See the Elements integration guide for additional information.

Step 1: Build a BNP Paribas Source Request and Details object

To build the BNP Paribas Source Request and Details object, follow these steps:

  1. Create the BNP Paribas Source Request object with the necessary fields:

Field
Value

type

Specify this as bnpParibas to indicate the payment method type

sessionId

Include the payment session identifier, which is crucial for transaction tracking.

owner

bnpParibas

  1. Define the BNP Paribas Source Details object with additional parameters as needed for the transaction. This object structure and required fields will depend on BNP Paribas's specifications and any additional payment processing requirements.

BNP Paribas Source Details object

The BNP Paribas Source Details object is crucial for processing payments with BNP Paribas. It includes several key parameters:

  • returnUrl: This is the URL to which customers are redirected after they authorize the payment within the BNP Paribas payment interface. It's essential for the redirect flow.

  • cancelUrl: This is the URL where customers are redirected if they decide to cancel the payment within the BNP Paribas system. It's also necessary for the redirect flow.

  • termCodeId: Represents a unique identifier for the payment terms, such as duration, interest rate, and other conditions. It's important to use the correct termCodeId as specified by BNP Paribas.

Example JSON structure:

{
  "returnUrl": "https://redirectUrl.com",
  "cancelUrl": "https://cancelurl.com",
  "termCodeId": "{specificTermCodeId}"
}

This object ensures that payments are processed correctly and provides a smooth experience for users by facilitating seamless redirection after transactions.

Step 2: Create a BNP Paribas source using DigitalRiver.js

A BNP Paribas source is a structured data object that specifies the necessary parameters for processing payments through BNP Paribas. It contains crucial URLs for redirection (returnUrl and cancelUrl) upon authorizing or canceling the payment within the BNP Paribas payment experience, as well as termCodeId, which represents the terms under which the payment is made. This setup is necessary to initiate a payment process with BNP Paribas, ensuring transactions are processed under the correct terms and providing a seamless user experience.

Use the DigitalRiver.js library to create and mount elements to the HTML container.

The address object must contain postal code and state/province data that adhere to a standardized format.

var data = {
  "type" : "bnpParibas",
  "owner" : {
    "firstName" : "firstName",
    "lastName" : "lastName",
    "email" : "email@email.org",
    "phoneNumber" : "9522253720",
    "address" : {
      "line1" : "line1",
      "line2" : "line2",
      "city" : "Minnetonka",
      "state" : "MN",
      "country" : "US",
      "postalCode" : "55410"
      "termCodeId": "{specificTermCodeId}"
    }
  },
  "sessionId" : "3aa75613-9596-438a-9604-67e20016aa96",
  "bnpParibas" : {
    "returnUrl" : "http://example.org/return",
    "cancelUrl" : "http://example.org/cancel"
    "termCodeId": "{specificTermCodeId}"
    
  }
}


digitalriver.createSource(data).then(function(result) {
    if (result.error) {
        //handle errors
    } else {
        var source = result.source;
        //send source to back end
        sendToBackend(source);
    }
});

    "type": "bnpParibas",
    "reusable": false,
    "owner": {
        "firstName": "John",
        "lastName": "Doe",
        "email": "jdoe@yahoo.com",
        "phoneNumber": "5559895326",
        "address": {
            "line1": "10380 Bren Road West",
            "line2": "",
            "city": "Minnetonka",
            "state": "MN",
            "country": "US",
            "postalCode": "55343"
        }
    },
    "amount": "210.50",
    "currency": "USD",
    "state": "pending_redirect",
    "creationIp": "10.81.3.92",
    "createdTime": "2020-02-27T01:10:57.513Z",
    "updatedTime": "2020-02-27T01:10:57.513Z",
    "flow": "redirect",
    "redirect": {
        "redirectUrl": "https://api.digitalriverws.com:443/payments/redirects/bca8a56b-7afb-4670-891c-313630ef748e?apiKey=pk_hc_e03ee62c0d964bb3ac75595b1203d13c",
        "returnUrl": "https://yourdomain.com?paymentAction=success",
        "cancelUrl": "https://yourdomain.com?paymentAction=failure"
    },
    "bnpParibas": {
        "token": "63449012720000000000000534937705"
    }
}

Step 3: Authorize the BNP Paribas source

To authorize the BNP Paribas source, you must redirect the customer to their payment provider using the redirectUrl obtained from the createSource response. Here's how you can direct the customer for authorization:

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

The customer can then authorize or cancel the transaction at the BNP Paribas payment page. If authorization is successful, the customer will be redirected back to your website using the returnUrl you specified. If the transaction is canceled, they will be redirected back using the cancelUrl.

Step 4: Use the authorized source

Once the customer has authorized the transaction at BNP Paribas, you can proceed with the payment process. Here's how you attach the authorized source to a checkout for finalizing the payment:

  1. Retrieve the authorized source ID from the return URL parameters.

  2. Attach the source to a checkout for a customer by using the following payload in your charge request:

POST /checkouts/{id}
{
  "customerId": "{customer_id}",
  "sourceId": "{authorized_source_id}"
}
  1. Replace {customer_id} with your actual customer's ID and {authorized_source_id} with the source ID you've received upon successful authorization.

Following these steps, you finalize the payment transaction, leveraging the authorized source.

Testing BNP Paribas

To test BNP Paribas payment transactions, follow the guidelines outlined in the Testing redirect payment methods section. This includes simulating various scenarios to ensure the payment process works smoothly under different conditions. It's crucial to replace placeholders in your request with actual values:

  • Replace your_customer_id with your test customer's ID.

  • Replace authorized_source_id with the source ID you've received upon successful authorization.
