API Reference

Requirements

Allpay API suites Israel-based projects and helps to accept payments from clients situated both in Israel and worldwide.

To use API you must have API login and key provided in your Allpay account (Settings ➙ API Integrations). Sign up for Allpay account.

Payment protocol

The payment process happens in two steps using the POST method:

  1. Payment request: This is where a new payment is created. Allpay sends back a URL for the payment page where the customer will be redirected.
  2. Successful payment notification: After a successful payment, Allpay submits you a notification with the payment details.

Both of these steps use SHA256 signature to ensure security.

    curl_close($ch);
    $data = json_decode($result, true);
    header('Location: ' . $data['payment_url']);

Response

When a payment request is initiated, Allpay will return a URL (payment_url) to direct the customer to the payment page.

Upon completing the payment, if the transaction is successful, Allpay will redirect the customer to the success_url. However, in the event of a failed payment, the customer will remain on the payment page where an error message will be displayed, along with an option to attempt another payment.

Payment notification

After successful payment, Allpay will submit a POST request to the notifications_url with the following parameters:

Code example to verify that the payment was successful:

payment verification (php)


$sign = getApiSignature($_POST, $api_key);
if($_POST['status'] == 1 && $_POST['sign'] == $sign) {
    // successful payment action
}

Signature

Payment requests to Allpay and notifications returned from Allpay includes the 'sign' parameter which represents request signature. The signature is generated with the 'getApiSignature' function.

The 'getApiSignature' function sorts the request parameters (except for the 'sign' parameter and parameters with empty values) and use their values and the ":" (colon) separator to create the string. API Key is added to the end of the string. Then the string is hashed with SHA256 algorithm.

SHA256 signature function (php)


  function getApiSignature($params, $apikey) { 
        ksort($params);
        $chunks = [];
        foreach($params as $k => $v) {
            $v = trim($v);
            if ($v !== '' && $k != 'sign') {
                $chunks[] = $v;
            }  
        }
        $signature = implode(':', $chunks) . ':' . $apikey;
        $signature = hash('sha256', $signature);
        return $signature;  
    }
