MobilePay during Checkout
When a customer chooses MobilePay a payment session will be initialized, the customer will be prompted with the MobilePay option through Billwerk+ Payment checkout. When the customer clicks on Continue the session will be redirected to MobilePay Online.
After the redirect has taken place, the customer will be prompted with the MobilePay Online notification on their device after they have entered their mobile number. There will be a 5-minute timer to complete this purchase, if this time elapses the transaction will be canceled and the session shall expire.
After the customer has approved the purchase, with a successful response of payment this can be considered complete, but like most other transactions your capture of the payment is needed to settle the transaction.
Trouble Shooting Redirect
When doing a payment on a mobile device, the telephone will switch from the browser to the MobilePay app.
When the payment is authorized, the MobilePay app will usually switch back to the browser.
Sometimes, this redirect might fail:
Phone runs out of battery.
Phone rings (receives mail/SMS, etc.) and customer does not return to browser.
Wifi or phone signal is lost.
User closes/locks their device and does not return until later.
iPhone user is redirected back to the Safari browser but started the payment in another browser.
User creates a session on their desktop computer, after they complete payment on their phone they close their browser after the authorization is made.
We recommend that you do not rely solely on the redirects and instead also make use of web hooks/callbacks for detecting payments. This way you can avoid issues that come with these unlikely scenarios.
