Customize your One-time Card Payment Form

1 Setup Maya Business Manager

Contact your assigned Relationship Manager to gain access to your Maya Manager Sandbox account. If you don't have any Relationship Manager, you may email [email protected] to assign one.

🧠 Keep in mind

Maya Manager has two environments: Sandbox and Production.

  • Sandbox is used for development, testing, and integration. Once the integration is completed in this environment, it will be verified by our Operations team. Only then the production credentials will be provided.
  • Production is for live payments. Testing in this environment will incur real charges.

Both environments have the ability to generate API keys. Once your account is onboarded to a sandbox account, you need to log in to the manager account of your respective environment.

2 Generating API Keys and API Authentication

Generate your API keys by following the steps below:

Step 1: Login to Maya Manager Sandbox and generate your API Key.

Step 2: Go to the menu on the left side of the screen and look for API Keys.

Step 3: On the main navigation, select the name of the Merchant that you registered earlier. Then generate the API key by clicking Generate API Key.

Step 4: After being redirected to another screen, create keys for both Public and Secret policies.

Step 5: Click Create then your API key will be shown to you.

ℹ️ The same flow will be used when generating keys on to your Production environment.

⚠️ Save your API key in a secured location

The full API key will only be shown once. It is important that you store it in a secure location. If you lost your API key, try generating it again using the environment you are working on.

Authenticating with our API

Authentication is done via HTTP Basic Authentication. Depending on the API endpoint, the public (pk-....) or secret (sk-....) key must be provided as the username and the password left as blank.

Steps are as follows:

  1. Combine Username and Password (left blank) separated by ‘:’ (colon). If your API key is “pk-Z0OSzLvIcOI2UIvDhdTGVVfRSSeiGStnceqwUE7n0Ah”, the resulting string is:
pk-Z0OSzLvIcOI2UIvDhdTGVVfRSSeiGStnceqwUE7n0Ah:
  1. Apply Base64 encoding to the resulting string from Step 1. Using the resulting string from Step 1, the Base64 encoded string will be:
cGstWjBPU3pMdkljT0kyVUl2RGhkVEdWVmZSU1NlaUdTdG5jZXF3VUU3bjBBaDo=
  1. Indicate the authorization method i.e. “Basic” followed by a space then the Base64 encoded string in Step 2. An example is shown below.
Authorization: Basic cGstWjBPU3pMdkljT0kyVUl2RGhkVEdWVmZSU1NlaUdTdG5jZXF3VUU3bjBBaDo=

3 Prepare required pages for Vault

Every payment state should show an appropriate web page in order for the customer to know the status of their transaction. You need to host these pages in your website.

Credit Card Form Sample

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Credit Card</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="/submit-credit-card" method="POST">
      <input class="cn" placeholder="Card number">
      <input class="date" placeholder="MM / YY">
      <input class="cvc" placeholder="CVC" type="password">
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Is your platform PCI-DSS certified?

Do not store any card information (i.e. name, card number, expiry dates, cvv/cvc) on your application unless your platform is PCI-DSS certified.

Success Page Sample

<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>

Failed Page Sample

  <head><title>Payment Failed</title></head>

</html>

Is your platform PCI-DSS certified?

Do not store any card information (i.e. name, card number, expiry dates, cvv/cvc) on your application unless your platform is PCI-DSS certified.

4 Execute one time card payment

4.1 Tokenize the card details

Once the customer has provided their card details, your system must send this information to Maya Vault’s Create Payment Token endpoint.

Sample request data:
{
  "card": {
    "number": "512345678911",
    "expMonth": "8",
    "expYear": "2025",
    "cvc": "111"
  }
}

Is your platform PCI-DSS certified?

Do not store any card information (i.e. name, card number, expiry dates, cvv/cvc) on your application unless your platform is PCI-DSS certified.

The Create Payment Token endpoint will return a paymentTokenId. You will need to use this paymentTokenId to associate the tokenized card information with your customer.

🤔 FAQ: Can I reuse paymentTokenId?

Answer: No. paymentTokenId can only be linked once. Attempts after successful link will reject the request.

4.2 Create Payment

To complete the payment transaction, your application should call Create Payment endpoint passing (1) paymentTokenId and (2) the required transaction details.

Sample request:
{
  "paymentTokenId": "<paymentTokenId-from-create-payment-token-endpoint>",
  "totalAmount": {
    "amount": 100,
    "currency": "PHP"
  },
  "buyer": {
    "contact": {
      "phone": "123456"
    },
    "billingAddress": {
      "countryCode": "PH"
    },
    "shippingAddress": {
      "countryCode": "PH"
    },
    "firstName": "john",
    "lastName": "doe"
  },
  "redirectUrl": {
    "success": "https://www.merchantsite.com/success",
    "failure": "https://www.merchantsite.com/failure",
    "cancel": "https://www.merchantsite.com/cancel"
  },
  "requestReferenceNumber": "1626084179"
}

The Create Payment endpoint will return a verificationUrl in which your application should redirect to initiate 3DS authentication and completing the payment.

5 Monitor real-time transaction events

Maya uses webhooks to notify your application when a specific event occurs with your payment request, such as when a customer decides not to authorize a payment, when a payment fails, or when a payment succeeds.

6 Go Live Testing

For Online Payments, you will need to do the following test transactions in Sandbox or follow the email sent by the Maya Fulfillment Online Team.

  1. You will need to test the following card transactions in Maya Checkout: VISA, MasterCard and JCB.
    You can use Maya’s list of mock test cards.
  2. Ensure that your Webhooks are registered in Maya Manager. To validate, follow the instructions outlined in our Webhook guide →
