Purpose and main features of bills
Services for invoicing and payment of bills provides a simple way of processing a payment by link (URL) which client can use to follow and make a payment on order in IPS Assist. The merchant calls the service of bill creation (providing info about bill number, amount, payment timeout and etc.), IPS Assist makes a bill record and payment token associated to this bill. A bill also can be created manually within the personal account (https://account.paysec.by/). IPS Assist sends the link with the payment token to customer via E-mail or the enterprise generates an URL using the received payment token, and redirects the customer to the bill payment page. The enterprise also can send the payment link to customer via E-mail, SMS or via other means of communication from its own side. Payment link looks like the following:
https://<SERVER_NAME>/bill/paybill.cfm?ID=c2RmZ2UzNXkyNXR5MjU0
When the client follows by the link and agrees to pay the bill IPS Assist creates order. Next, the client enters his payment mean data and performs a payment similarly to the standard order payment.
This manual describes services for bill creation, cancellation of bill payment, bill information requests and process of payment. It also covers the questions of setting up of interaction with those services of IPS Assist.
