Redirects configuration

Overview

To redirect users to another page after they completed the payment, you can configure redirects in Publisher Account or via API. For different payment statuses (successful or cancelled payment) you can configure the following redirects:

• automatic — a redirect in a set delay time.
• manual — a redirect after a user clicks the redirect button.

You can simultaneously configure automatic and manual redirects. A user will still have a possibility to click the redirect button to return to the application. Otherwise, they will be automatically redirected when the set delay time is over.

• user_id — user ID.
• foreigninvoice — transaction ID passed in the external_id parameter.
• invoice_id — transaction ID.
• status — transaction status. It can have the following values:

Example of the URL where a user is redirected to: {Return URL}?user_id=[value]&foreignInvoice=[value]&invoice_id=[value]&status=done

If a user closes the payment UI tab before completing the payment, they are redirected to the specified redirect URL with the format of: {Return URL}?user_id=[value]&invoice_id=. If the payment UI opens with Pay Station Embed, then when closing the payment UI, the widget closes and the user returns to the game.

Configure automatic redirects

You can configure automatic redirects:

Configure automatic redirects in Publisher Account

1. Open your project in Publisher Account and go to Pay Station > Settings > Redirect policy.

2. In the Return URL field, enter a URL address or a path (a deep link) a user is redirected to after making a payment. To improve user experience when a user opens the payment UI in a game mobile application, we recommend specifying a deep link as a return URL.
3. In the drop-down list, choose Automatic redirect condition:
   • None — do not redirect.
   • Successful payment — redirect when a payment is successful.
   • Successful or canceled payment — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
   • Any payment — redirect for any payment status.
4. In the Delay field, enter a redirect timeout in seconds. By default, a redirect is activated in 0 seconds.
5. If you would like to configure only the automatic redirect without adding a redirect button, in the Manual redirect condition drop-down list, choose None — do not redirect.
6. Click Save.

Configure automatic redirects via API

To configure redirects, pass the following data in the Create token API call:

• settings.return_url — a URL address or a path (a deep link) a user is redirected to after making a payment. To improve user experience when a user opens the payment UI in a game mobile application, we recommend specifying a deep link as a return URL.
• settings.redirect_policy.redirect_conditions — redirect conditions:
  • none — do not redirect.
  • successful — redirect when a payment is successful.
  • successful_or_canceled — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
  • any — redirect for any payment status.
• settings.redirect_policy.delay — a timeout in seconds when a redirect to the URL passed in the settings.return_url parameter is activated. By default, a redirect is activated in 0 seconds.

Configure manual redirects

You can configure manual redirects:

• in Publisher Account
• via API

Configure manual redirects in Publisher Account

1. Open your project in Publisher Account and go to Pay Station > Settings > Redirect policy.

1. In the Return URL field, enter a URL address or a path (a deep link) a user is redirected to after making a payment. To improve user experience when a user opens the payment UI in a game mobile application, we recommend specifying a deep link as a return URL.
2. If you would like to configure only the manual redirect, in the Automatic redirect condition drop-down list, choose None — do not redirect.
3. Leave the Delay field empty.
4. In the Manual redirect condition drop-down list, choose a payment status when the redirect button appears:
   • None — do not redirect.
   • Successful payment — redirect when a payment is successful.
   • Successful or canceled payment — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
   • Any payment — redirect for any payment status.
5. In the Redirect button caption field, enter the copy for the button that will redirect a user to the return URL.
6. Click Save.

Configure manual redirects via API

To configure redirects, pass the following data in the Create token API call:

• settings.return_url — a URL address or a path (a deep link) a user is redirected to after making a payment. To improve user experience when a user opens the payment UI in a game mobile application, we recommend specifying a deep link as a return URL.
• settings.redirect_policy.manual_redirection_action — the payment UI behavior triggered by the user clicking the close button or the return button:
  • redirect (by default) — a user is redirected to the return URL.
  • postmessage — clicking the close icon initiates sending the close-widget event, and clicking the return button — the return event. In this case, a user isn’t redirected to the return URL. You need to configure processing of events for closing the payment UI or redirection. This setting is only available when using API.
• settings.redirect_policy.redirect_button_caption — a copy for the button that will redirect a user to the return URL.
• settings.redirect_policy.status_for_manual_redirection — a payment status when the redirect button appears:
  • none — do not redirect.
  • successful — redirect when a payment is successful.
  • successful_or_canceled — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
  • any — redirect for any payment status.

Example of redirect configuration

In Publisher Account, you configured automatic redirects with a delay of 3 seconds. This behavior applies to both a mobile and desktop versions of the payment UI. The configurations set in Publisher Account look like this:

If you need to update settings for opening the payment UI in the mobile application of your game, namely to add the redirect button and to specify a deep link as a return URL, you need to update settings passed in a token:

    "user": {
        "country": {
            "value": "US"
        },

        },
