Storefront Integration

The Adyen App can be used to process payments using the Adyen API. By using Saleor's standard GraphQL payment APIs, one can interact with Adyen to authorize, capture, refund, and cancel payments.

Adyen Web Drop-in component

Getting payment gateways

The first step is to fetch the Checkout object including availablePaymentGateways field. The availablePaymentGateways field contains a list of payment gateways available for given checkout. The Adyen App should be one of the payment gateways available in the list. Its id is app.saleor.adyen - defined in app's manifest.

query {
checkout(id: "Q2hlY2tvdXQ6YWY3MDJkMGQtMzM0NC00NjMxLTlkNmEtMDk4Yzk1ODhlNmMy") {
availablePaymentGateways {
id
name
}
}
}

The response:

{
"data": {
"checkout": {
"availablePaymentGateways": [
{
"id": "app.saleor.adyen",
"name": "Adyen"
}
]
}
}
}
note

availablePaymentGateways may contain other Payment Apps as well as legacy Plugins configured in the Dashboard. You should ignore the ones that you don't want to use for a specific checkout.

Obtaining Adyen payment methods

Next, you need to fetch configured payment methods from Adyen. To do that, use the paymentGatewayInitialize mutation. The mutation returns an PaymentGatewayInitialize object with data field containing a list of payment methods. The data field is an object with the following fields:

{
paymentMethodsResponse: PaymentMethodsResponse;
clientKey: string;
environment: "LIVE" | "TEST";
errors?: SyncWebhookAppErrors;
}

Where PaymentMethodsResponse is the result of calling Adyen's /paymentMethods endpoint and is described in the Adyen documentation. SyncWebhookAppErrors is described below.

If errors field doesn't exist or is an empty array, paymentMethodsResponse, clientKey and environment should be used to initialize Adyen Drop-in.

mutation {
paymentGatewayInitialize(
id: "Q2hlY2tvdXQ6YWY3MDJkMGQtMzM0NC00NjMxLTlkNmEtMDk4Yzk1ODhlNmMy"
amount: 54.24
paymentGateways: [{ id: "app.saleor.adyen" }]
) {
gatewayConfigs {
id
data
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
}

The response:

{
"data": {
"paymentGatewayInitialize": {
"gatewayConfigs": [
{
"id": "app.saleor.adyen",
"data": {
"paymentMethodsResponse": {
"paymentMethods": [
{
"brands": ["visa", "mc"],
"name": "Credit Card",
"type": "scheme"
}
]
},
"clientKey": "test_AHSJKADHK12731KDSALD11DSADASA003",
"environment": "TEST"
},
"errors": []
}
],
"errors": []
}
}

tip

For instructions on how to add, remove or constraint payment methods from Adyen, please consult the Adyen payment methods documentation.

Paying with Adyen

After a user has interacted with the Adyen Drop-in and entered payment details, Drop-in event data along with other information should be passed to the transactionInitialize mutation as the paymentGateway.data field. The mutation returns the TransactionInitialize object with a data field containing the following fields:

{
paymentResponse: PaymentResponse;
errors?: SyncWebhookAppErrors;
}

Where PaymentResponse is the result of calling Adyen's /payments endpoint and is described in the Adyen documentation. SyncWebhookAppErrors is described below.

If the errors field doesn't exist or is an empty array, pass the paymentResponse to Adyen Drop-in. The Drop-in will handle the response and display the result to the user or require additional actions to proceed.

mutation AdyenTransactionInitialize($data: JSON!) {
transactionInitialize(
id: "Q2hlY2tvdXQ6YWY3MDJkMGQtMzM0NC00NjMxLTlkNmEtMDk4Yzk1ODhlNmMy"
action: AUTHORIZATION
amount: 54.24
paymentGateway: { id: "app.saleor.adyen", data: $data }
) {
transactionEvent {
pspReference
amount {
amount
currency
}
type
}
data
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
}
Expand ▼

Where $data is the object provided by Adyen Drop-in in the onSubmit (Web, React Native), didSubmit (iOS) or makePaymentsCall (Android) callback. Specifically, the following fields may be passed inside the $data:

