Redirect Client to Cashier URL
Once you received the response of the cashier create payment API, your next action is to redirect your
client to the cashierUrl
received within the API response. Once you redirect your client, the cashier
page will be ready for your client to complete the payment.
If you've left the payMethod
key blank in your request, your client will have the options to pay using:
- MasterCard, VISA, or MEEZA cards.
- Obtain a reference number and pay at any POS of our OPay retail network.
Otherwise, if you have designated a specific payMethod
, only the designated payment method will be available to your client to use.
Payment Processing Information
If your client has completed the payment at the generated cashierUrl
,
he will be redirected to the returnUrl
sent with your request, otherwise,
if he decided to cancel the payment, he will be redirected to cancelUrl
.
You will receive the payment processing information on the callbackUrl
provided with your API request.
A callback object is sent in JSON and similar to what you would expect in response to a typical API request.
Below is the body of a callback.

Error Handling
After submitting an API call to OPay, you receive a response back to inform you that
your request was received and processed. A successful OPay API should return a status code 00
,
meanwhile, in a situation where any payment processing error occurred, you will receive an error code with a
message to describe the reason of the error. A sample error response can be found below.
{
"code": "02004",
"message": "the payment reference already exists."
}
Depending on the HTTP status code of the response, you should build some logic to handle any errors that a request or the system may return. A list of possible potential error codes that you may receive can be found below. A full list of all possible error codes can be found in the Error Codes section.
Error Code | Error Message |
---|---|
02000 | authentication failed. |
02001 | request params not valid. |
02003 | payMethod not support. |
02004 | the payment reference(merchant order number) already exists. |
02002 | merchant not configured with this function. |
02007 | merchant not available. |
50003 | service not available, please try again. |
