Configuration

Required fields

In addition to the default required field of data.amount, PayU Colombia requires the following fields to process a transaction with the Run card transaction or Run card transaction with iframe endpoint.

For many of the fields, when included in the Create one-time-use token, Save card token, or Save card token with iframe endpoint. the field is stored in the card token and automatically gets sent with the Run card transaction request without needing to explicitly specify it. For more information about this possibility, see the What data is saved with tokens? topic.

Required FieldDescription
card.securityCodeThe numeric code printed on the card for enhanced security.

When included in the Save card token or Save card token with iframe request, Nexio caches the value for up to 24 hours. Therefore, if you save the card token and then submit a transaction with that card token more than 24 hours later, you need to recapture the security code.
data.amountThe transaction amount.

For installments, this value must be a minimum of 300 COP.
data.currencyThe three-character ISO currency code for the transaction. For PayU Colombia, supported currencies are COP and USD. For installments (recurring payments), only COP is allowed.

If you do not include this parameter, the system uses the default of USD. Therefore, if your merchant account does not support USD, you will get an error response.
data.customer.emailThe customer's email address.
data.customer.billToCountryThe two-character (Alpha-2) ISO country code.
data.customer.shipToCountryThe two-character (Alpha-2) ISO shipping country code.
data.customer.orderNumberThe order number. This must be a unique value for the merchant with PaymentsOS. If a payment fails, you can continue to reuse that orderNumber value until the payment succeeds. If you use a value that is not unique, the system returns an error.
data.customer.nationalIdentificationNumberThe identification number issued by a national authority to the individual person, such as a social security number.

The following list provides information about potential identification sources:
  • Brazil: CPF or CNPJ.
  • Chile: RUN for individual users and RUT for companies
  • Colombia: For individual users CC (Cédula de ciudadanía), CE (Cédula de Extranjería) and TI (Targeta de Identidad) and for companies NIT
  • Mexico: RFC and CURP (individual user) and RFC (legal entity/company)
data.descriptorInclude this parameter to specify the descriptor on the customer's statement.
