Payin P2C Non-Seamless Wallet Integration

The Payin Seamless Request API allows you to initiate payment requests through payment Channel Bangladesh Wallets. This API uses secure authentication with API Key validation, IP Whitelisting and Signature Verification for maximum security.

Request Payment from Web/Android/iOS App Follow these steps to integrate the payment request from your app.

Note: The IP must be whitelisted by us to accept the request. This process involves back-end to back-end communication

Api Key

Your provided API key must be passed in X-Api-Key header for all requests.

Security

All requests are secured with signature verification and IP whitelisting.

AUTHENTICATION :

Required Authentications

All requests must include the following authentication:

  • API Key: Your provided API key must be passed in X-Api-Key header

  • Signature: SHA256 signature for request validation

  • IP Whitelisting: Your server IP must be pre-registered in our system.

All V2 API requests must be authenticated by including a signature parameter in the JSON body.

The logic for creating this signature is identical for all V2 endpoints. Please follow the detailed instructions on our central guide:

CALLBACK

We invoke your callback URL with callback data whenever there is a status change against the transaction.

Valid Transaction status are:

  1. Pending

  2. Approved

  3. Late Approved

  4. Amount Mismatch

  5. User Timed out

  6. Declined

  3. Pending=>Declined

  4. Pending=>User Timed Out

  5. User Timed Out=>Late Approved

The callback landing page must be set up on your server at a secret path, but it should be publicly accessible from our whitelisted IP. (Ensure that it is only accessible from our server IP.)

In the POST body, the following properties will be provided in JSON format:

Name
Type
Description

order_id

string

Your order id shared

requested_amount

string

requested amount

received_amount

string

received amount

bank_ref

string

transaction reference/bank reference/UTR if available

ref_code

string

unique code for the transaction

status

string

status of payment at this time

post_hash

string

signature post hash for security verification

Note:

please consider received_amount for final transaction processing

Follow the steps to verify the integrity of received data:

  1. Capture and Decode the Payload

Capture the raw JSON data from the POST body and decode it.

// Capture and decode the raw POST body
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
$array = json_decode($data, true);
  1. Extract and Decode the post_hash

The post_hash field in the JSON payload is a Base64-encoded string. You must Base64-decode it to get the raw binary data needed for decryption.

// Get the Base64 string from the array
$post_hash_base64 = $array['post_hash'];
 
// Decode it to get the raw binary ciphertext
$ivHashCiphertext = base64_decode($post_hash_base64);
  1. Decrypt the Binary Data to get the Remote Hash

Pass the raw binary data (not the Base64 string) to the decrypt function along with your secret key.

//$secret_key is your provided SECRET KEY
$remote_hash = decrypt($ivHashCiphertext, $secret_key);

The decrypt function for your language is provided in the reference section below.

function decrypt($ivHashCiphertext, $password) 
{    
    $method = "AES-256-CBC";    
    $iv = substr($ivHashCiphertext, 0, 16);    
    $hash = substr($ivHashCiphertext, 16, 32);    
    $ciphertext = substr($ivHashCiphertext, 48);    
    $key = hash('sha256', $password, true);    
    if (!hash_equals(hash_hmac('sha256', $ciphertext . $iv, $key, true),$hash)) 
    return null;    
    return openssl_decrypt($ciphertext, $method, $key,    		    
    OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);                               
}

  1. Compute the Local Hash

Compute the local hash using the MD5 128-bit hashing algorithm. Use the order_id, received_amount, and status received in the callback array for computing the local hash.

Note: The received_amount in the callback payload is always sent as an integer string (e.g., "100", "0").

// Get the values from the same callback $array
$order_id = $array['order_id'];
$received_amount = $array['received_amount'];
$status = $array['status'];
 
$local_hash = md5($order_id . $received_amount . $status . $secret_key);
  1. Verify Hash

Compare the decrypted $remote_hash from the request and the computed $local_hash.

if ($remote_hash !== null && hash_equals($local_hash, $remote_hash)) {  
    // Mark the transaction as success & process the order  
    $hash_status = "Hash Matched";    
} else {  
    // Verification failed       
    $hash_status = "Hash Mismatch";  
}
  1. Acknowledge the Payment Gateway

To confirm you have received the callback and to prevent our gateway from sending retries, you must do two things:

  • Respond with an HTTP 200 OK status code.

  • Respond with a JSON body containing the key "acknowledge" set to the string "yes".

Our system will check for both the 200 status and the {"acknowledge": "yes"} in the response body. If either is missing, we will assume the callback failed and will attempt to send it again.

// --- This is the required acknowledgment ---

// 1. Set the HTTP 200 OK status code
http_response_code(200);

// 2. Prepare the required JSON response body
$response_data = [
    'acknowledge' => 'yes',
    'hash_status' => $hash_status // You can include this for your own logs
];

// 3. Send the response
header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
echo json_encode($response_data);
exit;

STATUS POLLING :

The payment Status Polling API allows you to retrieve real-time status information for payment transactions. This endpoint provides comprehensive transaction details including payment status, amounts etc.

Note : All requests must include proper authentication headers and IP whitelisting may be required for production environments.

POST baseurl/api/v2/status_polling.php

Authentication

This API required the following authentication mechanism:

Required Headers

Header
Type
Required
Description

Content-Type

string

Yes

Must be application/json

X-Api-Key

string

Yes

Your provided API key for authentication

IP Whitelisting

Your server IP address must be whitelisted in production environments. Contact your administration to ensure your IP is properly configured.

Request Parameters

Parameter
Type
Required
Description

pid

string

Yes

Merchant ID/PID

ref_code

string

Yes

Unique ref_code which is generated in payment request

post_hash

string

Yes

The Base64-encoded encrypted hash. (See steps below).

