The “invoice payment” service
The invoice payment service allows merchants without a website to accept invoice payments via a custom data collection form.
The service does not allow edition or injection of invoices but only the payment from the invoice reference provided by the merchant.
For more information on the data collection form, see our user guide.
Subscribing to the service implies that you create a shop and a data collection form dedicated to invoice payment.
If you are already using the data collection form for donation collection or captures not linked to an invoice number, you must request to open a second shop for invoice payment. Contact sales administration to make the request.
If you are not using your data collection form at this time, it will be automatically associated with the invoice payment.
To be able to use the service in production, the merchant must have configured his/her data collection form and requested for it to be put into production.
Via their Expert Back Office, the authorized merchant has an interface allowing him/her:
- To create invoice payment orders manually.
- To import a file containing a lot of invoice payment orders.
If the file is valid, the payment gateway creates all the payment orders defined in the file.
For more information about importing batch payment orders, seethe implementation guide.
The merchant must communicate the URL of the data collection form as well as the invoice reference to the buyer.
The buyer accesses the form via his/her browser and fills in the reference of the invoice to be paid.
The system then retrieves the details of the invoice and pre-fills the amount to be paid.
The buyer fills in the required data and proceeds to payment.
Once the payment is completed, the status of the payment order is updated in the Expert Back Office.
- Order status which defines if the order has been paid.Possible values:
- In progress: no payment attempt detected.
- Finalized: a payment attempt has occurred.
- in green: the payment is accepted
- in red: the payment is refused
- Expired: the order expiry date is reached. The order has not been paid.
- Delivery status which determines whether the order has been correctly delivered to its recipient.Possible values:
- Manual submission: order initial status. The merchant must update it manually after sending the order.
- Sent: the merchant has successfully transmitted the payment order and updated the status manually.
Note
This service is not compatible with payment by token, even if the buyer has already saved their payment method.
An invoice order cannot be paid in installments.
