Welcome to Paynetics Developers Documentation hub. Happy to have you on board!
Paynetics services are built around a RESTful API. This architecture allows us to have a uniform and scalable solution for your payment services needs.
The API communication is based on JSON Encoded Requests and JSON Encoded Responses.
Paynetics also offers a sandbox environment for easy setup and testing before you are ready to go live.

Authentication
Paynetics API uses HMAC authentication methodology.
To authenticate your API Request to Paynetics you need to provide the following elements in the header of your request:
x-hash : HMAC sha256. Use secret key* for hash vector. Body of the hash is formed by concatenating:
API Key + Timestamp + Operation + Content Body (Required: POST+PUT request)
Important:
Body content whitespaces will be omitted when comparing hashes!
{ " name ": " Paynetics " }will be{"name":"Paynetics"}
Request is valid for 15 seconds after hash generation!
For example if request timestamp is 1591096701 and current timestamp is 1591096720 request will not be authorized!
To exchange API key and secret Paynetics require public PGP key.
Secret key
Provided by Paynetics. Keys should be kept secure to ensure your data stay safe. Never share them publicly.
Hash Generation Examples:
Get Request
HMAC_SHA256 with API Secret of 07364675-5b2a-4d35-bd2c-b93e696aa53f1625399941cards_list

Collecting Data
Paynetics is a licensed EMI (Electronic Money Institution) institution, which means we need to maintain your
and our partner’s trust. Paynetics is legally obliged to collect data.
There are three factors which determine what type of data we need to collect:
What type of clients do you intend to onboard (Individuals/Legal Entities)?
Which of our products do you wish to access?
What is your current onboarding process?
Paynetics will provide a list of all mandatory fields and create a configuration for your profile based on
the
initial agreement. Once mandatory data fields are defined, you can test our offering and decide when to move
forward with live implementation.
Legal Entities Onboarding
Onboarding legal entities at Paynetics can be an automatic or semi-automatic process.
Automatic onboarding process utilizes a predefined ruleset of operations, which guide
the end decision
of every application.
Semi-automatic onboarding process offers assisted manual review by Paynetics'
underwriting specialists.
This is done after the automatic checks. This allows for a better understanding of the
legal entity’s
structure and background.
Note - Depending on the initial agreement Paynetics may recommend one of the two solutions above.
Submitting Application
By submitting a request with the predefined mandatory fields.
Refer to the example for the correct structure of the request.
Once the request is received, Paynetics system will check the submitted fields and validate the input.
Requests with invalid or missing fields will return an error prompting an update.
Automatic Checks
Once fields are validated, Paynetics system will perform a series of automatic checks, which can be:
Risk Calculation - Paynetics calculates the risk profile of each new application based on provided data.
Automatic Verification - Paynetics uses a third-party provider to extract information from local trade
registration bureaus to verify company details.
Security Checks - Paynetics uses a third-party provider to screen every new entity for adverse media and
sanction lists presence.
Results
Automation results are asynchronous and are received via webhook. Once automatic checks have concluded,
Paynetics system will be configured to perform different operations depending on your initial agreement.
Acquiring
Paynetics system will assign and provide a unique Merchant ID (MID) and Terminal ID (TID) via webhook. Once
received they are active and can be used via Paynetics API for operations and 3DS registration.
Account Opening and Issuing
Paynetics system will provide a unique merchant identifier(token), which allows an account to be created.

Programs
What is a program in Paynetics?
Your initial agreement with Payntics includes a definition of how you intend to use Paynetics' services.
This includes types of products, limits etc. Program is configured by Paynetics and is used as a term
that refers to a set of rules used for account and card creation as well as management.
The program configuration allows for a wide range of settings:
Balances settings
All accounts have one primary (main) balance that can be set in one of Paynetics' supported currencies.
Paynetics supports multiple secondary balances that can be set in the preferred supported currency.
Based on the settings, accounts can have one IBAN linked to the primary (main) balance or multiple IBANs for each secondary balance.
KYC requirements
Each program comes with configurable KYC onboarding requirements settings. Some programs may require KYC verification for natural persons. This is set up depending on the initial agreement.
Card settings
Paynetics offers plastic and virtual card issuing, which can be enabled via the available configurations in the program.
Cards can be configured to have enabled/disabled card push provisioning for Apple pay and
Google pay wallets.
The program specifies the processor and the default limit and fee groups for it. Other configurations include direct issuing and the max lenght of the name on cards.
Accounts
What is an account in Paynetics?
Accounts are entities created against a merchant or user with the respective program. They can have one
or multiple balances depending on your program.
Paynetics Account Core Functionalities
Accounts at Paynetics can perform a large number of operations.
IBAN - Accounts can have one or multiple IBANs depending on the program.
Supported currencies: EUR, BGN, GBP (Account number + Sort Code)
Virtual Accounts - Virtual accounts are linked to one main account and do not hold a balance. Instead, they are using the primary (main) account balance.
Card - A single card can be issued to an account. Cards can be plastic and/or virtual.
Money transfers - Account holders can send and receive money internally to/from another Paynetics account or externally to/from any IBAN.
Spend money by card - Cards can be used to pay in any physical location, online or withdraw money from ATMs.
Load - There are multiple ways accounts can be loaded:
via wire transfer from an external bank by IBAN
via external bank card
via internal bank transfer (P2P)
Type of accounts
There are several types of accounts that can be created:
Default
Funding
Virtual
Breakage
Glossary
merchant - all legal entity clients of Paynetics
user - all natural parsons clients of Paynetics
balance - a record of available funds that is always linked with an IBAN or balance token.
Account Creation
How to Create an Account?
Accounts are created via an API request. Each request should include the program and the merchant/user
associated with it.
For cases where IBAN/Account Number creation is allowed by the program, but should be omitted for a specific
account, a property in the API request can be used to skip that step.
For cases where a virtual account must be created, please include the primary (main) account identifier in
the API request. It is mandatory that the primary (main) account is opened to the same merchant/user as in
the request.
If the request is successful, the API response will return an account identifier and an array of balances
with identifiers to each one. It is recommended these identifiers are stored by external parties for later
usage.
For merchant virtual
accounts, Paynetics system checks if the primary (main) account exists and has valid KYB
verification.
For user virtual
accounts, Paynetics system checks if the primary (main) account is not blocked/terminated and has
valid
KYC verification.
Each merchant/user can have multiple primary (main) and virtual accounts.

