XML Subscription

The Gateway's Subscription feature is a versatile solution which can be used in two main ways:

  • 1. Automatic Subscription: This is a fully automated solution that will manage the lifetime of a recurring payment once it is registered and notify the merchant of any issues that happen during it's lifetime.
  • 2. Manual Subscription: With this solution, recurring payments are set up in our system just as they are for automatic payments. The main difference is that our system does not actually process payments automatically. Instead, when a payment is pending, the merchant should initiate the payment, either via an “XML Payment Request” or through the SelfCare System (Merchant Portal). Another difference with this method is that you can modify the amount of the payment.

This feature requires that you also use the Secure Card feature. Subscriptions use Secure Cards (tokens) to perform payments.

The Subscription solution has two main components:

  • Stored Subscriptions: They act not as subscription, but as templates for multiple subscriptions registered under them. They define the period (weekly / monthly / quarterly / annually), the number of those periods (if it's a fixed number), setup price, recurring price, etc. They are intended to represent a product, for example. This way you can define “models” which can be applied to many clients with the same settings.
  • Subscriptions: These are the actual subscriptions. Every subscription set up has to be under a Stored Subscription. However some of the settings of the stored subscription can be overridden by the Subscription itself, as you will see below. Subscriptions are intended to represent a specific order of a product represented by the stored subscription that it's under. Also, they represent the “charging” configuration for a specific client.


The following resources are the same for all the requests and responses you find in this page:

Subscriptions Notification

The subscription notification is a feature which allows the Payment Gateway to notify the Merchant about events associated with subscriptions.

This is only possible when the Subscription Notification URL is set - you can configure it using the Terminal Setup page of the SelfCare System (Merchant Portal). If the URL is in place, a POST notification will be sent to this URL each time an automated activity happens on any active subscriptions. Note that manual changes applied to subscriptions via the SelfCare System will not generate these notifications.


Request Body Fields

The data sent to the Subscription Notification URL contains all the normal subscription response fields (depending on the action performed, as NOTIFICATIONTYPE), plus the following extra fields below. So, to know how each notification body works, you need to consider the same body of each feature of the Subscription solution, then add the following fields:

Filter:

FIELD DESCRIPTION
NOTIFICATIONTYPE Possible values for subscriptions:
SUBSCRIPTIONCREATION.
SUBSCRIPTIONUPDATING .
SUBSCRIPTIONDELETION .
SUBSCRIPTIONSETUPPAYMENT .
SUBSCRIPTIONRECURRINGPAYMENT .
Possible values for stored subscriptions:
STOREDSUBSCRIPTIONCREATION .
STOREDSUBSCRIPTIONUPDATING .
STOREDSUBSCRIPTIONDELETION.
ORDERID The Order ID that the system assigned to the Subscription payment. Only sent for SUBSCRIPTIONSETUPPAYMENT and SUBSCRIPTIONRECURRINGPAYMENT. Maximum of 24 characters.
TERMINALID The Terminal ID that the subscription is set up on.
AMOUNT The amount of the subscription payment as a 2 digit decimal or an Integer value for JPY amounts. Only sent for SUBSCRIPTIONSETUPPAYMENT and SUBSCRIPTIONRECURRINGPAYMENT.
DATETIME Request date and time. Format: DD-MM-YYYY:HH:MM:SS:SSS.
HASH A HASH code formed by part of the request fields. The formation rule is given at the ND001 - Hash Formation, in the next section.


Notes and Details About the Request

ND001 - Hash Formation

The general rule to build HASH field is given at the Special Fields and Parameters page, under the Hash Parameter section. For this specific feature, you should use the following formats:

When the NOTIFICATIONTYPE is SUBSCRIPTIONSETUPPAYMENT or SUBSCRIPTIONRECURRINGPAYMENT:

TERMINALID:MERCHANTREF:NOTIFICATIONTYPE:DATETIME:ORDERID:AMOUNT:RESPONSECODE:RESPONSETEXT:SECRET

Any other case:

TERMINALID:MERCHANTREF:NOTIFICATIONTYPE:DATETIME:RESPONSECODE:RESPONSETEXT:SECRET

Note that for Stored Subscriptions, RESPONSECODE and RESPONSETEXT, will always be blank.


ND002 - Data Encoding for Requests

All data sent to us should be correctly encoded using UTF-8 as the character encoding.


Response Body Fields

The successful response expected to this request is a body containing a “OK” with a HTTP Status of 200. Anything else will be considered an unsuccessful attempt of notification by the Payment Gateway.
