Generate Netbanking Intent Link

🙌

Important Note

Please use only Staging Credentials on each API Reference page to test the APIs directly from our Documentation.

Flow

Below is the flow for using the Netbanking intent link through Decentro.

  1. The platform creates a Netbanking intent link using this API and the API endpoint by passing the consumer_urn shared by Decentro before going live along with the payment amount.
    1. The device_type is a mandatory parameter for generating intent links as it dictates how the link behaves in different OS.
    2. When device_type is ANDROID, the link opened on the device displays an app drawer of the available Bank Apps that support Netbanking 2.0 payments
    3. When device_type is IOS, the bank_code parameter becomes a mandatory parameter. The bank URI is appended to the intent link and user on IOS device is redirected to the selected bank app.
    4. Please note, that intent links cannot be opened in a desktop and will have to opened in a mobile device
  2. Decentro relays the status of the Netbanking intent link creation using response keys and the Decentro transaction ID, which can be used to check the status through the Get Transaction Status API.
  3. The platform embeds can generate the intent link in any checkout flow, app, or any third-party system.
  4. The payer chooses their preferred Bank App and authorizes the transaction by logging into their bank app. Decentro triggers the Terminal Transaction Status Callback/Webhook to the client's pre-configured endpoint with the transaction status. or
  5. Alternatively, the platform can check the status of the intent link using the Get Transaction Status API, which can be done using Decentro's transaction ID, which is available as the response in this API.

API Endpoints

Below are the API endpoints to be used by the platform basis the environments.

Response Parameters

Below are the parameters propagated by Decentro in the response.

ParametersDescription
decentro_txn_idA unique transaction ID from Decentro for checking the transaction status, refund, etc.
api_statusStatus of the API hit. Note that this is not the status of the transaction.
messageAPI status message. Note that this is not about the status of the transaction.
response_keyResponse key documenting the status of the API hit and various errors as mentioned here
transaction_statusThe status of the transaction. This is typically pending unless there's an error in creating the intent link.
shorten_link_urlThe image link of the intent link code which can be used to display online/offline.

Response Keys

Below are the response keys propagated by Decentro in the response_key parameter, which cover all the scenarios a platform can encounter.

Please note that the below keys don't include transaction-related response keys since the status of the transaction is relayed only after the payer authorizes payment.
