Rapid testing

This page provides a quick overview of how to create a transaction with our REST payment WebService.

Preparing your environment

If you use PHP with our SDK, we recommend to store your keys in a configuration file.

Example with test keys:

https://github.com/lyra/rest-php-examples/blob/master/www/keys.PCI.php

<?php
/**
 * Get the client
 */
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

/**
 * Define configuration
 */

/* Username, password and endpoint used for server to server web-service calls */
Lyra\Client::setDefaultUsername("69876357");
Lyra\Client::setDefaultPassword("testpassword_DEMOPRIVATEKEY23G4475zXZQ2UA5x7M");
Lyra\Client::setDefaultEndpoint("https://api.payzen.eu");

Make sure you replace them with your personal keys.

For more information, see Server SDKs and Prerequisites.

Creating a new transaction

In order to create a new transaction using a new payment method, one must use the Charge/CreatePayment Web Service:

/doc/en-EN/rest/V4.0/api/kb/authentication.html
https://github.com/lyra/rest-php-examples/blob/master/www/PCI.php#L9-L49
https://api.systempay.fr/api-payment/V4/Charge/CreatePayment
{
    "amount": 990,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "paymentForms": [
        {
          "paymentMethodType": "CARD",
          "pan": "4970100000000055",
          "expiryMonth": "11",
          "expiryYear": "21",
          "securityCode": "123"
        }
      ]
    }
}
/**
 * I initialize the PHP SDK
 */
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/keys.PCI.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/helpers.php';

/** 
 * Initialize the SDK 
 * see keys.php
 */
$client = new Lyra\Client();

/**
 * Define the card to use
 */
$card = array(
  "paymentMethodType" => "CARD",
  "pan" => "4970100000000055",
  "expiryMonth" => "11",
  "expiryYear" => "21",
  "securityCode" => "123"
);

/**
 * starting to create a transaction
 */
$store = array(
  "amount" => 250, 
  "currency" => "EUR",
  "formAction" => "REGISTER_PAY",
  "paymentForms" => array($card),
  "customer" => array(
    "email" => "sample@example.com",
    "orderId" => uniqid("MyOrderId")
));

/**
 * do the web-service call
 */
$response = $client->post("V4/Charge/CreatePayment", $store);

Two types of responses are possible (defined in answer._type ):

value Description
V4/Payment No 3D Secure, the response contains the details of the newly created transaction.
V4/Charge/RedirectRequest Strong authentication (such as 3D Secure) is required. The Buyer must be redirected.

For more information on processing of the V4/Charge/RedirectRequest response and strong authentication, such as 3D Secure, go to: Creating a transaction (PCI and 3D Secure).

Example of V4/Payment response:
