- API-Key
Please send the password for the .zip file to support@datatrans.ch. It is important to send the information in two separate e-mails, because they contain sensitive information. Please not that the API keys do expire after a certain period of time and they must be renewed and communicated to Datatrans. Please let us know the new passwords so that we can configure them again on our end.
POST URL call for incomplete transactions
During the SOFORT Banking payment process it is possible that the customer closes his browser window too early or at the wrong moment. In order to prevent potential inconsistencies we recommend activating the checkbox 'Send Post data with uncomplete' within the Datatrans Webadmin Tool under UPP Administration -> UPP Data. This ensures that your POST URL is called in the event of an incomplete transaction.
