Payouts

Warning
The following content assumes you have obtained the necessary PCI certification to process and submit sensitive cardholder data in the request to our Webservices API.

If you are unsure, please contact our Support Team for assistance.

 

Payouts are similar to standard refunds, except they can be performed independently of other transactions. The benefits of performing payouts include:

Info
Payouts are also known as Credit Fund Transfers (CFT) or Original Credit Transfers (OCT).
Info
Payouts processed with Visa Direct are processed online, with the customer’s account typically being credited within 30 minutes.

 

Please contact your account manager to check if you are eligible to enable Visa Direct on your account.

 

Requirements

You will need to have a CFT Merchant Number associated with your Trust Payments account. If you are unsure if your merchant number supports this, we recommend contacting your bank for clarification. Additionally, please ensure you are following any guidelines outlined by your bank before proceeding.

 

Payout request

Using parent transaction

The following is an example of such a request:

Warning
Ensure the submitted accounttypedescription is “CFT”, otherwise a regular REFUND will be processed instead of a payout.
#!/usr/bin/python
import securetrading
  
stconfig = securetrading.Config()
stconfig.username = "[email protected]"
stconfig.password = "Password1^"
st = securetrading.Api(stconfig)
  
payout= {
  "requesttypedescriptions": ["REFUND"],
  "sitereference": "test_site12345",
  "accounttypedescription": "CFT",
  "parenttransactionreference": "1-2-345678"
}
  
strequest = securetrading.Request()
strequest.update(payout)
stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response
<?php

if (!($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../autoload.php')) && !($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'))) {
  throw new Exception('Composer autoloader file could not be found.');
}
require_once($autoload);

$configData = array(
  'username' => '[email protected]',
  'password' => 'Password1^',
);

$requestData = array(
'requesttypedescriptions' => array('REFUND'),
'sitereference' => 'test_site12345',
'accounttypedescription' => 'CFT',
'parenttransactionreference' => '1-2-345678'
);

$api = \Securetrading\api($configData);
$response = $api->process($requestData);
var_dump($response->toArray());

?>
curl --user [email protected]:Password1^ <DOMAIN>/json/ -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d '{

Without parent

As an alternative to the above, you can also submit a payout request without reference to a parent transaction. In this scenario, you will instead need to submit the customer’s payment details in the payout request. Please see the following example:

#!/usr/bin/python
import securetrading
  
stconfig = securetrading.Config()
stconfig.username = "[email protected]"
stconfig.password = "Password1^"
st = securetrading.Api(stconfig)
  
payout= {
        "requesttypedescriptions": ["REFUND"],
        "sitereference": "test_site12345",
        "accounttypedescription": "CFT",
        "baseamount": "1050",
        "currencyiso3a": "GBP",
        "pan": "4111111111111111",
        "expirydate": "12/2020",
        "securitycode": "123"
}
  
strequest = securetrading.Request()
strequest.update(payout)
stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response
<?php
if (!($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../autoload.php')) && !($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'))) {
  throw new Exception('Composer autoloader file could not be found.');
}
require_once($autoload);

$configData = array(
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'Password1^',
);

$requestData = array(
'requesttypedescriptions' => array('REFUND'),
'sitereference' => 'test_site12345',
'accounttypedescription' => 'CFT',

'pan' => '4111111111111111',

);

$api = \Securetrading\api($configData);
$response = $api->process($requestData);
var_dump($response->toArray());

Field specification

Info
When reading the following specification, please ensure that you reference the relevant code examples for your chosen language.

 

Field Format Description
accounttypedescription
XPath: /operation/accounttypedescription		 Alpha (20) Must be “CFT”.
baseamount
XPath: /billing/amount		 Numeric (13) The refund amount in base units, with no commas or decimal points. e.g. £10.99 would be submitted as “1099” but ¥246 would be submitted as “246”.

(Max length of amount may vary depending on your acquiring bank – Contact your bank for further info)
currencyiso3a
XPath: /billing/amount/@currencycode		 Alpha (3) The currency that the transaction will be processed in.

Click here for a full list of available currencies.
expirydate
XPath: /billing/payment/expirydate		 Date MM/YYYY If you would like to process a refund with an updated expiry date, the new value is submitted in this field.
orderreference
XPath: /merchant/orderreference		 Alphanumeric including
symbols (255)		 Your unique order reference that can be stored on Trust Payments’s system.

If this is not submitted, it is inherited from the parent AUTH request, provided a parenttransactionreference has been included.
pan
XPath: /billing/payment/pan		 Numeric (12-19) This is the long number printed on the front of the customer’s card.

We return a masked version of this PAN in the response, in the field maskedpan. e.g. “411111######1111”
parenttransactionreference
XPath: /operation/parenttransactionreference		 Alphanumeric
& hyphens (25)		 You can submit the transaction reference of the AUTH request that you would like to refund.
requesttypedescriptions
XPath: /@type		 Alphanumeric
& hyphens (25)		 The request type required is “REFUND”.
securitycode
XPath: /security/securitycode		 Numeric (3-4) This is the three digit security code printed on the back of the card.

(For AMEX cards, this is a 4 digit code found on the front of the card)

We strongly recommend submitting this value for the processing of security code checks.

Additionally, some banks may decline the payment if the security code is not present.
sitereference
XPath: /operation/sitereference		 Alphanumeric
& underscore (50)		 A unique reference that identifies your account. You receive this when you first sign up with us.
