Key Concept: The Token
Every payment starts by calling createToken.
The token represents:
- Order reference
- Amount & currency
- Return/callback URLs
- Customer details
- Service / product info
Once you have the token:
- Redirect shopper to pay
- Receive callback / status
- (Optional) verify token if callback not received
Quick Start
Create a transaction and receive a payment token.
Send shopper to DPO's hosted checkout page.
Receive the payment result via BackURL Webhook.
Confirm final status if callback was missed.
Manage reversals and refunds.