Steps to generate post_hash :

  1. Generate the Request post_hash

1.1 Create Plaintext Hash: Concatenate the ref_code, pid, and your secret_key, then create an MD5 hash.

$ref_code = "YOUR_REF_CODE";
$pid = "YOUR_PID";
$secret_key = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY";

$local_hash = md5($ref_code . $pid . $secret_key);

1.2 Encrypt the Hash: Encrypt the $local_hash using the encrypt function shown below.

$encrypted_hash = encrypt($local_hash, $secret_key);
function encrypt($plaintext, $password) 
{    
    $method = "AES-256-CBC";    
    $key = hash('sha256', $password, true);    
    $iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);    
    $ciphertext = openssl_encrypt($plaintext, $method, $key,       
        OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);    
    $hash = hash_hmac('sha256', $ciphertext . $iv, $key, true);    
    return $iv . $hash . $ciphertext;
}

1.3 Base64 Encode: Base64-encode the raw binary output from the encrypt function. This final string is your post_hash.

$post_hash = base64_encode($encrypted_hash);
  1. Send the POST Request

Send a POST request containing pid, ref_code, and post_hash as a JSON body , and you will receive a response after validating the data.

PHP (cURL) Example:
<?php
// Your transaction data
$pid = "YOUR_PID";
$ref_code = "YOUR_REF_CODE";
$secret_key = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY";

// --- Step 1: Generate Hash ---
$local_hash = md5($ref_code . $pid . $secret_key);
$encrypted_hash = encrypt($local_hash, $secret_key);
$post_hash = base64_encode($encrypted_hash);

// --- Step 2: Send Request ---
$api_url = "https://<domain>/api/v2/status_polling.php";

$data = [
    'pid' => $pid,
    'ref_code' => $ref_code,
    'post_hash' => $post_hash
];

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
]);

$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

?>

429

[Dynamic rate limit message]

You have exceeded the allowed request rate.

500

Internal Server Error

A server-side error occurred. Please contact support.

  1. Verify the Response post_hash

Before trusting any data from the response, you must verify its post_hash to ensure the data is from us and has not been tampered with. This verification logic is identical to the logic used for verifying a callback.

You do not need to send an "Acknowledge" response for a status poll.

4.1 Compute the Local Hash

From the JSON response, get the order_id, received_amount, and status. Concatenate them with your secret_key and create an MD5 hash.

// $response_data is the decoded JSON response from /api/status_polling.php
$order_id = $response_data['order_id'];
$received_amount = $response_data['received_amount'];
$status = $response_data['status'];
 
$local_hash = md5($order_id . $received_amount . $status . $secret_key);

4.2 Decrypt the Remote Hash

Get the post_hash string from the JSON response. Base64-decode it, then pass the raw binary data to the decrypt function.

// Get the Base64 string from the response
$post_hash_base64 = $response_data['post_hash'];
 
// Decode it to get the raw binary ciphertext
$ivHashCiphertext = base64_decode($post_hash_base64);
 
// Decrypt using the function from the reference section below
$remote_hash = decrypt($ivHashCiphertext, $secret_key);

The decrypt function for your language is provided in the reference section below.

function decrypt($ivHashCiphertext, $password) 
{    
    $method = "AES-256-CBC";    
    $iv = substr($ivHashCiphertext, 0, 16);    
    $hash = substr($ivHashCiphertext, 16, 32);    
    $ciphertext = substr($ivHashCiphertext, 48);    
    $key = hash('sha256', $password, true);    
    if (!hash_equals(hash_hmac('sha256', $ciphertext . $iv, $key, true),$hash)) 
    return null;    
    return openssl_decrypt($ciphertext, $method, $key,    		    
    OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);                               
}

4.3 Compare the Hashes

Securely compare the local_hash you just computed with the remote_hash you decrypted. If they match, you can trust the data.

if ($remote_hash !== null && hash_equals($local_hash, $remote_hash)) {
    // --- SUCCESS: Data is verified ---
    // You can now trust the data and update your database.
    // echo "Status: " . $response_data['status'];
} else {
    // --- FAILURE: Hash mismatch! ---
    // Do NOT trust this data.
}

Rate Limiting

This API endpoint implements rate limiting to prevent abuse. If you exceed the allowed request rate, you will receive an error response.

Rate Limit Response: When rate limit is exceeded, you'll receive an error message with details about the limitation.

Security Considerations

  • Hash Verification: Always verify the response hash to ensure data integrity

  • HTTPS only: Use HTTPS for all API considerations

  • API key Protection: Keep your provided API keys secure and never expose them in client-side code

  • IP whitelisting: Ensure your server IP is properly whitelisted

  • Rate Limiting: Implement proper retry logic with exponential backoff

TRANSACTION STATUS :

  1. Amount Mismatch : We received money but customer paid different money than the requested money

  2. Approved : We received money same value as requested

  3. Late Approved : We recieved money but it happened late while doing reconcilation from bank side

  4. Declined : The transaction declined due to security reasons

  5. Failed : The payment failed from bank side

  6. Cancelled : This status for NonSeamless when customer cancel the payment from the screen

  7. User Timed Out: The user did not complete the payment within the session period.

COMPLAINT

We have a dedicated Complaint Section where merchants can manage transaction-related complaints. Through this section, merchants can submit complaints with all necessary details and optional evidence. Upon submission, a unique complaint reference ID is generated, allowing merchants to track the complaint’s status and receive real-time updates via the status-check API. This ensures a smooth, secure, and efficient process for resolving any transaction issues.
