  • The Bizum processor Redsys offers you two options for that:
    1. Redsys displays the authorisation code on the an intermediate page (see step 4a).
    2. You retrieve the authorisation code and display it on your returnUrl (see step 4b).
  • Option 1. requires your customers to actively confirm the redirection to your returnURL. However, some customers might close their browsers instead. This will lead to discrepancies between the actual transaction's status and what your receive in your GetPayment/webhooks request (see step 6).
  • To avoid such discrepancies and increase conversion rates, we strongly recommend choosing option 2.
  • Using option 1 or 2 requires activation by Redsys. Contact them to activate/switch between options according to your preference.
  1. Your customers finalise an order in your shop and select Bizum.
  2. You send this CreateHostedCheckout/CreatePayment request to our platform.
  3. You redirect your customers via the redirectUrl (For CreateHostedCheckout requests) or merchantAction.redirectData.redirectURL (For CreatePayment requests). If your customers have the Bizum app installed on their device, it opens the app automatically.
    Your customers enter their personal data (phone number and password) to confirm the order.
  4. Our platform receives the transaction result. Based on the configuration that Redsys has set up and activated, two scenarios are possible: 
    a.  Bizum redirects your customers to the Redsys intermediate page, displaying the transaction's authorisation code. Your customers confirm the redirection to the  returnURL.
    b. Bizum redirects your customers to returnURL.
  5. You request the transaction result from our platform via GetPayment or receive the result via webhooks. If you process transactions via flow 4b, you get the transaction's authorisation code via property redirectPaymentMethodSpecificOutput.PaymentProduct5001SpecificOutput.authorisationCodefrom our platform via the GetPayment/webhooks request. Make sure to display this code on your returnURL.
  6. If the transaction was successful, you can deliver the goods / services.
