Server to Server Callback

  • Server to server callbacks are initiated from PhonePe server to the url provided by merchant when payment reaches to any terminal state (SUCESS or FAIL)
  • There are two ways to enable server to server callbacks.
    1.Either Register your static callback url with PhonePe. This is a one time process.
    2.Or, Send the callback url along with each payment request.

The URL is specified in header X-CALLBACK-URL
HTTP mode for callback is specified in header X-CALL-MODE

If different callback url is present at each location, then preference will be given to second method.

Payload

The payload that is going to be sent to the merchant on the specified callback url will have a base64 encoded json.

Upon base64 decoding the response, you should get a json with format similar to the response returned by transaction status API.

This is the best case callback that would be sent from PhonePe server to the merchants' server. In the event of a callback failure, the onus is on the merchants to use the transaction status API and take the transaction to closure.

Callback headers

Following are the response headers sent with a callback.

🚧

  1. Success/Failure of transaction should be dependent on the code in response parameters
  2. Cross-check the amount and checksum which has been passed in forward payment path(Accept payment API) and in the response of Server to Server callback.
