Clear an arrear in payment

Using PaymentToken for account payment or GetPaymentToken call gives you a few options such as:

Receive a link to pass on to the customers to make a payment
A separate one-off charge can be created for this payment if it has been successful
Define the amount that needs to be paid
Provide a URL for the customer to be redirected to after the payment is processed (call back URL)
For each business, you You can provide a Webhook URL that we will store in our database after approval for each business. We will post the transaction details to this Webhook URL once as a JSON object. The transaction details are the same as what we send back for CallbackURL - the Token, AccountReferenceNo, ExternalAccountReferenceNo, Status and Message.

Note
The CallbackURL should not be used for payment verification as it can be altered by the user. Instead, the webhook URL should be used for payment authentication.

Info
We recommend that you store the WebhookToken we provide in the response securely to authenticate the information received through the WebhookURL is from Debitsuccess.

The token has a lifespan of 10 minutes. This will mean that the customer needs to access the payment form URL within 10 minutes of the token being issued.
The token is for one-time usage. Once the operation has started (link is clicked), it cannot be reused.

REST API

Use the Generate PaymentToken for account payment endpoint of Customer Services API to make a payment to an account using a credit card.

SOAP API

GetPaymentToken

The GetPaymentToken call can mostly be offered to customers who need to make an initial payment towards the account setup with Debitsuccess. It requires the following information:

Account Reference No.
Amount
Call back URL
Create a one-off charge
For the Gateway model, the CreateOneOffCharge parameter has to be set to true.
Payment method type
Payment notes
Request type

Info
We recommend that this message should be used in conjunction with the message GetCardPaymentStatusForCustomerAccount for confirmation of payment.

In the GetPaymentToken process, a PayNow link is generated (the link is in the response field a:PaymentFormURL) and that can be shared with the customer to process a payment. This will ensure that you do not have to handle the credit card information of the customer.
