Introduction

This method initiates a Swish payment request. A typical user flow:

  1. A user selects to pay with Swish at the checkout or cashier at the merchant's website.
  2. Depending on the merchant integration, the user scans a QR code, opens Swish, or enters their mobile phone number.
  3. Once the user is in the Swish app, the user is requested to authorize the payment with Mobile BankID.
  4. Following successful payment authorization, the user is redirected back to the merchant.
  5. There is no Trustly Checkout (frontend) involved. Swish is offered as a pure API integration and the UX is controlled by the merchant.

Swish payment flows

Swish has two payment flows, m-commerce and e-commerce. Trustly supports both payment flows.

The m-commerce flow is where the merchant receives a token that needs to be delivered either to the user's Swish app to start the payment or displayed in a QR code that the user scans with the Swish app. The user does not have to fill in any phone number to start the payment and it allows the Swish app to be opened directly and automatically return the user to the website.

The e-commerce flow needs a user's phone number to start a payment and then the user opens the app manually to complete the payment and the user cannot be automatically returned to the website.

👍

Trustly recommends using the m-commerce flow as it provides a better user experience resulting in higher conversion.

To trigger the m-commerce flow in the API you on:

  • MOBILE - set the parameter UseMobile==1 and don’t send a mobilePhone and Trustly on success returns a Swish payment request token (swish://paymentrequest=token&callbackurl=merchantappcallbackurl) and a QR Code in a base64 String.
  • DESKTOP- set UseMobile==0 and don’t send a mobilePhone and Trustly on Success returns a QR Code in a base64 String.

To trigger the e-commerce flow you set UseMobile== 0 and send the mobilePhone and Trustly will return an OK response and an order id.
