On-Demand

This option is used only for integration partners using the On-Demand model

On-Demand means that all invoices will only be billed based on when Ezypay receives the invoice requests. With this integration model, Ezypay does not hold any payment/billing schedules. All this information should be captured by the integrator for their merchants.

It allows merchants to collect one-off payments when required, for example, product purchases, registration charges and full amount payments, etc.

If you have elected for the On-Demand integration model, then how to create invoices and retrieving invoice details are required for understanding Ezypay's API's.

1. CREATING INVOICES

Creating invoices is setting up payments for the customers. You can create future invoices or instant invoices (to be processed immediately). However instant invoices are only available for credit card payments.

2. RETRIEVING STATUS OF AN INVOICE

After an invoice has been processed, there are 2 APIs that can be called to check the status of an invoice. This allows a user to check whether the invoice is successful or if it has failed. This is called "Retrieving Status of an Invoice".

Part 1: Retrieving the Status of an Invoice
A user can choose to retrieve the status of an invoice as a list of invoices or they can choose to retrieve the status for a specific invoice only.
The status will only show whether a payment is successful or if it has failed, and what Ezypay fees have been included in that specific invoice.

Part 2: To Retrieve Transaction Outcomes
This provides more details as to why an invoice had failed. (Failed payment reason)

🚧

Note :

  • Any debits that have been created cannot be modified within 24 hours of when its due to be debited. The invoice must be in pending, future or scheduled to be processed status.

  • The latest payment method will only take effect on debits created after the payment method has been updated. All debits entered prior to the change will still be debited from the previous payment method.
