INTRODUCTION

This Application Programming Interface (API) describes how to integrate your website
with Slydepay online payments. Examples and other resources for integrating can be
found under the resources tab in your merchant account.

Slydepay uses a HTTP requests and SOAP web service calls to process payments. This
works by sending the required parameters and their values to a web service through
a SSL connection followed by a redirect to a merchant order page.

This works when Slydepay mandatory parameters and their corresponding values are
sent to a web-processing page secured by an SSL connection.

CONFIGURING YOUR I-MERCHANTACCOUNT

 Ensure your account has been verified. You can see this immediately you
login to your Slydepay account.

 Under the “Account Settings>>payLIVE Settings” section in your account, set:

o Integration Mode
o Merchant Name
o Merchant Key
o Call back URL. (HTTP redirect to merchant domain with transaction
status)

INTEGRATION MODE

Integration mode basically sets your account into a demo mode to help with
development and testing of the merchants integration with API.

When ON, you can test the account with a dummy wallet (credentials below).

Remember to set the ‘Integration header parameter to “1” when running in

integration mode.

When ready to go LIVE! Make sure the integration mode is OFF and set the
‘Integration parameter to “0.

INTEGRATING SLYDEPAY
In order to receive payments from Slydepay, you are provided with a SOAP web
service to integrate your website or application with Slydepay API servers.

SLYDEPAY MERCHANT API WEB SERVICE

Required parameters are stored as values in hidden form fields and upon click, are
POSTed from the merchant’s site to the Slydepay Merchant! Order pages.

Note: Slydepay Merchant API Web service is the most secure method of processing
payments and is available for the Slydepay Merchant API version 1.4 and above.

How it works

1. Merchant makes a web service call to the Slydepay API Service passing
the required header and method parameters.

2. The API server processes requests and validates the header and
parameters. If validation is successful, a session ID is generated and
returned to the Merchant. This ID is called a pay Token.
If there is an error in the request from the Merchant, an error code is
returned to the Merchant.
Note: Error codes are listed on page [#] in this API

3. Merchant after receiving the Pay Token can now do an HTTP redirect to
the Slydepay Merchant order page passing the Token
https://app.slydepay.com.gh/paylive/detailsnew.aspx?pay_token=
IWA19389

4. Order summary is presented to Customer and Customer is requested to

input Account credentials to continue payment.

5. After a successful transaction, Slydepay API then redirects to Merchant

call-back URL with:
 status of transaction
 transaction ID
 customer reference ID.

6. Merchant makes a webservice call to confirm completion of payment

and receipt of transaction information. The web service method returns an
integer value to indicate the success or failure of transaction confirmation.
