Contracting

To make real payments, you need a contract with Barion. Contracting is done by accepting the Terms & Conditions in online registration, there is no paperwork or similar hassle. Each merchant needs a Barion account, or Wallet, as we call it. Payments are credited to this account immediately after payment.

You can register an account at our Registration page.

NOTE

Always double-check which server you are using, avoid mixing up Live and Sandbox accounts.

Approval & KYC

Barion is a regulated business, many of our processes are bound by laws. We are mandated to check each shop and approve it manually. We only allow shops that are legal and comply with our Terms & Conditions. We do not support gambling and adult content, even if it is legal. If you are in a risky business or not sure, contact us through chat on Barion.com before starting development.

Upon approval, you are asked to provide additional information (such as company papers) about your shop. Providing inaccurate information may delay the approval of your shop. Upon reaching certain limits, or by the decision of our staff, you are asked to go through a process called KYC (Know Your Customer), which is the identification process mandated by Anti Money Laundering (AML) laws.

Optional recurring

Token or recurring payments must be further approved. Since token payment basically allows you to carry out payments at will, this option is only available for trustworthy companies. Contact our experts well in advance, if you plan to use this option.

Change URL and POSKey and it works

We recommend making these parameters, so you can easily switch between the sandbox and live servers. To go live, make the following changes to the payment solution.

• Change the API endpoint URL to Live (https://api.test.barion.com -> https://api.barion.com).
• Change the payment GUI redirect URL to Live (https://secure.test.barion.com/pay -> https://secure.barion.com/pay).
• Change POSKey to the live and approved shop's POSKey (a common mistake to leave the sandbox here).
• If you are using your own sandbox shop, change the return URL.
• If you are using your own sandbox shop, change the callback URL.
• Check e-mail addresses of Payees used in PaymentTransaction structure in /Payment/Start call, if it is different in sandbox.
• Change certificates, if you are checking server certificates.
• If using token payment, keep in mind that sandbox tokens do not work in the live system.

NOTE

Always double-check this list before calling support, it is easy to mix up live and sandbox data.
