Why send Invoice Payments?

Invoice Payments allows merchants to send a long lived payment link where customers can process their payment.

In this guide you will learn how to generate a link where you can accept payments from customers through conversational transactions (e.g. chatbots).

Step 1: Setup Maya Business Manager

First, setup your Maya Business Manager account.

Step 2: Generating the link of your invoice

On your server-side application, create an endpoint or method that will generate the URL for the invoice

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

const fetch = require('node-fetch');

app.post('/generate-invoice', async (req, res) => {
  const url = 'https://pg-sandbox.paymaya.com/invoice/v2/invoices';
    const options = {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        Accept: 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        Authorization: `Basic ${btoa('SECRET_KEY')}`
    },
    body: req.body
    };

    fetch(url, options)
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(json => {
        res.send({
          invoiceUrl: res.invoiceUrl
        });
    })
    .catch(err => console.error('error:' + err));
});

app.listen(8080, () => console.log(`Listening on port ${8080}!`));

Your application can configure the invoice data by passing the fields below.

{
  "invoiceNumber": "INV0001",
  "type": "SINGLE",
  "totalAmount": {
    "value": 100,
    "currency": "PHP"
  },
  "redirectUrl": {
    "success": "https://www.merchantsite.com/success",
    "failure": "https://www.merchantsite.com/failure",
    "cancel": "https://www.merchantsite.com/cancel"
  },
  "requestReferenceNumber": "1551191039",
  "metadata": {}
}

One of the important fields when creating the invoice is the redirectUrl in which you will pass the following:

success - URL of the page where your customers will be redirected after a successful payment.
failure - URL of the page where your customers will be redirected to when the payment fails.
cancel - URL of the page where your customer will be redirected when they cancel a payment.

Types of Invoice

The JSON body field type has 2 values: Single and Open which serves different purpose.

Type	Value	Description
Single Invoice	`SINGLE`	Once a payment is completed the invoice will no longer be usable.
Open Invoice	`OPEN`	Can accept multiple payments continuously. May not have a `totalAmount.amount`. If `totalAmount.amount` is not set, customer will input their desired amount. Ideal for donations scenario.

After successfully creating the invoice, your server side application should share the invoice URL where your customers can proceed with their payment.

📘
Quick Test #1
At this point, you are now able to send an invoice url to your customer.

Talk to your shop platform via chat or messaging and make an order.

Customer gets an invoice url and gets redirected to a Maya Checkout page.

Step 3: Success page

Every successful payment should show a success page in order for the customer to verify that the payment went through.

You need to host this success page in your website.

<html>
  <head><title>Payment is successful</title></head>
  <body>
    <h1>Thank your for your order!</h1>
    <p>
      <a link="/track-order">Tracker your order here</a>.
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

📘
Quick Test #2
To test out your success page

Talk to your shop platform via chat or messaging and make an order.

Customer gets an invoice url and gets redirected to a Maya Checkout page.

Use one of our test cards and pay.

On successful payment, Maya Checkout will redirect to your success page.

Send link to customers

After creating your own MayaMe Payment Link, you may use the URL and send it to your customers through various channels (e.g. Viber, WhatsApp, etc.).

As a Merchant, send the MayaMe URL to the Customer.
Once the customer clicks the link you sent, the customer will be redirected to Maya’s checkout page to complete the transaction. They can choose from various payment methods like Debit / Credit Cards, and E-wallets like Maya, QRPH, etc.
If the transaction is successful, the customer will be redirected to Maya’s status page and receive email notification.

Use of Webhooks

Maya enables the Merchant to receive notifications via Webhook.
