Credit Card - Merchant Hosted Checkout Integration

When your customer wants to opt for the EMI option with credit cards, you can use EMI APIs to check the customer’s eligibility and get the EMI amount, interest, processing fee, or No-Cost EMI and tenure. If the customer is eligible, you can post the transaction with EMI conversion.

📘

Note:

  • You can create EMI offers using the PayU Dashboard and use them for collecting payments as described in this procedure. For more information, refer to Create a No-Cost EMI Offer
  • For Server-to-Server integration, CC-EMI works on txn_s2s_flow=1, 2, or 4, whereas, DC-EMI only works on txn_s2s_flow=1. The same base64Decoder logic will be used to decode the encrypted acsTemplate (in case of txn_s2s_flow=4) and post_data (in case of txn_s2s_flow=1 or 2).

🚧

Test Environment Limitation for Tokens (Saved Cards)

PayU does not support network tokens or issuer tokens in Test Environment, so you cannot try using API Reference for network tokens or issuer tokens.

Step 1: Check the card EMI eligibility

After collecting the customer’s card and the amount to be paid, check the EMI eligibility based on the card BIN from the customer’s credit card number using the eligibleBINsforEMI API. For more information on how to use eligibleBINsforEMI API, refer to Eligible BINs for EMI API

Step 2: Calculate the EMI interest

Use the getEmiAmountAccordingToInterest API to calculate the EMI interest. For more information, refer to Get EMI According to Interest API

Step 3: Initiate the payment

When your customer has an account on your shopping website, they may store their card details to use when they visit/revisit your website. They can use a following options to initiate the payment with EMI:

Step 4: Check the PayU response

Hash validation logic for payment response (Reverse Hashing)

While sending the response, PayU takes the exact same parameters that were sent in the request (in reverse order) to calculate the hash and returns it to you. You must verify the hash and then mark a transaction as a success or failure. This is to make sure the transaction has not tampered within the response.

The order of the parameters is similar to the following code block:

sha512(SALT|status||||||udf5|udf4|udf3|udf2|udf1|email|firstname|productinfo|amount|txnid|key)

Sample response

You need to look for the following parameters in the response:

  • PG_TYPE
  • bankcode

The formatted sample response from PayU is similar to the following:
