Payment Process Flow

Android Integration

This post shows the integration of PayU with your android application. Before proceeding further with this blog, make sure that you must already have installed and configured:

• Java JDK version 1.6 or greater
• Android SDK
• A Git client
• Android Studio / Eclipse
• All PayU PG Prerequisites (Key, Salt)

PayU provides the following two types of solutions using their SDK:

• Non-Seamless: In case you decide to not build your own UI, you are free to use this module
• Seamless: In this case you need to build your own UI to collect user banking information for example credit card number, CVV etc.

Non-Seamless Integration: Using SDK’s Inbuilt UI

• Get all the required parameters
• Create an object of PaymentParams, put all the obtained parameters in it by using its default set methods and setHash to paymentHash

  PaymentParams mPaymentParams = new PaymentParams();
  mPaymentParams.setKey(“gtKFFx”);
  mPaymentParams.setAmount(“15.0”);
  mPaymentParams.setProductInfo(“Tshirt”);
  mPaymentParams.setFirstName(“Guru”);
  mPaymentParams.setEmail(“guru@gmail.com”);
  mPaymentParams.setTxnId(“0123479543689”);
  mPaymentParams.setSurl(“https://payu.herokuapp.com/success”);
  mPaymentParams.setFurl(“https://payu.herokuapp.com/failure");
  mPaymentParams.setUdf1(“udf1l”);
  mPaymentParams.setUdf2(“udf2”);
  mPaymentParams.setUdf3(“udf3”);
  mPaymentParams.setUdf4(“udf4”);
  mPaymentParams.setUdf5(“udf5”);
  
  mPaymentParams.setHash("your payment hash");
  

  • You don’t need to set udf1-5 in case you are not using them
  • Email and Firstname can be empty strings “” if you don’t want to use them
  • For store user card feature
    mPaymentParams.setUserCredentials("your_key:user_id"), you need to pass user_credentials here
  • For offers mPaymentParams.setOfferKey("your_offer_key")
  • For any other payment default param (like phone and others)mPaymentParams.setPhone("your_number")

• Get the required hashes by using your own server. Create an object of class PayuHashes and set the corresponding hashes using the default set methods provided

  mPaymentParams.setHash(payuHashes.getPaymentHash());
  

• Create a new intent pointing to PayUBaseActivity and do the following:

  intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.ENV, PayuConstants.PRODUCTION_ENV);  
  intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.PAYMENT_DEFAULT_PARAMS, mPaymentParams);  
  intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.PAYU_HASHES, payuHashes);
  

• To enable one-click payment

  // Enable one click with MOBILE as storage option for hash
  intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.STORE_ONE_CLICK_HASH,PayuConstants.STORE_ONE_CLICK_HASH_MOBILE);
  OR
  // Enable once click with MERCHANT SERVER as storage option for hash
  intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.STORE_ONE_CLICK_HASH,PayuConstants.STORE_ONE_CLICK_HASH_SERVER);
  OR
  // DISABLE one click payment
  intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.STORE_ONE_CLICK_HASH,PayuConstants.STORE_ONE_CLICK_HASH_NONE);
  

• Start the activity and let PayU SDK take care of the rest
  startActivity(intent);

Seamless Integration: Using your own UI

In seamless kind of integration, we will only discuss the example of Credit Card and Net Banking transactions. Though you can integrate Cash Cards, Store Cards, one-click Payment Cards and PayU Money payments using this technique.

Seamless Credit / Debit card Payment Integration

Create an object of PaymentParams, put all the obtained parameters in it by using its default set methods in the same way as you will create for the non-seamless style and setHash to paymentHash

• Set the following additional properties to mPaymentParams

  mPaymentParams.setCardNumber(cardNumber);
  mPaymentParams.setCardName(cardName);
  mPaymentParams.setNameOnCard(cardName);
  mPaymentParams.setExpiryMonth(expiryMonth);// MM
  mPaymentParams.setExpiryYear(expiryYear);// YYYY  
  mPaymentParams.setCvv(cvv);
  

• To enable one-click payment

  // To store one click payment hash pass 1
  mPaymentParams.setEnableOneClickPayment(1);
  // Otherwise pass 0, OR don't call the method at all
  mPaymentParams.setEnableOneClickPayment(0);
  

• Create a PaymentPostParams object with the above data of the type PostData. Make sure to set the environment (test or prod), create intent and launch the PaymentsActivity activity

  PostData postData = new PaymentPostParams(mPaymentParams, PayuConstants.CC).getPaymentPostParams();
  if (postData.getCode() == PayuErrors.NO_ERROR) {
    // launch webview
    PayuConfig payuConfig = new PayuConfig();
    payuConfig.setEnvironment(PayuConstants.PRODUCTION_ENV);
    payuConfig.setData(postData.getResult());
    Intent intent = new Intent(this,PaymentsActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.PAYU_CONFIG,payuConfig);
    startActivityForResult(intent, PayuConstants.PAYU_REQUEST_CODE);
  } else {
    // something went wrong
    Toast.makeText(this,postData.getResult(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }

  At this point you should be able to see Bank’s 3D Secure page like the following for HDFC Bank

Seamless Net Banking Integration

• Create an object of PaymentParams, put all the obtained parameters in it by using its default set methods in the same way as you will create for the non-seamless style and setHash to paymentHash
• Get the bankCode (String) of selected bank from your spinner/list view adapter and add it to the mPaymentParams created above

  mPaymentParams.setBankCode(bankCode);
  

• Create PaymentPostParams object of the type PostData and start the PaymentsActivity

  PostData postData = new PaymentPostParams(mPaymentParams, PayuConstants.NB).getPaymentPostParams();
  if (postData.getCode() == PayuErrors.NO_ERROR){
    // launch webview
    PayuConfig payuConfig = new PayuConfig();
    payuConfig.setEnvironment(PayuConstants.PRODUCTION_ENV);
    payuConfig.setData(postData.getResult());
    Intent intent = new Intent(this,PaymentsActivity.class); 
    intent.putExtra(PayuConstants.PAYU_CONFIG,payuConfig); 
    startActivityForResult(intent, PayuConstants.PAYU_REQUEST_CODE);
  } else {
    // something went wrong
    Toast.makeText(this,postData.getResult(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
  }

To start off the integration process, you would be provided a test setup by PayU where you would be given a test merchant account and test credit card credentials to have a first-hand experience of the overall transaction flow. Here, you can make transaction request in our sample app (pointed to the testing server). Next step is to integrate the SDK code with your app. Once the testing is complete, you should be ready to point your app to the PayU production server for some real transactions.

Test credentials

Start with test key and salt (which targets the test server) to enable extra logs. Please use the following test account (only on test environment):

• key: gtKFFx
• Salt: eCwWELxi

Dummy test card

This will succeed only in the test environment. Also, all other cards (real or not) will fail on the test server.

• Name on Card: Any name
• Card Number: 5123456789012346
• CVV: 123
• Expiry Date: 05/2017

Its all about getting started with PayU integration in Android App. Best of Luck for you integration!
