Create a Bank Authorization

The Trustly Online Banking Payment service enables end-users to pay or be paid by signing in to their online banking interface within your website or app. The Trustly User interaction can be completed in 3 simple steps:

  1. The User selects Online Banking as a payment method on your website or app, which you link to the SDK selectBankWidget call to open the Trustly Widget (which then launches the Trustly Lightbox) or to the SDK establish call which launches the Trustly Lightbox directly.
  2. From the Trustly Lightbox, the user authenticates with their bank and selects the account they wish to use for the transaction.
  3. Once authorized, the User is then returned to the returnUrl passed to the appropriate SDK call, adding the transactionId, at which point you can continue to process the transaction.

Integrate the Trustly SDK into your flow.

As mentioned above, Trustly offers 3 SDK's: JavaScript, iOS, and Android. The SDK has 2 main methods: selectBankWidget and establish. Each method accept 2 parameter objects, options and establishData. The options parameter is optional and can be used to control pieces of the Lightbox experience. The establishData parameter is used to pass transaction parameters to Trustly that are used when establishing the Bank Authorization transaction.

The following examples are using the JavaScript SDK

1. To load the SDK on the page, use the following JavaScript tag (replacing {accessId} with the Access Id provided to you by Trustly):

<script src="https://sandbox.trustly.one/start/scripts/paywithmybank.js?accessId={accessId}"> </script>

2. To provide optional Trustly configuration options, create a TrustlyOptions object:

var TrustlyOptions = {
  closeButton: false,
  dragAndDrop: false,
  widgetContainerId: "widget-container-id" //Page element container for the widget
};

For details on the Trustly configuration options, refer to the SDK Specification.

3. To provide the transaction details to the SDK, create an establishData object:

var establishData = {
  accessId: {accessId},
  requestSignature: {requestSignature},
  merchantId: {merchantId},
  description: 'transaction description',
  currency: "USD|CAD",
  amount: "0.00",
  merchantReference: "merchant reference",
  paymentType: "Deferred",
  verification: {
    verifyCustomer: true,
  },
  customer: {
    externalId: "12345",
    name: "Joe User",
  },
  returnUrl: "https://merchant.com/trustly.com/return",
  cancelUrl: "https://merchant.com/trustly.com/cancel"		
};

🚧

Warning

Electronic Gaming clients are required to pass verifyCustomer as true and pass the customer object for verification.

🚧

Warning

Do not pass Consumer PII (name, email address, etc) in the description field. You can pass Consumer PII in the customer object.

Tip

Ensure you're securing your call by including the requestSignature parameter.

📘

Tip

If you will be sending the user back to some sort of review screen before completing their transaction, pass an amount of 0.00 in the establishData object. You will need to ensure you show the user the final transaction amount before they complete the transaction on your side. Otherwise, pass the final transaction amount in the amount field of the establishData object. This will be shown throughout the Trustly Lightbox. The user will click the Pay button in the Trustly Lightbox before being returned to your site, where you will use the Capture API to complete the transaction.

4. Finally, call the Trustly SDK's establish or selectBankWidget function:

Select Bank Widget

Trustly.selectBankWidget(establishData, TrustlyOptions);

Establish

Trustly.establish(establishData, TrustlyOptions);

The following is a full HTML page using the above example.

            address:{
                    country: 'US'
                },
            },
      returnUrl: 'https://merchant.com/trustly.com/return',
      cancelUrl: 'https://merchant.com/trustly.com/cancel'      
    };
    Trustly.selectBankWidget(establishData, TrustlyOptions);
  </script>
</html>

Handle the redirect

If the User cancels the request, Trustly will direct the User to your provided cancelUrl. If the User successfully authorizes the request, Trustly will direct the User to your provided returnUrl.

Once you get a successful redirect to your returnUrl, add the account on file with the provided transactionId. If applicable, also check the corresponding incoming Authorize webhook event associated with this transactionId and add the splitToken provided in that event alongside the account on file.

Example Cancel URL

https://merchant.com/trustly.com/cancel?transactionId=1002632909&transactionType=1&merchantReference=123123&status=7&payment.paymentType=2&panel=1&payment.paymentProviderTransaction.status=UC01&requestSignature=tp%2B%2B%2BI5nM%2BSeOT8TQKLGvfaEGcs%3D

Example Return URL

https://merchant.com/trustly.com/return?transactionId=1002633191&transactionType=1&merchantReference=123123&status=2&payment.paymentType=2&payment.paymentProvider.type=1&payment.account.verified=false&panel=1&requestSignature=b7yr%2F3qOupPa1B7VeI32PhGQ7C8%3D
