Additional Alternative Payments Notes

*NOTE*- If you are creating orders with the payment type of BrazilPay Bank Transfer (TEF), you will need to pass the Document ID through the sepa_iban parameter and pass the Bank Code through the sepa_bic parameter.

To create SEPA transactions using Alternative Payments gateway, it is now mandatory to validate the phone number. To do this, you can leverage the method "get_alternative_provider". One of the parameters of this method is "function". In order to do the validation you need to pass that parameter with the value "phone_verification" and in another parameter called "phone" you need to pass the phone number with a valid format (refer to http://www.alternativepayments.com/developers/API/#phone-verification for a better explanation on what you need to do in the checkout page).

After you fire the get_alternative_provider call, the customer will receive a SMS message with a PIN that he/she will have to insert in the respective field in the checkout page. At the same time, you will receive in the response of that method a "token" for that phone number, in which you need to pass that token in the new_order call through a new parameter called "phone_token". With this, you also need to pass the PIN that the customer is going to insert in the checkout page through a parameter call "pin_number".

There are 2 Required Fields on the Merchant Account Details tab. *Descriptor - This will be the MID Descriptor *Customer Service Number - The customer service number assigned to the MID

There is 1 Required Field on the Limits and Fees tab *Global Monthly Cap - This will be the sales amount allowed monthly on this MID 

To maximize the efficiency of sticky.io Reporting Analytics we suggest you take a moment and fill out the rest of the fields. These will all be used in sticky.io’s profitability reports.
