Fund a Maya Wallet

Helps your customer to transfer their funds from your application onto their Maya wallet.

Maya’s Fund a Maya Wallet enables users to withdraw their funds from your application to their Maya Wallet.

To use Fund a Maya Wallet, you need to integrate with Maya Connect for user authentication, which is to enhance security and privacy, and with Money Movement for transferring funds.

⚠️

Maya allows transfers from external wallets to an upgraded (KYC1) Maya account only, otherwise transaction will be rejected with error code M133 (see Money Movement Errors for the list of error codes).

Maya recommends handling this error by prompting user to upgrade their Maya account via the Maya app. For more details, contact your Maya Relation Manager.

1 Getting started

Prior to initiating the integration process, it is essential to familiarize yourself with critical information about the solution and have accomplished the onboarding process.

Please refer to the Know Before you Code page to access relevant and important details regarding Money Movement.

For the onboarding requirements and checklists, consult the Quickstart guide.

2 Get authorization from your user

ℹ️ Are you a Maya Mini App partner?

Maya Mini App partners no longer need to implement this step. You may proceed to Funding a Maya Wallet .

Do you want to become a Maya Mini App partner? Check its use case and learn more .

This solution requires authorization from the user to fund their own Maya wallet. User needs to input their Maya credentials to authorize the transaction.

Step 1: Get authorization
GET https://connect-sb-issuing.paymaya.com/authorize

In order to obtain authorization from the user, you need to redirect them to Maya Connect's URI. At this stage, the user will be presented with the Maya login screen, where user will need to enter their Maya Credentials and OTP (One-Time Password).

Upon successful authorization, an authorization code will be generated and returned to your system.

🧠 Keep in mind

The authorization code is only valid for 5 minutes and is intended for single-use only. Maya will invalidate the code after initial use.

What happens during authorization:

  1. The user accesses your application and initiates a transfer of their funds to their Maya wallet.
  2. Using the provisioned Connect secret keys and following the API contract, your system sends an API request to GET https://connect-sb-issuing.paymaya.com/authorize
  3. Maya Connect displays the login and authorization form to the user.
  4. The user provides the necessary credentials and approves the authorization form.
  5. Maya Connect contacts your system by utilizing the designated redirect URL, supplying the authorization code and setting cookies.

Upon obtaining the authorization code, you need to exchange it for the user access token through the POST /token.

A successful call to this endpoint will generate and provide the user access token, refresh token, and token expiry. At the same time, Maya will invalidate the authorization code.

TokenLifetime
User Access Token3600 seconds
Refresh Token604800 seconds

🧠 Keep in mind

The user access token has a validity of only 3600 seconds. Once it expires, you have the following options:

  1. Utilize the refresh_token to generate new user access token. Learn more.
  2. Return to Step 1, where the user needs to authorize the request by logging in again.

What happens during get token:

  1. With the Connect secret keys provisioned to you and following the API contract, send the API request to POST https://connect-sb-issuing.paymaya.com/token providing the authorization code.

3 Funding user's Maya wallet

For you to proceed in funding user's Maya wallet, you will be needing to provide the user access token upon creating a transfer intent. This time-limited token will be used to identify user and their Maya wallet.

🧠 Keep in mind

User access token can be acquired in different ways, depends on your integration:

  1. For the standalone Fund a Maya Wallet, you will acquire the user access token through Step 2: Get the user access token.
  2. For Maya Mini App partners, user access token is provided to your system during session initiation
Step 1: Create a Transfer
POST https://api-test.paymaya.com/mi3-sandbox/transfers

Once you have acquired the user access tokens you can proceed with creating an intent to transfer, utilizing the user access token as the recipient.

🧠 Keep in mind

When using user access tokens to represent the recipient, the account type of the recipient (recipient.type) in the transfer request must be set as TOKEN.

At this stage, no actual movement of funds will occur. This allows you sufficient time to validate the transfer details, including recipient information, potential fees, and other relevant factors.

⚠️ Creating transfers always result in a new intent even when using the same request reference number. See also Know Before you Code for the information related to idempotency.


What happens during create transfer:

  1. With the API keys provisioned to you and following the API contract, send the API request to POST /transfers providing the user access token.
  2. Maya will respond with the transferId and its transfer details.

ℹ️ There is currently no time limit for executing a transfer after creation. Change on this behavior may be imposed in the future.

Step 2: Execute the Transfer
PUT https://api-test.paymaya.com/mi3-sandbox/transfers/{transferId}/execute

Once the intent to transfer has been created, utilize this endpoint to execute the transfer. To do so, you will need to provide the transferId obtained during the Step 1: Create a Transfer.

⚠️ The execution of a specific transfer can only be performed ONCE, and any subsequent attempts will result in an error.

Following a successful call, the state will be updated to either APPROVED or DECLINED depending on the status of the transaction processing.


What happens during execute transfer:

  1. With the API keys provisioned to you and following the API contract, send the API request to PUT /transfers/{transferId}/execute.
  2. Maya will return the status of the transfer after processing.
Conditional: Retrieve a Transfer
GET https://api-test.paymaya.com/mi3-sandbox/transfers/{transferId}

Maya made this endpoint available for you to obtain the transfer details or check the status of a transfer by using the transferId obtained during Step 1: Create a Transfer.


What happens during retrieve transfer:

  1. With the API keys provisioned to you and following the API contract, send the API request to GET /transfers/{transferId}.
  2. Maya will return the transfer details and its state.

🧩 When to use Retrieve a Transfer

Maya recommends using Retrieve a Transfer when you have encountered the following scenarios during Execute transfer and Retrieve a transfer, to validate the transaction before you proceed to the next steps (For example: Execute a transfer):

  1. When you did not receive response from Maya.
  2. When the response from Maya is ambiguous (gateway errors, time outs, anything unparsable). See Money Movement errors for more details.
