Technical flow – Prepaid Payments

  1. The user selects a product, confirms the booking and clicks on PAY in the Switch App .
  2. Switch server hits the PhonePe server sending order details like merchantId, transactionId, OrderId, transactionContext, cartDetails and redirectionURL as described in the PhonePe initiate Transaction Request() API

transactionContext takes trackingInfo as input which is used on the PhonePe APP to take a user to their specific booking inside the Switch App. Example :

"trackingInfo": {
        "type": "HTTPS",
        "url": "https://google.com"
      },
