Desktop/Mobile Website Browser - Venmo

Accept Venmo payment from the PC or mobile browser by redirecting the shopper to the Venmo page.

Step 1. Initialize a Payment Intent

Create a Payment Intent with the Create a Payment Intent API API.

POST /api/v1/pa/payment_intents/create

JSON
1{ 
2  "request_id": "ed11e38a-7234-11ea-aa94-7fd44ffd1b89",
3  "amount": 100,
4  "currency": "USD",
5  "merchant_order_id": "85d7b0e0-7235-11ea-862e-9f6aa1adfca6",
6  "return_url": "https://www.airwallex.com"
7}

Step 2. Redirect to Venmo to complete payment

When a shopper selects to pay with Venmo on their desktop/mobile browser, call the Confirm a Payment Intent API API to get a redirect URL.

POST /api/v1/pa/payment_intents/{id}/confirm

JSON
1{
2  "request_id": "ed11e38a-7234-11ea-aa94-7fd44ffd1b89",
3  "payment_method": {
4    "type": "venmo",
5    "venmo": {
6      "shopper_name": "Joe Doe",
7    }
8  }
9}

You will get a response similar to the following.

JSON
1{
2  // ... other fields omitted. 
3    "next_action": {
4        "type": "call_sdk",
5        "data": {
6            "payment_method_transaction_id": "XXXXXXXXX"
7        }
8    },
9}

Airwallex will render a JS SDK lightbox to display the Venmo checkout flow. The shopper will complete the payment in their Venmo app.

Step 3. Query the payment result status

To get the payment result, we suggest you poll the status of the Payment Intent via the Retrieve a Payment Intent API API. You may start polling the Payment Intent status after the shopper is redirected back to your website or mobile app, i.e., the return_url passed when creating the Payment Intent.

GET /api/v1/pa/payment_intents/{id}

In addition, Airwallex will notify you of the payment result asynchronously via the webhooks. Please refer to the webhook documentation to set up your webhook accordingly. Although subscribing to webhook events is optional, it is recommended to subscribe to the payment_intent.succeeded webhook which indicates that the shopper has paid the order.
