Configuring Online Banking (IBP)

Online Banking, also sometimes called Internet Bank Payment (IBP), is a Browser Redirect processing method where customers authorize a debit from their bank account.

If you're using DigitalRiver.js with Elements, you can create an Online Banking payment method for your app or website in four easy steps:

Step 1: Build Online Banking objects

Build the Online Banking Source Request Details object. The Online Banking Source Request object requires the following fields.

Field
Value

type

onlineBanking

sessionId

The payment session identifier.

owner

Online Banking source details object

The Online Banking Details object requires the following fields.

{
    "returnUrl": "https://example.com/success",
    "bankCode": "123"
}
Field
Required/Optional
Description

returnUrl

Required

Where you will redirect your customer to after authorization within the Bank authorization experience.

cancelUrl

Required

If you choose to utilize the full redirect flow, this is where your Customer will be redirected to after cancelling within the Online Banking experience.

bankCode

Required

The identifier of the bank the customer has chosen and will be redirected to when finished. If using the DigitalRiver.js Internet Banking Payment element, this populated for you. If constructing the request yourself, this is a required field.

Step 2: Create an Online Banking source or display

Choose one of the following options:

Create an Online Banking source using DigitalRiver.js

To create an Online Banking payment source, use the DigitalRiver.js library to create and mount elements to the HTML container, or you can assemble the information and then send it using the standard calls in DigitalRiver.js.

Create the Online Banking element using DigitalRiver.js functionality

The Online Banking element creation follows the same pattern as other elements and exposes the same customizations and events. However, to properly display an accurate list of available banks, you must provide an additional onlineBanking object which holds the country and currency appropriate for your Customer.

Field
Value

onlineBanking.currency

The currency your customer uses to purchase products.

onlineBanking.country

The country where your customer resides.

var onlineBankingOptions = {
    classes: {
        base: "DRElement",
        complete: "onlineBanking-complete",
        empty: "onlineBanking-empty",
        focus: "onlineBanking-focus"
    },
    style: {
        base: {
            color: '#495057',
            height: '35px',
            fontSize: '1rem',
            fontFamily: 'apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif',
            ':hover': {
                color: '#ccc',
            },
            '::placeholder': {
                color: '#495057'
            }
        },
        focus: {
            ':hover': {
                color: '#495057',
            },
        },
        empty: {
            ':hover': {
                color: '#495057',
            },
        },
        complete: {
            ':hover': {
                color: '#495057',
            },
        }
    },
    onlineBanking: {
        currency: "EUR",
        country: "DE",
    }
};
 
var onlineBankingElement = digitalriver.createElement('onlinebanking', onlineBankingOptions);
onlineBankingElement.mount('online-banking');

To create an online banking source, you must reference the created element and supplemental data in your createSource request to create an online banking source. DigitalRiver.js will retrieve and assemble the request on your behalf.

The address object must contain postal code and state/Youdized format using the state attribute. Note that the state attribute listed below corresponds to the countrySubdivision attribute used when providing address information. The payment session manages the correct field name on the backend.

var data = {
    "type": "onlineBanking",
    "sessionId": "ea03bf6f-84ef-4993-b1e7-b7d5ecf71d1f",
    "owner": {
        "firstName": "John",
            "lastName": "Doe",
            "email": "john.doe@digitalriver.com",
            "phoneNumber": "000-000-0000",
            "address": {
                "line1": "52-58 Neue Mainzer Straße",
                "line2": "",
                "city": "Frankfurt am Main",
                "state": "HE",
                "postalCode": "60311",
                "country": "DE"
            }
        },
        "onlineBanking": {
            "returnUrl": "https://myurl.com/success",
            "bankCode": "82"
        }
}
 
  
digitalriver.createSource(data).then(function(result) {
    if (result.error) {
        //handle errors
    } else {
        var source = result.source;
        //send the source to the back end
        sendToBackend(source);
    }
});

Create your Online Banking display using DigitalRiver.js

If you decide not to use the out-of-the-box functionality provided by the Online Banking elements, you can use the digitalriver.retrieveOnlineBankingBanks() method to build your own experience.

Retrieving available banks

DigitalRiver.js exposes a method that allows you to retrieve the available banks for a country and currency combination. If banks are available, DigitalRiver.js returns an array of objects. If banks are not available, DigitalRiver.js returns an empty array.

digitalriver.retrieveOnlineBankingBanks("DE","EUR").then(function(response) {
    //use the returned values to create your display
});

Retrieved banks

[{
    "bankCode": "86",
    "bankName": "Sofortüberweisung"
}, {
    "bankCode": "21",
    "bankName": "Giropay"
}]

You can build an experience suitable for your needs with the retrieved banks.

