Receiving payments (pain.001)

  • Dark
    Light

Article summary

This tutorial describes how you can use information from notifications to get details about incoming payments with the Payments Hub API.

For this tutorial, consider a scenario where you have registered to receive a notification whenever you receive a new payment. When an incoming payment notification arrives, the beneficiary wants to see the payment amount and who has sent it. The Payments Hub API can be used to retrieve these details. The tutorial describes how you can retrieve the payment details using the ISO pain.001 message.

Note

The instructions in this tutorial apply to the sandbox environment.

The pain.001 requests are not currently supported in the sandbox.

Prerequisites

Before obtaining the access token, make sure you have a public-private key pair that you can use to sign JWT Bearer tokens.

Click here to email your public key, along with the kid and iss claim values you will use in your JWT Bearer tokens.

Note

  • The public key must be created with RSA and sent in PEM format, without password encryption, and must have a length of at least 2048 bits. If these criteria are not met, the token will be rejected.

  • If you don't have a public-private key pair yet, you can use a predefined JWT Bearer token in the sandbox with no need to create or sign your own tokens for authentication:

Authenticate to get an access token

The Payments Hub API endpoints are protected with OAUTH 2.0 JWT Bearer grant. To use the API, you must create a JWT Bearer token and use it to get an access token:

Retrieve the payment details

This section describes how to retrieve the details of the incoming payment via a pain.001 HTTP request to the Payments Hub API. To send this request, you need to provide the Payments Hub ID that was provided in the notification. For information, see Notifications. This section also illustrates a successful response.

Note

Notifications are not used in the sandbox environment.

Request

Create and send a request using the following operation:

GET https://sandbox.api.pagonxt.com/payments/pain001/v09/{paymentsHubId}

In addition to the response code, the response body returns the cstmrCdtTrfInitn JSON object, which contains a pain.001 ISO message.

Response body

The following table shows the response body elements that are relevant for the current use case. For details on all the response body elements, see the Message field definition for pain.001.

Extract the value of the pmtInf.dbtr.nm and pmtInf.cdtTrfTxInf.amt.instdAmt keys to see the debtor name and amount for the payment.
