Gateway-specific information

When a customer pays through Speed in their specified currency, Speed converts that payment to SATS. Then, Speed settles the transaction in whatever currency is configured for that in the merchant's Speed account.

The following are not supported with Speed:

  • Voids and refunds.
  • Auth-only transactions.
  • Recurring transactions. Recurring payments cannot be auto-debited: The wallet holder must initiate the payment with the QR or URL code that is provided by Speed when the merchant initiates the transaction.

Configuration

In order to use Speed with your merchant account, you must work with integrations to add it to your account.

You must complete the following configuration steps.

Configuration tasks

  "redirectUrls": [],
  "buttonIFrameUrls": [
    {
      "paymentMethod": "speedpay",
      "url": "https://api.nexiopaysandbox.com/apm/v3?token=830d36f6-a5e3-4455-9600-3a55b63e2fc2&paymentMethod=speedpay"
    },
    {
      "paymentMethod": "applePayAuthNet",
      "url": "https://api.nexiopaysandbox.com/apm/v3?token=830d36f6-a5e3-4455-9600-3a55b63e2fc2&paymentMethod=applePayAuthNet"
    },
    {
      "paymentMethod": "applePayCyberSource",
      "url": "https://api.nexiopaysandbox.com/apm/v3?token=830d36f6-a5e3-4455-9600-3a55b63e2fc2&paymentMethod=applePayCyberSource"
    }
  ]
}

For the multi iframe integration method: You use the expressIFrameUrl value in the steps for the transaction.

For the individual iframe option: You use the buttonIFrameUrls.url of the Speed APM for the transaction.

Transaction types and integration methods

Regardless of the integration method workflow you implement, consumers are redirected to Speed to complete their transactions.

Nexio supports the following transaction types for Speed:

A page similar to the following displays when a user clicks the Speed payment option. It contains options for how to pay and which wallet to use.

Testing data

For testing, go to https://ln.dev and create an account to use in representing a customer. This creates a test account with a small balance that you can use during testing.

To test, do the following:

  1. Click the Speed button on your site checkout page.
    The payment page for Speed opens in a new tab.
  2. Copy the Invoice ID (below the QR code).
  3. Go to https://ln.dev.
  4. Paste the Invoice ID in the Send field and click Send Payment.
Speed initial payment page
  1. If needed, log in with your test account, verify the amount, and click the Send button.
Speed confirm payment

You can simulate an error condition by clicking the Back arrow (upper left of the payment page), by waiting for the 10-minute time limit to lapse, or by paying an amount that is more than is in the wallet. The system returns a 435 error with an "Unable to process with gateway" message.

Response handling

In the one-time-use token request, Speed gets returned in the paymentMethod parameter as speedpay.

Nexio responds with transaction results in one of the following ways, depending on your integration workflow:

  • Event messages: This applies to integrations that do not pass a customerRedirectUrl in the request.
  • Response fields in the URL: This applies to integrations that do provide a customerRedirectUrl in the request.

In addition to one of the above, if your merchant account is configured to receive webhooks, Nexio provides responses to the webhook URLs that have been registered. For further explanation of the webhook event types, see the webhook Event types table.

For Speed, these are the possible webhook event types:

  • TRANSACTION_AUTHORIZED
  • TRANSACTION_SETTLED

For information about how to run each of the integration workflows, see Transaction types and integration methods above.

Status workflows

The status of a successful transaction with Speed varies, depending on the options you choose.

SaleSuccessful sale transactions have the following statuses:
  • pending*
  • settled

*Pending status displays as "authorized" or "AUTHORIZED" in the Nexio Dashboard; it displays as 10, meaning "authorized", in the response when querying transactions (for more information about transactionStatus, see the table).
