In this section, you'll find everything you need to manage the various entry points your application will receive during and after an Axepta BNP Paribas Online payment.
You'll learn:
- Which URLs to transmit when creating a payment,
- The order in which they are called,
- How to interpret the returned information,
- How to verify the actual status of a transaction,
- How to manage webhooks
1. Provide URLs : return, cancel, webhook
When initializing the payment, you must provide a URLs object:
urls{
"return":"https://myProcessingServer.net/myApi/success.php?transId=95330876-67ae-4949-a11c-b9a29257831b",
"cancel":"https://myProcessingServer.net/myApi/cancel.php?transId=95330876-67ae-4949-a11c-b9a29257831b",
"webhook":"https://myBackOfficeServer.net/webhook.php"
}
- return = redirection when the customer clicks the validation button at the end of payment
- cancel = redirection if the customer cancels
- webhook = asynchronous and guaranteed notification, regardless of the customer's action
2. Return URL & Cancel URL
One of these two URLs (return or cancel) will be called at the end of transaction processing to:
- Redirect the customer to the merchant's site at the end of the transaction
- Inform the merchant of the transaction status: whether it was validated or not
- Return the unique transaction identifier payId generated by Axepta Online to the merchant's back office
When either of these URLs is called, Axepta BNP Paribas Online automatically adds the parameter: PayId=<paymentId generated by Axepta> - see Integration recommendation
Add a unique identifier from your system to your URLs to link the response to your order.
Example of URL called during customer payment validation:
- en vert, the URL passed during payment initialization, with the transId added to link the response to a merchant ID.
- en rouge, the PayId parameter added by the server.
https://myProcessingServer.net/myApi/success.php?transId=95330876-67ae-4949-a11c-b9a29257831b&PayId=b6eae9b16e3343fa90da39d4ee7bf4ad
What to Do When You Receive This Call?
When one of these URLs is called:
Retrieve the PayId parameter.
Call the API to get the actual transaction status: GET /payments/getByPayId/{payId} - Retrieve payment details by Payment ID
- Update your order based on the status and responseCode.
Important Fields in the API Response
- Amount: value, capturedValue, refundedValue
- Identifiers: payId, transId, xId, refNr
- Status: status = AUTHORIZED, CAPTURED, FAILED, etc.
- Result:
- responseCode = "00000000" if successful
- responseDescription = text message
Example Response
{
"amount":{
"value":126,
"currency":"EUR",
"capturedValue":0,
"refundedValue":0
},
"payId":"91a6299a704147bf934aabd79fd1dc5d",
"merchantId":"MY_MERCHANT_ID",
"transId":"Trans361039",
"xId":"b55e68b7e4644a90836ae31effe1fc60",
"refNr":"refNb77254",
"status":"AUTHORIZED",
"responseCode":"00000000",
"responseDescription":"Transaction successful",
"paymentMethods":{
"type":"CARD"
}
}
3. Webhook
The Webhook notification is the only reliable way to be informed of transaction completion. It is essential for the merchant site to process requests received at the Webhook URL.
This notification is sent even if the customer:
- Closes their browser,
- Loses connection,
- Doesn't return to your site.
When is it sent?
At the end of each asynchronous payment processing.
What you need to do
- Read the JSON payload
- Identify the transaction via payId or transId
- Update your system
- Respond with a 200 OK status code
Important:
Never trigger order finalization based solely on the Return URL.
Always use the webhook as the reliable source of information.

Sécurité et Vérification
Afin de garantir l'authenticité des données du webhook, elle sont signées avec un HMAC-SHA256.
La signature est portée par 3 header http dans le message webhook.
Signature headers
| X-Paygate-Signature-Version | Version du format de la signature (actuellement, v1) |
| X-Paygate-Timestamp | Unix epoch timestamp (secondes depuis 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, UTC) |
| X-Paygate-Signature | Signature dans le format |
Génération de la signature (Axepta BNP-Paribas Online)
signed_payload = timestamp + "." + raw_json_body
signature = HMAC_SHA256(secret, signed_payload)
secret– HMAC key- La
signaturegénérée est encodé 'hex' et le header est valorisé comme suit:
X-Paygate-Signature: v1=<hex-hmac>Vérification de la signature (Commerçant)
Pour vérifier l'authenticité des données du message webhook:
Extraire les données portées par les headers HTTP:
X-Paygate-TimestampX-Paygate-Signature
- Prendre les données brutes de la payoad Json (les données binaire reçues)
Calculer le HMAC avec les données extraites
signed_payload = timestamp + "." + raw_body expected_signature = HMAC_SHA256(secret, signed_payload)- Comparer la signature calculée avec celle reçue en utilisant une méthode "constant-time"
- Valider le webhook si
- Les signatures sont identiques
- le Timestamp est compris dans les ±5 minutes par rapport à votre horloge locale.
Recommandations d’intégration
- Toujours vérifier la transaction via le endpoint getByPayId, même si le retour client laisse penser à un succès.
- Toujours traiter le webhook.
- Toujours vérifier l'authenticité des données du webhook en validant sa signature.
- Logger tous les appels return/cancel/webhook.
