Przelewy24

Przelewy24 is a real-time bank transfer payment method. Customers based in Poland can use it to transfer funds directly to merchants from their bank accounts.

The customer selects their bank from a list of banks displayed. The customer confirms payment and bank transfer instructions to activate a bank transfer, and they can also print out the bank transfer details. The customer re-directs to their banks' login page and logs in. They check that the bank transfer information matches that shown on the Przelewy24 payment page and submits their payment.

Public Sandbox information
Do not use your personal email address, Order ID with sensitive information, real customer details and credit card data in the public Sandbox. For email field you may use [email protected].

📘
Redirection to url_return does not confirm that the transaction is successful. Always check the transaction via notification_url or use the diagnose interface to get the final status of the transaction.

Step 2. Handle the redirect

To complete the payment, you need to redirect the customer to the correct URL in the response.

Response example:

transactionid=105178168&transid=105178168&status=2000&errormessage=pending&errmsg=pending&amount=109.82&price=109.82&
currency=PLN&orderid=Payabl-Test&user_id=715927&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.przelewy24.pl%2FtrnRequest%2FBDF1
F4E272-19B35F-A45492-90D6548A74

Response fields reference:

Parameter	Description
`transactionid`	payabl. internal transaction id. Please use this transaction id when referring to the transaction in communications with the payabl. team
`transid`	The same as `transactionid`
`status`	Transaction error code
`errormessage`	Brief explanation of transaction decline reason (empty on success)
`errmsg`	The same as `errormessage`
`amount`	Transaction amount
`price`	The same as `amount`
`currency`	Transaction currency
`orderid`	Optional transaction identifier given by the merchant
`redirect_url`	URL for customer redirection to finalize the payment (URL encoded)
`user_id`	Payment system user identifier

Step 3. Receive the final status

Once the customer completes the payment, we will send a notification with the transaction's final status to the notification_url specified by you.

url_return and notification_url should be passed by you in the Pre-authorization request.

Alternatively, you can communicate a notifciation_url to be used by default to payabl. technical team. By doing so, you won't need to send it in every request.

P24 contains an additional notification parameter which is payment_state, which could contain the following values:

not_credited_yet: Capture - Accepted.
credited: Capture - Successful.
not_credited: Capture - Failed.

Each state change would trigger a notification to the notification URL, either provided in the request body or configured when the merchant account was created.

Notification example - Accepted Capture:

account_number=&errorcode=0&bank_number=&timestamp=1683804623&orderid=Payabl-Test&errormessage=&security=b84d70cea110cd
40edd3dc53f9c16b5097b92dfbe32c08638a9a7723f93c0c43&transactionid=105178168&payment_method=120&payment_state=not_credited_yet&
account_holder=John+Doe&bank_name=&type=capture

Notification example - Successful Capture:

account_number=&errorcode=0&bank_number=&timestamp=1683804623&orderid=Payabl-Test&errormessage=&security=b84d70cea
110cd40edd3dc53f9c16b5097b92dfbe32c08638a9a7723f93c0c43&transactionid=105178168&payment_method=120&payment_state=credited&
account_holder=John+Doe&bank_name=&type=capture

Notification fields reference:

Parameter	Description
`transactionid`	payabl. internal transaction id. Please use this transaction id when referring to the transaction in communications with the payabl. team
`type`	Transaction type
`errorcode`	Transaction error code (0 for success)
`errormessage`	Brief explanation of transaction decline reason (empty on success)
`amount`	Transaction amount
`orderid`	Optional transaction identifier given by the merchant
`security`	Signature to verify the authenticity of the notification. You can find more information here

`account_holder`	Name of the customer (same as what was sent in the request)
`account_number`	MD5sum of bank account number
`bank_number`	Empty field, we do not get this from P24

After the customer has finished or canceled the payment, they will be redirected back to url_return, provided by you in the initial request to payment_preauthorize. After that, you will receive a notification, posted to notification_url, with the final transaction status, which you are supposed to use to update your system.

📘
Notification URL can be configured by our tech support team in your account on our side,
or you can send it as a parameter notification_url in the initial request to payment_preauthorize.

Refunds

Przelewy24 supports refunds and can be initiated only on a successful captured transaction.
The request will send a credit note to the authorization system after the customer has already been charged. The refund amount will be credited to the customer and the merchant’s account will be charged.

The refund can be done in two ways:

Through API integration
Through payabl. dashboard

If you have API integration, you can check more in our documentation Refund.
