Initiate a Buy Now Pay Later payment

Flow

The complete synchronous BNPL payment flow using the Fintecture Connect webview has been simplified into the following steps:

  1. Request a PIS dedicated access token
  2. Build a BNPL Payment Session and redirect the payer to the returned Connect URL
  3. Verify the payment on callback such that the payment status and order ID matches
  4. Listen to Webhook to intercept payments status change events as a redundant channel to the redirect callback

💡 Note

Step 4 is identified as optional but as the payment method relies mostly on a redirection authentication model, it is important to use a redundant payment notification channel in case the redirection fails. Some implementations use webhooks as the main payment notification channel and the redirection simply used to display the resulting payment result.

Payment statuses

Below are detailed the payment statuses encountered in the case of a BNPL payment.


The flow linked to BNPL is divided into 2 major stages:

  • In the first one, the payer confirms the order and commits to pay it later on (materialized by the order_created status). The order can therefore be validated by the merchant.
  • The second one gives an indication of the actual financing which closes with payment_created

    🚧 Important

    Be careful at that stage since payer can callback his payment using his bank.
    This woud lead to a claim being opened

Take a look at the below table to know more about the statuses.
