Make a Trustly payment

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

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

Field	Description
paymentMethod	`TRUSTLY`
amount.value	The amount to be paid in the smallest units of the currency used.
amount.currency	`EUR`
consumer.name	The name of the consumer.
consumer.country	The country where the consumer is shopping.
authenticationSettings: REDIRECT settings.returnUrl	Add the url where the consumer should be redirected to after they complete the payment. Required for the `REDIRECT` payment flow.
consumer.merchantConsumerReference	The ID, username, hash, or anything used to identify the consumer. Make sure it is the same ID, username, or hash used in the merchant's shopping system. For example, if the shopper John Doe is identified with the unique identifier ABCXYZ123, populate the field with ABCXYZ123.

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

❗️
Provider confirmation pending
Depending on the merchants risk configuration, Trustly payments are not always instantly authorised. Some payment charges may transition to the AUTHORIZATION_ASYNC status until further confirmation is received from the scheme. Learn more.

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 Trustly payments where the consumers bank account details can be returned.

Request

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

Response

{
"type": "BANK_ACCOUNT",
"id": "instr_i4hKkRqbvZPPZiV6oed2h",
"details": {}
