Bank Transfer Payment
Payment Buttons
Payment Buttons are the name of the payment method that provides payment via bank transfer. This means that a customer can choose to pay for the goods via a prepared bank transfer. This is an additional option for the customer to choose from (besides e-money payment from a wallet and card payment).
If all the technical requirements are met (see below) on the gateway there will visible a third funding source option for the customer.
The process is the following
- The customer arrives to the Barion Payment Gateway
- Customer decides to pay with payment buttons, selects one of the banks and clicks the Pay button.
- Customer is redirected to the selected bank's GUI
- Customer inputs all the necessary information required to make the transfer
- Customer is redirected to the Barion Payment Gateway and is presented with the result
- Customer is redirected to the merchant's shop
In case the transfer was unsuccessful the customer is allowed to try the payment again with another bank or even with another funding source. If the transfer was successful a callback is sent to the merchant's server.
However there are certain bank transfers that take longer so by the time the customer finishes the payment process the result of the process is not known yet. In these scenarios the customer is presented with an appropriate message that contains information about the situation. Later when the result of the transfer is decided an e-mail message is sent to the customer about the result.
