Boost

Boost allows you to accept payments from consumers that use a Boost e-wallet. This payment method implements a synchronous payment flow that redirects the consumer to Boost's payment page where the transacting can be completed by the consumer. The consumer can do this either by using their Boost mobile app to scan the QR code on the payment page or logging in on the payment page using their credentials.

Transaction Flow

  1. Consumer completes the checkout and selects Boost as payment option
  2. Merchant issues a transaction request to the PSP to initiate a Boost transaction
  3. PSP creates a Boost transaction with PPRO using the TRANSACTION call
  4. PPRO responds with a redirect URL to the Boost payment page
  5. PSP forwards the redirect URL to the Merchant
  6. Merchant displays the Boost payment page to the Consumer by redirecting him using the redirect URL
  7. Consumer a) either uses the Boost app to scan the QR code that is displayed on the payment page and confirms the transaction in the Boost app or b) enters their login credentials on the Boost payment page and uses a PIN to authorize the transaction
  8. Boost sends a success notification to PPRO
  9. PPRO sends a notification to the PSP
  10. PSP queries the transaction status using GETTXSTATUS
  11. PPRO returns the SUCCEEDED transaction status
  12. PSP proceeds to notify the merchant about the completed transaction
