Version Control

Definition

The domestic-payments resource represents single, domestic, electronic credit payment-orders made in NZD that has been initiated by a Third Party on behalf of a Customer. A domestic-payment must be initiated using a payment-order consent which has been previously authorised by a Customer with an API Provider. This payment-order consent may either be a short-lived (domestic-payment-consent) or long-lived (enduring-payment-consent) payment-order consent.

The Status of a domestic-payment represents the status of the payment initiation with the API Provider.

POST /domestic-payments

The API endpoint allows a Third Party with an authorised payment-order consent to initiate a domestic-payment for processing:

  • The Third Party does this with the POST /domestic-payments action.

  • The Third Party must have an access token issued by the API Provider using an authorisation flow (either redirect flow or decoupled flow). This access token must be issued using one of the following consent requests:

    • domestic-payment-consent; or

    • enduring-payment-consent

  • The POST /domestic-payments request is an instruction to the API Provider to begin the single electronic credit payment journey. The API Provider will attempt to initiated the domestic-payment immediately, however, there are some scenarios where the domestic-payment may not be initiated immediately (e.g., busy periods at the API Provider).

  • If the Third Party is using an authorisation flow from a domestic-payment-consent:

    • The Third Party must ensure that the Initiation and Risk objects of the domestic-payment match the corresponding Consent and Risk sections of the domestic-payment-consent. If the two do not match, the API Provider must reject the domestic-payment.

  • If the Third Party is using an authorisation flow from an enduring-payment-consent:

    • The Third Party must ensure that the Initiation object in the domestic-payment is within the Consent parameters for the enduring-payment-consent. If the domestic-payment is not within the Consent parameters of the enduring-payment-consent, the API Provider must reject the domestic-payment.

Status

The Status is Pending immediately after the domestic-payment has been created.

GET /domestic-payments/{DomesticPaymentId}

The API endpoint allows a Third Party to optionally retrieve the domestic-payment that they have created with an API Provider, to check its status.

  • The Third Party does this with the GET /domestic-payments/{DomesticPaymentId} action - where the DomesticPaymentId relates to the domestic-payment to be retrieved.

  • The Third Party must have an access token issued by the API Provider using a client credentials grant.

Status

The available status codes for a domestic-payment are:

  • Pending

  • Rejected

  • AcceptedSettlementInProcess

  • AcceptedSettlementCompleted

GET /domestic-payments/{DomesticPaymentId}/debtor-account

The API endpoint allows a Third Party to optionally retrieve the debtor account linked to the domestic-payment.

  • The Third Party does this with the GET /domestic-payments/{DomesticPaymentId}/debtor-account action - where the DomesticPaymentId relates to the domestic-payment to be retrieved.

  • The Third Party must have an access token issued by the API Provider using a client credentials grant.

  • The consent object linked to the domestic-payment must have a DebtorAccountRelease flag set to true

State Model

A domestic-payment may only be created if its corresponding consent has the status of Authorised.

The state model for a domestic-payment has this state model.

  • When the Third Party creates the domestic-payment with the API Provider - the Status of the domestic-payment will be set to Pending.

  • When the API Provider completes necessary validation and business checks, and the payment initiation has been accepted for execution, the Status of the domestic-payment will be set to AcceptedSettlementInProcess.

  • When the funds have left the debtor's account, the Status of the domestic-payment will be set to AcceptedSettlementCompleted.

  • If the API Provider rejects the domestic-payment or the domestic-payment has failed some other reason, the Status of the domestic-payment will be set to Rejected

Status

Status Description

Status

Status Description

1

Pending

Payment initiation or individual transaction included in the payment initiation is pending.  Further checks and status update will be performed.

  • This is the initial state.

2

Rejected

Payment initiation or individual transaction included in the payment initiation has been rejected.

  • This is a terminal state.

  • Does not distinguish between failure reasons - e.g. insufficient funds.

3

AcceptedSettlementInProcess 

All preceding checks such as technical validation and customer profile were successful and therefore the payment initiation has been accepted for execution.

  • This is an intermediate state.

  • A payment in this state is generally expected to execute successfully; however may not be completed end-to-end in some scenarios. These scenarios may include:

    • Fraud

    • Bank failure

    • The creditor account is closed/invalid/unable to receive credits

  • Failure scenarios are best managed in the bilateral agreements between the Third Party and API Provider.

4

AcceptedSettlementCompleted

Settlement on the debtor's account has been completed. 

  • This is a terminal state.

  • Settlement on the debtor's account has been completed, but the inter-bank clearing and settlement process may not have completed, and the funds may not have been received in the creditor's account.
