4. Test your own integration

Before going live, verify that your integration behaves correctly in both successful and exceptional scenarios. Completing this checklist helps ensure a smooth experience.


Integration setup

  • API authentication is configured correctly.
  • Your integration uses the correct Service ID and credentials.
  • Required order information (amount, currency, description, reference, product data etc.) is included in every payment request.
  • Every order uses a unique reference.

Creating a payment

  • A payment can be created successfully
  • The shopper is redirected to the PAY. checkout.
  • The correct payment amount is displayed.
  • The correct currency is displayed.
  • The order description is shown correctly.
  • Duplicate payment requests do not accidentally create duplicate orders.

Payment result handling

Verify that your application correctly handles every possible payment outcome.

  • Successful payment
  • Cancelled payment
  • Failed payment
  • Pending payment
  • Authorised/capture payment (when applicable)
  • Verify manual review status (when applicable)

For each status, verify that:

  • The correct message is shown to the shopper.
  • The order status in your system is updated correctly. (Exchange calls)
  • No duplicate orders are created.
  • You capture authorised payment.

Exchange URL/webhook handling

  • Your Exchange URL is publicly accessible.
  • Your endpoint returns a successful HTTP response.
  • Payment updates are processed only once, even if the same callback is received multiple times.
  • Your integration does not rely solely on the customer returning to your webshop.
  • Callback failures are logged for troubleshooting.

Customer return flow

  • Temporary failures show a clear message to the customer.
  • Verify page is shown when the transaction is in the VERIFY.
  • Payment succesfull page is implemented correctly.

Refunds (if implemented)

  • Full refunds work correctly.
  • Partial refunds work correctly.
  • Refund status is synchronised with your platform.

Webhook reliability

  • Duplicate callbacks are ignored safely.
  • Unknown order IDs are handled gracefully.

Testing edge cases

  • Very small payment amounts.
  • Large payment amounts.
  • Expired payment links (if applicable).
  • Customer abandons payment.
  • Customer closes the browser during checkout.
  • Customer uses the browser Back button.
  • Payment session expires (mainly happens with 4G/5G on cellphone)

Logging

  • API requests are logged (excluding sensitive data).
  • API responses are logged.
  • Errors can be traced using order IDs.

Production readiness

Before requesting certification or going live:

  • Test mode has been disabled
  • Production credentials have been configured
  • The exchange URL points to the production environment.
  • Monitoring is in place for feiled payments and callback errors.
  • A succesful end-to-end has been completed in the production environment

Ready for certification

Your integration is ready for review when:

  • All tiems in this checklist have been completed.
  • All suported payment flows have been tested.
  • Error scenarios has been verified
  • No critical issues remain.
