Overview of "Pay by link"
Filling in the "Operation characteristics" input field
Operation characteristics describe the paymethod used for an operation. You can enter the following operation characteristics: Currency, amount, type of capture, reference number, merchant reference number, information about your shopping cart, invoice recipient, country code and iDEAL issuer ID.
Selecting currency and amount
When you open the drop-down "Currency" menu, you will see all currencies that can be selected. You can narrow the search to a specific amount of money in the "Amount" input field.
"Amount" input field
The amount entered depends on the currency selected beforehand from the drop-down "Currency" menu. You must enter the amount in the largest currency unit using the decimal notation applicable for the currency (e.g. €10.50). Whether decimals are allowed depends on the respective currency.
Selecting the type of capture
The type of capture specifies when the operation was captured by the bank following authorisation of the amount.
A description of the types of capture can be found in the "Types of capture" table below.
"Manual" type of capture
Please contact Computop Support if you wish to learn more about the options available for the "Manual" type of capture.
| Type of capture | Description |
|---|---|
Manual | Following authorisation of the operation by the bank, the amount must be captured by the merchant manually |
Auto | Following authorisation of the operation by the bank, the amount is captured straight away |
Entering the reference number and merchant reference number
The reference number and the merchant reference number are used for unique identification of the operation within the application.
The merchant reference number is used as a payment reference, which is specified in the corresponding EPA file issued by your bank.
Reference Number
Please note that operations cannot be assigned or created without the input of a unique reference number (payment reference).
The application automatically generates the merchant reference number for every operation. The merchant reference number allows you identify each operation uniquely. You only need to enter the merchant reference number if you wish to add a recurring direct debit or a final direct debit to an operation that already exists.
Entering information about your shopping cart
This is where you can enter the merchandise or services that your customer ordered from you.
"Information about your shopping cart" input field
The "Information about your shopping cart" input field must be filled in according to the rules for the paymethod and the payment method provider applicable when the operation was created. The corresponding parameters in the paymethods are "OrderDesc" and "OrderDesc2".

Invoice recipients must be entered as follows: First name, last name (e.g. Joe Bloggs)
