Accept the payment and display the result page to the shopper

When the Payment Service Provider (PSP) receives the payment request and validates the data, it starts the necessary steps to complete the payment depending on the type of payment method used:

Non-hybrid payment methods: The PSP completes the payment without requesting the shopper to provide any further information. The PSP pages therefore remain invisible to the shopper.

Hybrid payment methods: These payment methods require further interaction between the PSP and the shopper. For example, if the shopper uses a post-pay voucher, they may have to print out a voucher from the PSP's website and make the payment at an outlet.

For more information about how the payment is processed for different categories of Alternative Payment Methods (APM), see PSP Payment Processing Scenarios.

When the payment is complete, the PSP confirms the result of the payment and initiates the pay-in process to the Worldpay Payment service. The Worldpay Payment service then returns a result URL based on the current status of the payment within the system.

The possible result URLs are described in the following table.

Result URL	Description	Payment status in MAI
successURL	This URL is returned if the Worldpay Payment service has received the pay-in notification from the PSP and has authorised the payment. This URL is commonly returned for real-time payment methods, if the PSP accepts the payment request.	AUTHORISED
cancelURL	This URL is often returned if the payment has been cancelled by the shopper on the PSP pages. Note: Some PSPs do not provide a Cancel button on their Website.	SHOPPER_CANCELLED
pendingURL	This URL is returned if the payment is neither authorised in real-time nor cancelled. This URL is commonly returned for delayed payment methods.	SHOPPER_REDIRECTED

Result URL

Description

Payment status in MAI

successURL

This URL is returned if the Worldpay Payment service has received the pay-in notification from the PSP and has authorised the payment.

This URL is commonly returned for real-time payment methods, if the PSP accepts the payment request.

AUTHORISED

cancelURL

This URL is often returned if the payment has been cancelled by the shopper on the PSP pages.

Note: Some PSPs do not provide a Cancel button on their Website.

SHOPPER_CANCELLED

pendingURL

This URL is returned if the payment is neither authorised in real-time nor cancelled. This URL is commonly returned for delayed payment methods.

SHOPPER_REDIRECTED

Note: In some cases, shoppers might complete the payment, but not the entire payment journey. For example, a shopper might close the browser before the successURL is returned. We therefore strongly recommend that you only use the result URLs to redirect shoppers to the result. Do not use these URLs to update your order details.

After the payment is authorised, display the URL to the shopper.
