Statements

1 Statement features

Statements are reports of completed purchase transactions, refunds and payouts. They can be configured in the merchant panel.
Please note: Creating statements that will be sent on URL to retrieve via API requires configuration change on Company level. Therefore, it requires contact with PayU Technical Support in order to enable such configuration. For this purpose please use this contact form.

Available statement file formats are: .csv, .pdf and .abo* (*specific to Czech market).

Statements could be:

  • delivered via email as .zip attachment,
  • downloaded from the merchant panel,
  • retrieved via API.

3 Retrieval via API

Enabling this functionality requires a special configuration on PayU's side, so in order to use it please contact us via the contact form. To get statement notifications and then retrieve statement files via API, the 'Notification mode' option on 'Create statement' screen in the merchant panel must be set to 'Notify url'.

Statement notification

XML form notification will be sent once the statement is ready for retrieval. Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
   <reportNotifyRequest xmlns="http://www.openpayu.com/public/21/openpayu">
    <report>
     <reportId>4a3534fb-85b5-4f29-9da8-a6d73b34d528</reportId>
     <reportPlanId>635601897450895020</reportPlanId>
     <reportUrl>https://secure.payu.com/api/v2_1/reports/4a3534fb-85b5-4f29-9da8-a6d73b34d528</reportUrl>
     <status>READY</status>
    </report>
   </reportNotifyRequest>
Where:
  • <reportId> - report ID
  • <reportPlanId> - merchant assigned fixed report ID
  • <reportUrl> - url the report is availabe
  • <status> - report status

Statement retrieval

After the notification is received, call the reportUrl with HTTP GET. The message header should contain:

Authorization: Basic {string}

where the {string} is the base64 encoded string of posId:Second key (MD5) - mind the colon between POS ID and the MD5 key values!

For authorization you have to use the POS that was chosen in PayU Manager Panel when the statement was generated. If there is only one POS on given Shop it might be used as default POS for statement for this Shop. Authorization attempt with different POS will not work. HTTP 404 error means that you are trying to obtain statement generated for different POS (report is not found for used POS).

4 ICP transactions in statements
