    Redirect the customer

    Redirect your customer to the redirect link’s href in the response. This will allow the customer to authorize the payment, before they are transferred to your predefined success or failure URL.

    Get details about a payment

    You can use the id found in the payment response, or the cko-session-id from the success/failure URL (e.g., https://www.checkout.com/order/succeeded?cko-session-id=sid_vii64oquze5u3h2x6hh4rurc4y) to retrieve details about the payment.

    Note

    The cko-session-id expires 15 minutes after being created.

    Use the details below to set up your request.

      Refund a payment

      QPay supports both partial and full refunds. You can refund a payment through the Hub or by using the refund API.

      Cancel a payment

      If the customer fails to complete their payment, we will automatically void the payment and send a payment_expired webhook.

      If the customer cancels their payment, we will send a payment_canceled webhook.
