Store credit is a unique payment type that allows you to connect your credit management system to the Digital River APIs.

With store credit, you manage a customer's credit on your end and then pass that data to Digital River in so we can offer it as an option in or , our .

On this page, you'll find information on:

Providing a store credit endpoint

You can . This allows you to manage the store credit you offer customers more closely and better defeat fraudulent attempts to abuse it.

If customers request to use their store credit in the payment collection stage, Digital River calls this endpoint to determine whether it should be authorized. If your hosted service approves the request, Digital River applies the credit to the purchase. Otherwise, we prevent the customer from using it.

When configuring your endpoint, you must enter a username and password. In both the and the that Digital River sends to your service, these credentials are transmitted using the .

Managing store credit in checkouts

If you want to give customers the option to use their store credit in a or the , then the body of your must include .

In the payment collection stage, customers might request to use that credit. Once it has been successfully applied to the transaction, they might also want to remove that payment option.

For details on handling both scenarios, refer to and .

Attaching store credit

To handle our request, you’ll need to have a hosted service set up that uses upstreamId to look up that line of credit in your system and then check whether its available amount is sufficient to cover the amount being requested.

If your authorization service determines this to be the case, send a reply with approval set to true. Make sure your response also specifies the amount that's been approved. This value can be lower than the amount Digital River sent in the request, but it should be greater than 0. Otherwise, if you reject the request, set approval to false. In this case, you don't need to return amount.

Whether your service approves or rejects the request, it should return a 200 OK status code and the body of the response should pass back the same upstreamId so that we can check the values for parity.

Digital River handles your response by looking at the value of approval.

Removing store credit

Customers might also attempt to remove a store credit already successfully applied in the payment stage.

Your service should respond with a 204 No Content status code and an empty body.

Processing store credit in orders

For each payment.sources[] of this type, we recommend that you use its upstreamId to look up the line of credit in your system and then deduct how much is available by amount.

If none exists, we use the and of the storeCredits[] selected by that customer to create a with a of customerCredit, and then add it to the sources[].

However, if we determine that a saved endpoint does exist, we to it.
