Prerequisites
Before performing the mobile integration of the SDK (Android and iOS ), you must integrate the following prerequisites:
- Authentication keys
- REST API keys
- REST API server name
- Mobile SDK keys
- Signature keys
- Merchant server
Authentication keys
Three keys are necessary to authenticate your exchanges with the payment platform:
KEY | Description |
---|---|
Server to server key | For the calls to web services |
Mobile SDK key | For creating a payment screen in your mobile application. |
Signature key | For checking the integrity of the data returned in the IPN and/or JSON returned by the SDK during the transaction status verification stage. |
Sign in to the Merchant Back Office
The keys are available in the
- Sign in to the
Merchant Back Office :
- Enter your login. The login is sent to the Merchant's e-mail address (the subject of the e-mail is Connection identifiers - [your shop name].
- Enter your password. The password is sent to the Merchant's e-mail address (the subject of the e-mail is Connection identifiers - [your shop name].
- Click the Validate button to access the transaction management page.
Finding the keys
You can retrieve your API keys and connection identifiers from the
In the Settings > Shop menu, select your shop and go to the REST API keys tab.
The tab contains all the information required for authentication:
REST API keys
The REST payment Web Services use Basic HTTP authentication for securing the calls between the merchant server and the payment gateway servers (see Authentication phase for more information). In order to proceed to authentication, you need a login and a password.
They can be retrieved in the REST API Keys tab of the
PARAMETER | Description |
---|---|
User | Username for building the header Authorization string. |
Test password | Password for building the header Authorization string for test transactions (with test cards). |
Production password | Password for building the header Authorization string for production transactions (with real cards). |
For more information on the implementation, see Implementation using different programming languages.
REST API server name
The REST API server name parameter visible in the same screen is also required: this is the URL to which to send REST API requests. It is requested for the initialization of the mobile SDK.
Mobile SDK keys
The mobile SDK requires a key upon its initialization (i.e. the parameter passed when calling the Lyra.init
method). Two keys are available in the
KEY | Description |
---|---|
Public test key | Public key for making test payments. |
Public production key | Public key for making production payments. |
The key is called 'public' because it is publicly visible in the source code of your mobile application.
Signature keys
There are two ways of retrieving the details of a newly created transaction:
Server notification (IPN) | Every time a transaction is created, we call the merchant server to notify it. |
End of payment | When the payment is made, the same information is sent to the mobile SDK, which transmits it to your mobile application. |
Both of these information flows can be intercepted or modified during transport. A hashing process is therefore used to allow the merchant to verify the authenticity and integrity of the received data and thus securely check the status of the transaction.
There are two keys for this purpose:
KEY | Description |
---|---|
HMAC SHA256 test key | Allows to confirm data authenticity for test transactions. |
HMAC SHA256 production key | Allows to confirm data authenticity for production transactions. |
For computing the key during IPN calls, go to Using the IPN (notification URL). For computing the key when checking the transaction result, go to the iOS and Android integration guides.
Merchant server
Pour des raisons de sécurité et pour éviter les opérations frauduleuses, le SDK mobile s'appuie sur un serveur marchand que vous devez mettre à disposition.
Ce serveur sert à :
- Confirm that the transactions to be transmitted to the payment gateway correspond to the purchases on your merchant website, and that the amounts and currencies are correct,
- Securely store your communication keys with the payment gateway,
- receive instant notifications (IPN) from the payment platform, for each event (payment accepted, refused, etc.)
Merchant server example
An implementation example in Java Spring Boot is at your disposal to simplify your integration.
