Make an Estonian Bank payment

Estonian Bank payments follow our standardized REDIRECT payment flow. However, we recommend including all relevant settings for any authentication methods you support.

To make a Estonian Banks payment, you'll need to provide the following data at minimum when calling our /v1/payment-charges endpoint:

Field	Description
`paymentMethod`	`ESTONIAN_BANKS`
`amount.value`	The amount to be paid in the smallest units of the currency used.
`amount.currency`	`EUR`
`consumer.country`	The country of residence of the consumer.
authenticationSettings: REDIRECT `settings.returnUrl`	Specify the URL to which the consumer should be redirected after completing the payment. This is required for the `REDIRECT` payment flow.

Pick the desired authentication method

REDIRECT

Redirect your consumer to the returned $.authenticationMethods[?(@.type == "REDIRECT")].details.requestUrl.
For example, with the value of https://redirection-target.ppro.com/ using the returned $.authenticationMethods[?(@.type == "REDIRECT")].details.requestMethod HTTP method.
The consumer will be presented with the reference number and instructions to complete the payment.

Handling the payment result

REDIRECT

After the consumer completes the payment, they are redirected to the returnUrl specified in the payment charge creation request.
Upon redirect back to your site, retrieve the latest payment status by performing a GET /v1/payment-charges/{paymentChargeId}. Use the returned status field to determine and display the final payment outcome to the consumer.
Additionally, webhooks are triggered to notify you of the payment result. This ensures you receive the outcome even if the consumer closes their browser or fails to return to your website.

Payment instrument

An instrument of type BANK_ACCOUNT will be created for Latvian Banks payments.

Request

GET /v1/payment-instruments/{instrument-id}

Response

{
    "id": "instr_h2HxFOktp0krsRbrF0tVQ",
    "type": "BANK_ACCOUNT"
}

Sandbox testing

Estonian Banks use PPRO's mock authenticator in sandbox. Learn more.
