BLIK

BLIK payment can be integrated and authorized in several ways. The basic authorization method is with a BLIK code, generated by the customer in the bank's mobile application. Also it is possible to authorize BLIK payment with UID token, which allows for one-click payments - without leaving the shop's website. Choosing authorization method is dependant on the payment integration scenario:

• Redirecting to the BLIK payment page – after choosing BLIK payment method and placing an order, the customer is redirected to the BLIK website, where they enter a BLIK authorization code and then confirm the payment in the bank's mobile app. The integration is limited to a standard pay-by-link service.
• Transparent payment with a BLIK authorization code – the customer enters a BLIK authorization code while still on the shop's website, and confirms the payment in the bank's mobile app after placing the order. The integration requires support for entering a BLIK authorization code on the shop's website. In return, the customer receives a simpler and more secure payment authorization process, without having to be redirected outside the shop.
• Transparent payment with the UID token – the customer authorizes the payment with one click on the shop's website. Confirmation of payment in the bank's mobile application may not be necessary. Choosing this service requires a full implementation of: the token registration process on the shop side, the token payment and BLIK authorization code input handling. As a result, the customer will receive the payment options with one-click and a BLIK authorization code.

The UID token payment service is not available by default and requires meeting certain requirements as well as going through a boarding process accordingly. Therefore, before proceeding with the integration, contact your account manager at PayU.

Every BLIK service except for the Redirecting to the BLIK payment page requires a special point of sale configuration by the PayU. The configuration allowing „Transparent payment with a BLIK authorization code” and „Transparent payment with the UID token” is not compatible with „Redirecting to the BLIK payment page” and it requires a separate point of sale.

Placing an order with redirection to the BLIK payment page:

1. The customer selects the BLIK payment method.
2. The shop authenticates with PayU by retrieving an OAuth token.
3. The shop creates the order by sending an OrderCreateRequest with the OAuth token received from PayU.
4. PayU registers transaction with BLIK and returns an OrderCreateResponse to the shop with the ID of the created order.
5. The shop redirects the customer to the BLIK payment page.
6. The customer enters a BLIK authorization code.
7. BLIK sends a notification to the mobile application of the customer's bank, from which the BLIK authorization code was generated, that the payment must be authorized.
8. The customer authorizes the payment in the bank's mobile application.
9. The customer is notified of the transaction status and is redirected to the shop page.

Placing an order with redirection to the PayU payment page:

1. The shop authenticates with PayU by retrieving an OAuth token.
2. The customer is redirected to the PayU payment page
3. The customer selects the BLIK payment method.
4. The shop creates the order by sending an OrderCreateRequest with the OAuth token received from PayU.
5. PayU registers transaction with BLIK and returns an OrderCreateResponse to the shop with the ID of the created order.
6. The customer is redirected to the BLIK payment page.
7. The customer enters a BLIK authorization code.
8. BLIK sends a notification to the mobile application of the customer's bank, from which the BLIK authorization code was generated, that the payment must be authorized.
9. The customer authorizes the payment in the bank's mobile application.
10. The customer is notified of the status of the transaction and is redirected to the shop page.

When placing an order, the customer has the option to enter a BLIK authorization code on the shop's website. The shop should be able to handle basic service scenarios:

Placing an order for the transparent payment with BLIK authorization code:

1. The shop presents field to enter a BLIK authorization code.
2. The customer generates a BLIK authorization code in the bank's mobile application, and enters it on the shop's website.
3. The shop authenticates with PayU by retrieving an OAuth token.
4. The shop creates the order by sending an OrderCreateRequest with the OAuth token received from PayU.
5. PayU registers transaction with BLIK and returns an OrderCreateResponse to the shop with the ID of the created order.
6. The shop displays relevant information to the customer.
7. BLIK sends a notification to the mobile application of the customer's bank, from which the BLIK authorization code was generated, that the payment must be authorized.
8. The customer authorizes the payment in the bank's mobile application.
9. The shop receives a notification that the payment has been authorized.

Unsuccessful order request for transparent payment with BLIK authorization code - invalid BLIK code:

1. The shop presents field to enter a BLIK authorization code.
2. The customer generates a BLIK authorization code in the bank's mobile application, and enters it on the shop's website.
3. The shop authenticates with PayU by retrieving an OAuth token.
4. The shop creates the order by sending an OrderCreateRequest with the OAuth token received from PayU.
5. PayU registers transaction with BLIK and receives information about invalid BLIK code.
6. PayU returns an OrderCreteResponse with appropriate error code and the ID of created order.
7. The shop displays an error message to the customer.

Before displaying available payment methods, the shop retrieves them and checks if the customer has the UID token.

If the customer already has the UID token, the default service presented in the shop, for the BLIK payment method, should be the UID token payment. Additionally, the customer should have a possibility to optionally enter a BLIK authorization code on the shop's website - this option is necessary for the service to work as intended.

The UID token allows payment authorization by assigning the customer's bank mobile application to the token. When the customer selects UID token payment, the BLIK sends notification to the token-associated mobile application, where the customer can authorize the payment. If the customer cannot confirm the payment on the mobile application originally associated with the UID token, they can choose to enter a BLIK authorization code - what allows them to continue the payment process.

Entering a BLIK authorization code from a different bank's mobile application than the one associated with the token, will result in another bank's mobile application being linked to it. A list of banks mobile applications associated with the customer's UID token is returned during retrieving payment methods. If the customer has more than one bank mobile application asociated with the UID token, the shop is required to display a list of available associations. It is neccessary so that the customer knows which bank's mobile application they need to authorize the payment.

NOTE! In the previous version of this process, information about the assignment of more than one bank mobile application to the UID token was sent to the shop in an error response (OrderCreateResponse). Within this response the shop received a complete list of the banks mobile applications associated with the UID token. To complete the order the shop sent new OrderCreateRequest with the customer chosen, specific bank's mobile application.

The UID token registration requires the customer to save it at the payment authorization stage in the bank mobile application. Token registration always takes place in the context of a BLIK code authorization, so the token is associated with the bank's mobile application in which the BLIK code was generated.

De-registration of the UID token is done at the request of the customer in their bank mobile application. The token will be deleted once all of its associations with mobile bank applications have been removed.

When paying with BLIK while using the UID token, customer can pay without the need to authorize payments in the bank's mobile application. Ask your PayU account manager about details of such solution.

You can test BLIK payments integration in the sandbox environment. This section includes test authorization codes and the UID token prefixes that can be used to simulate specific types of payments, as well as transaction request examples.

The test requests have been supplemented with sample data, which you can change using the specification presented earlier in this document:

A list of BLIK authorization codes simulating a specific behavior ( current version ):

To receive the described responses, the special configuration "Transparent payment with a BLIK authorization code" or "Transparent payment with the UID token" described in the Introduction section is required.

• 200201 - positive authorization with token registration,
• 500500 - negative authorization,
• 777xxx - positive authorization without token registration,
• 700701 - BLIK authorization code has expired,
• 700702 - BLIK authorization code has been cancelled,
• 700703 - BLIK authorization code has already been used.

Some codes change their purpose in time. Their function in the previous version of the service is included in the list below:

• 777xxx - positive authorization with token registration,

A list of the UID token prefixes, simulating a specific behavior:

• SIMULATE_ALIAS_NON_UNIQUE - for simulating ambiguity - previous version of the process.

To simulate specific behavior, insert chosen prefix and a random characters string in payMethod.value field.

Before sending test request, generate an OAuth token (using https://secure.snd.payu.com/pl/standard/user/oauth/authorize url address) for used point of sale (POS).
