By using elepay’s Charge feature, you can keep the payment flow safe and smooth. End users can complete payment with just a few taps in a mobile app or on a web page. For the Charge feature, please use the Client SDK. Although a Server SDK is provided to improve developer convenience, you can also integrate directly with the RESTful API without using it.

Payment flow overview

Pay with the API

1. Order on mobile

The end user places an order in a mobile app or on the web.

2. Payment request

Your server calls the API for Create Charge and requests a payment.

3. Create a Charge object

The elepay server creates a Charge object for the payment request and returns it to your server.

4. Pass the Charge object

Your server passes the Charge object to the Client SDK on the client.

5. Process the payment

The Client SDK on the client side performs the payment using the Charge object.

6. Payment result

When processing finishes, the specified payment channel server returns the payment result.

7. Receive webhook event

If the payment succeeds, elepay sends a charge.captured event notification to the URL configured for your webhook.

8. Retrieve and handle payment status

We recommend adding logic on your server to retrieve the payment status. If, for any reason, you did not receive the webhook event, you can use Retrieve Charge Status to fetch the status and handle the payment result accordingly.
