Redirect to Payment Page
Get started with redirecting the end users to the Payment Page
The first step in the integration of the Payment Page solution is simply redirecting your customer to the Payment Page. Two types of payment pages are supported at the moment.
SEP
SEP supports traditional direct carrier billing payment methods and flows. In order to use SEP redirect your customer to the following endpoint:
https://api.centili.com/payment/widget
By redirecting the customer to the endpoint, you initiate the payment process. The customer is presented with a payment flow, which is predefined for your service. The flow is determined by the API key parameter which is issued to you by Centili.
Note:
Available flows and mandatory steps are depending on particular country and operator's regulations and rules.
You can check our site for available flows and technologies.
API key and country are the only mandatory parameters. An API key is defined and issued for each service separately. The country parameter is in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2-code format.
By adding the API key and country parameters, you should get a redirect URL, similar to the one shown in the following example:
https://api.centili.com/payment/widget?apikey=971014d1755c5a07de61e6a8751655cb&country=gb
The resulting URL will automatically open a localized page in the language of the provided country. The customer should be presented with a page that looks like this:
Example Payment Page - Entry page
In case of successful initiation of the payment process, Centili will complete all the steps needed for a successful transaction.
Payment Widget
The Payment Widget supports multiple payment methods and their respective flows. Direct carrier billing is supported as well but the payment process is executed over SEP.
In order to use the Payment Widget redirect your customer to the following endpoint. Parameters are the same as with SEP.