Account Status
There are 3 statuses that an account can have:
Active
By default, accounts are created in active status. This means that the account can be loaded using an
external bank card, wire transfer, or internal transfer. Wire/internal transfers can also be initiated
by the account owner.
Active accounts can have plastic and/or virtual cards that can be used to spend available funds.
Inactive
Inactive status restricts the account holder to spend or receive any funds. Cards cannot be issued. This
status is reversible to active. If any cards are issued to the account, they are frozen as well as any
Apple/Google tokens
Closed
Closed have same properties as inactive but it also destroys all cards issued, remove all apple/google
tokens. Account closure is an irreversible operation.
There are two different APIs for account status change. One is for changing between active/inactive status
and a separate one is used for account termination since it is an irreversible process.

Cards
Cards can be issued to an account or can be non-personalized depending on program configuration. Each account
can have a single active card. Card can be either virtual or plastic depending on the program. Cards
can be
used to pay in any physical location, online or withdraw money from ATMs.
All virtual cards are activated upon issuing and can be used immediately.
All plastic cards are not activated upon issuing and must be activated by the customer once received.
All virtual cards are activated upon issuing and can be used immediately.
All plastic cards are not activated upon issuing and must be activated by the customer once
received.
Cards can be converted from virtual to plastic at a later stage. The PIN can be set on card creation or changed
at a later stage on ATM.
Apple Pay/Google Pay push provision is supported depending on the program.
Card Creation
Card creation can require different fields depending on type (virtual, plastic) and affiliation (customer, non-personalized).
Virtual Cards - to create a virtual card associated with a customer account, please include the account identifier and type of card (virtual). In case the name of the merchant/user is not present in the customer profile, please specify them in the emboss name, emboss name line 4, first and last name (for natural persons) fields of the API request.
Plastic Cards - the requirements for plastic card issuing for an account associated with a customer are similar to those for virtual cards. The only addition is to include the delivery details of the cardholder.
The program associated with the account will be used when the card is created. Virtual accounts use the balance of the primary (main) account.
Non-personalized virtual cards - the required fields are program code and type of the card (virtual).
Non-personalized plastic cards - the requirements for non-personalized plastic card issuing are similar to those for non-personalized virtual cards. The only addition is to include the card delivery details.
For all cases above there are additional fields which can be provided like PIN, fulfil and thermal line data. Card 3DS details can also be provided in order for the card to be enrolled immediately after creation.
Please be advised that fulfil and thermal line data usage and placement on the card may vary depending on the personalization bureau. Contact your account manager before usage.

Transfers
To move funds between accounts within the system or to external banks customers must have an account/card
opened in advance. Transfers API may have different requirements depending on the type of transfer
(internal/wire). Amount, currency, debtor, and creditor are required for all requests.
Debtor is the customer from which the funds will be deducted.
Creditor is the customer/external account that will receive the funds.
Internal Transfers
Internal transfers can be initiated between accounts/cards in the system using several identifiers like balance identifier, IBAN, Sort Code and Account Number.
As a response from the API call, a transaction identifier will be received when transfer is successful. The transfer is a real-time operation, meaning that in case a transaction identifier is received the transfer has been completed.
Wire Transfers
For wire transfer account must have IBAN or account number generated for a specific payment network. The
network is routed depending on the currency and/or program configurations.
For most wire transfers there are additional requirements for creditor name, address, and country (depending
on the network).
Debtor name, address, and country will also be required in case they are missing in the customer profile.
A response from the API call, a transaction identifier will be received when the transfer is successfully
initiated. Wire transfers are not processed in real-time the way internal transfers are. There might be a
delay between several seconds to several days depending on the payment network. When the transfer has been
processed a webhook (link to webhook) with the status of the transfer will be sent.

Based on instance level configuration the IWT will be placed in queue where external system can make decision what must have done with the transfer.
System will automatically return the transfer in case the account is not found, closed, or blocked.
Once the transfer has been added into the queue webhook will be sent to external system with token (identifier) of the queue record.
In case the webhook has not been received from the first time the system will try to resend it 3 more times.
Example of the webhook can be found webhooks section TRANSACTION.SUSPENDED
