Set up/Create a test account
You can keep using your existing PREPROD (test) account to get started. To activate Direct in your PREPROD (test) account, follow these steps:
- Log in to the PREPROD (test) Back Office.
- Go to Configuration > Account > Your options.
- In Available options, look for "DIR (Händler/In, welche/r die Direct Integration nutzt)" and click on "Activate".
If you cannot find "DIR (Händler/In, welche/r die Direct Integration nutzt)", then it is activated by default. Look in the "Default options" to confirm.
Choose the way you want to implement Direct
Use our SDKs
Our Server SDKs wrap the Direct API in a highly efficient and accessible way, allowing you to create your own application easily.
Modify the target endpoint URL and your checkout page
Modify the target endpoint URL and the data you need to send to our platform to get the tokenization URL. Make also sure to add this HTML elements/Javascript code to your checkout page.
Configure your test account
Direct reduces your efforts by outsourcing most of the technical settings to the CreatePaymentAPI. However, you need to make some basic configurations in your account:
- Configure your API Key/API Secret to set up the Direct authentication mechanism. Read our dedicated guide to learn how to do this.
- Configure your Webhooks Key/Webhooks Secret to receive feedback for processed transactions. Read our dedicated guide to learn how to do this.
Adapt your checkout page
As customers stay in your webshop environment, you are completely free in designing your checkout page. Follow our best practices for an optimized payment experience.
Make sure to receive our platform’s transaction feedback
Make sure your webshop infrastructure receives and processes our platform’s transaction feedback according to the payment id logic.
Direct offers Webhooks and endpoints GetPaymentDetails to get all information you need to follow-up on your orders.
To enhance transparency, Direct implements three properties to represent a transaction status:
- status
- statusCategory
- statusCode
For a quick manual check, look up the transactions status in the Merchant Portal. Read the dedicated chapter in our Merchant Portal guide to learn how to do this.
Test your new integration
Use our Test cases to trigger specific scenarios for any given payment method. Our API Explorer allows you to build and test countless scenarios with just a few clicks!
