Payment Solutions
JazzCash payment gateway allows merchants to accept payments for their businesses in a secure & easy-to-use manner. It also enables users to pay utility bills, transfer money, and even manage insurance or saving schemes.
Their integration guide provides comprehensive details for seamless integration of money transfer through the payment gateway.
Debit/ Credit Card
You can request a JazzCash Debit Card through the app. Use it for ATM withdrawals and online purchases.
JazzCash Debit Card Charges: The one-time issuance fee is PKR 599.
When you receive your card, make sure the envelope is properly sealed for security. Check the issuance date, expiry date, and the CVC code on the back of the card. Always verify these details to ensure your card is ready for use and stays secure.
Mobile Wallets
This payment mode is provided via the online web page hosted by the Payment Gateway. The merchant provides the transaction details (transaction amount, order number, etc.) to the Payment Page. The payment page takes the mobile account details and debits it.
Voucher Payment
Voucher Payment enables customers to make transactions by paying through JazzCash Agents. Customer receives a 12 digit Voucher Number with the required amount to be paid via SMS.
Supported Card Scheme
JazzCash offers a wide range of card payment support and is integrated with MasterCard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS) to amuse its esteemed clients and merchants.
It leverages its MPGS’s features to offer banks, partners, and merchants a distinctive and excellent worldwide payments solution.
Here are a few advantages:
- You have complete control over the whole payment process.
- It connects to any website, call center, billing system, application, or Interactive Voice Response (IVR).
- The scheme enables the merchant to interact with the MasterCard Payment Gateway directly and then use JazzCash to get a real-time answer to the API call. The payer stays in the merchant’s application during this synchronous connection.
- Supports advanced MasterCard Payment Gateway operations such as capture, refund, void and queries where the payer is not directly involved.
Tokenisation
JazzCash allows merchants to store customers’ card payment details by generating a token linked to their customer profile. This token is created by the MasterCard Payment Gateway Solution (MPGS) upon a valid request from JazzCash after a complete authorisation process.
The token effectively replaces the actual card details in the transaction request sent to the payment gateway. Here are some benefits of this system:
- Since the payment gateway manages the sensitive card information collected from the customer, merchants face fewer PCI compliance requirements.
- If the token is saved alongside the customer’s data, it can be reused when the customer returns for another purchase.
- This process improves the payment experience for customers, as they do not have to enter their complete card details each time they make a purchase.
- Merchants receive notifications from the gateway regarding any significant operations performed with the token.
- Merchants have the flexibility to implement additional security measures for returning customers, such as requesting the CVV or checking 3DS verification for each transaction. This includes the ability to configure 3DS limit profile rules.
3D Secure
JazzCash supports 3D Secure for added protection during online payments.
This authentication service is designed by MPGS to protect online purchases against credit card fraud by allowing the e-commerce website to authenticate the payer before submitting an Authorisation or Pay transaction.
3DS authentication works by redirecting the payer to their card issuer, where they enter a previously registered password.
Hashing Scheme
Secure Hash is used to detect whether a transaction request and response have been tampered with.
The shared secret generated for the merchant during registration is included in the transaction message. An HMAC-SHA256 algorithm is then applied to create a secure hash. This secure hash is sent to the receiving entity along with the transaction message.
Since the receiving entity is the only other party, besides the transaction initiator, that is aware of the shared secret, it can recreate the same secure hash and compare it to the one in the request message.
If the secure hashes match, the receiving entity will proceed with processing the transaction. However, if they do not match, it indicates that the transaction request may have been tampered with, and the receiving entity will halt processing, returning an error message.
This security feature is recommended to protect transactions, but it is not mandatory.
IPN Web Hook
To provide valuable features for merchants, JazzCash offers a notification system that informs them when a payment is marked as successful.
To integrate this service, merchants are required to expose a transaction status update SOAP web service that allows the Payment Gateway to update the status of transactions that are not executed immediately.
ITN Web Hook
To entertain the merchant with the useful feature of tokenisation, JazzCash provides the merchant a way to be notified about the crucial operations.
To integrate with it, the merchant will be required to expose a Rest based Api for the Payment Gateway to update the status of the token.