<select>
    <option value="86">Sofortüberweisung</option>
    <option value="21">Giropay</option>
</select>

Once you have reached a point in your flow where the customer has selected a bank, you can use the createSource function to assemble and pass the data to Digital River to create your payment.

Important: If you create an online banking source without using the DigitalRiver.js online banking element, you must pass an additional field bankCode.

var sourceData = {
        "type": "onlineBanking",
        "sessionId": "ea03bf6f-84ef-4993-b1e7-b7d5ecf71d1f",
        "owner": {
            "firstName": "John",
            "lastName": "Doe",
            "email": "john.doe@digitalriver.com",
            "phoneNumber": "000-000-0000",
            "address": {
                "line1": "52-58 Neue Mainzer Straße",
                "line2": "",
                "city": "Frankfurt am Main",
                "state": "HE",
                "postalCode": "60311",
                "country": "DE"
            }
        },
        "onlineBanking": {
            "returnUrl": "https://myurl.com/success",
            "bankCode": "82"
        }
 
        digitalriver.createSource(sourceData).then(function(result) {
            if (result.error) {
                //handle errors
            } else {
                var source = result.source;
                //send the source to the back end
                sendToBackend(source);
            }
        });

    "clientId": "gc",
    "channelId": "drdod15",
    "liveMode": false,
    "id": "8c4ef38f-d156-4e9d-bb37-bdb8849ef54b",
    "sessionId": "ea03bf6f-84ef-4993-b1e7-b7d5ecf71d1f",

            "postalCode": "55343"
        }
    },

    "updatedTime": "2019-09-13T18:01:42.092Z",
    "flow": "redirect",
    "redirect": {
        "redirectUrl": "https://api.digitalriver.com:443/payments/redirects/c0447656-3d11-4dda-a472-43057565160f?apiKey=pk_hc_e03ee62c0d964bb3ac75595b1203d13c",

    },
    "onlineBanking": {
        "bankCode": "86"
    }
}

Step 3: Authorize an Online Banking source

When you create an Online Banking source, the customer is required to authorize the charge through their payment provider. You can accomplish this by redirecting the customer to their payment provider.

Redirecting the customer for Online Banking authorization

Use the redirectUrl parameter in your createSource response to redirect your customer to the payment provider for authorization.

window.location.href = sourceResponse.redirect.redirectUrl;

The payment provider will present the customer with the transaction details where they can authorize or cancel the transaction. A successful authorization redirects the customer to the Online Banking Return URL parameter you specified when you created the source.

Once authorized, the source state will change to chargeable.

    "clientId": "gc",
    "channelId": "drdod15",
    "liveMode": false,
    "id": "8c4ef38f-d156-4e9d-bb37-bdb8849ef54b",
    "sessionId": "ea03bf6f-84ef-4993-b1e7-b7d5ecf71d1f",    
    "clientSecret": "8c4ef38f-d156-4e9d-bb37-bdb8849ef54b_0906601e-8a4b-42e1-962a-35333dd9b22d",
    "type": "onlineBanking",
    "reusable": false,
    "owner": {
        "firstName": "John",
        "lastName": "Doe",
        "email": "john.doe@digitalriver.com",
        "phoneNumber": "000-000-0000",
        "address": {
            "line1": "10380 Bren Road West",
            "line2": "Suite 123",
            "city": "Minnetonka",
            "state": "MN",
            "country": "DE",
            "postalCode": "55343"
        }
    },
    "amount": "100.00",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "state": "chargeable",
    "creationIp": "209.87.180.1",
    "createdTime": "2019-09-13T18:01:42.092Z",
    "updatedTime": "2019-09-13T18:01:42.092Z",
    "flow": "redirect",
    "redirect": {
        "redirectUrl": "https://api.digitalriver.com:443/payments/redirects/c0447656-3d11-4dda-a472-43057565160f?apiKey=pk_hc_e03ee62c0d964bb3ac75595b1203d13c",
        "returnUrl": "https://chrismiller.me/dev/dr/test-dr/example/test-drive?locale=en_US&action=paymentSuccess",
    },
    "onlineBanking": {
        "bankCode": "86"
    }
}

Step 4: Use the authorized source

Once authorized, you can use the source by attaching it to a cart.

{
  "paymentMethod": {
    "sourceId": "e7ba0595-059c-460c-bad8-2812123b9313"
  }
}
