Local Bank Transfer transaction processing
These are the main steps involved in processing Local Bank Transfer transactions:
-
Create a page where shoppers can enter their personal information. Make sure to collect all the required information from the shopper. For the Payment API, refer to payerInfo for the requirements. For the Extended API, refer to shopper-contact-info for the requirements.
-
Send an API request to BlueSnap from your server, with details about the transaction and shopper. BlueSnap will return the details of the bank account to which the shopper will send their payment.
-
In the UI, display the details of the receiving bank account.
-
Now it is up to the shopper to complete the transaction.
The transaction is complete when the shopper's payment reaches the receiving account. At this point, you are notified of the transaction and an invoice is created.
