Technical introduction

About the API​

The PaysafeCard SOPG (Service Oriented Payment Gateway) API is based on the SOAP protocol. SOPG provides payment features as a web service.

Prerequisites​

You can connect to the PaysafeCard system only if the following prerequisites are fulfilled:

  • SOPG username and password: PaysafeCard provides the SOPG username and password for request authentication. The user has functions for payment and refund available.

  • Payment server IP authorization: The payment server IP address must be authorized in the production environment. If a 403 error is received when trying to access the service, the IP address is likely not yet allowed to access the system.

  • Content type: Make sure the Content-Type in the HTTP header is set to application/xml when submitting requests.

  • Character encoding: Character encoding must use UTF-8.

Test Environment and Endpoints​

PaysafeCard provides the PaysafeCard test system, which is a test environment for the integration of new business partners.

Every new business partner must first integrate the payment platform in the test system. After the integration is completed, a UAT (User Acceptance Test) must be performed to ensure a seamless integration flow.

After the integration is accepted in the Service Center, the business partner can be moved to the production system. For the business partner, this consists of the following steps:

  • Update to production credentials.
  • Exchange the Service Endpoint URL.
  • Whitelist the server IPs.

All data is provided by the Merchant Service Center.