  • paymentMethod (required)
  • browserInfo (required in browsers)
  • returnUrl (required for some payment methods)
  • origin (optional)
  • channel (optional, "Web" by default)
  • order (optional)
note

Moreover, Saleor Adyen App automatically provides the following fields to Adyen:

  • reference
  • shopperReference
  • additionalData.manualCapture (when action is authorization)
  • merchantAccount
  • countryCode
  • shopperLocale
  • amount
  • authenticationData.threeDSRequestData.nativeThreeDS ("preferred")
  • metadata ({ transactionId, channelId, checkoutId, orderId })
  • lineItems
  • shopperEmail
  • shopperName
  • telephoneNumber
  • deliveryAddress
  • billingAddress
  • company.name

Response:

{
"data": {
"transactionInitialize": {
"transactionEvent": {
"pspReference": "XXXX9XXXXXXXXX99",
"amount": {
"amount": 54.24,
"currency": "EUR"
},
"type": "AUTHORIZATION_SUCCESS"
},
"data": {
"paymentResponse": {
"additionalData": {
"paymentMethod": "visa"
},
"amount": {
"currency": "EUR",
"value": 5424
},
"merchantReference": "SOME_MERCHANT_ID_",
"paymentMethod": {
"brand": "visa",
"type": "scheme"
},
"pspReference": "XXXX9XXXXXXXXX99",
"resultCode": "Authorised"
}
},
"errors": []
}
}
}

Performing additional actions (optional)

Optionally, additional actions may be required: authentication of payment with 3D Secure, scan of a QR code, or logging in to the bank to complete the payment. In this case, transactionProcess mutation should be used.

mutation AdyenTransactionProcess($id: ID!, $data: JSON) {
transactionProcess(id: $id, data: $data) {
transaction {
id
actions
}
transactionEvent {
message
type
}
data
errors {
field
code
message
}
}
}

Where $data is the object provided by Adyen Drop-in in the onAdditionalDetails (Web, React Native), didProvide (iOS) or makeDetailsCall (Android) callback. The response is similar to the one from transactionInitialize but the data field has a different shape:

{
paymentDetailsResponse: PaymentDetailsResponse
errors?: SyncWebhookAppErrors;
}

PaymentDetailsResponse is the result of calling Adyen's /payments/details endpoint and is described in the Adyen documentation. SyncWebhookAppErrors is described below.

If the errors field doesn't exist or is an empty array, pass the paymentDetailsResponse back to Adyen Drop-in. The Drop-in will handle the response and display the result to the user or again require additional actions to proceed.

Repeat the step until the payment is successful or fails.

caution

Many payment methods are not settled synchronously. Sometimes it takes seconds, minutes, hours, or even days for a payment to go through. Adyen App will automatically handle Adyen webhook notifications and create transaction events in Saleor (see transactionEventReport).

Apple Pay onValidateMerchant

To implement Apple Pay integration through Adyen and use your own Apple Pay certificate, you must implement onValidateMerchant (Web, React Native) or onvalidatemerchant (iOS). The Adyen Saleor App provides a way to validate the merchant using the paymentGatewayInitialize mutation:

mutation PaymentGatewayInitialize($checkoutId: ID!, $data: JSON) {
paymentGatewayInitialize(
paymentGateways: [{ id: "app.saleor.adyen", data: $data }]
id: $checkoutId
) {
gatewayConfigs {
id
data
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
}
Expand ▼

and provide the following JSON in $data:

{
"action": "APPLEPAY_onvalidatemerchant",
"validationURL": "…",
"domain": "…",
"merchantIdentifier": "…",
"merchantName": "…"
}

All the parameters should be provided according to Apple Pay documentation on the Adyen website.

Additional endpoints (optional)

To use some payment methods inside Adyen Drop-in you may have to implement the following callbacks:

  • onBalanceCheck (Web, React Native), checkBalance (iOS) or checkBalance (Android)
  • onOrderRequest (Web, React Native), requestOrder (iOS) or createOrder (Android)
  • onOrderCancel (Web, React Native), cancelOrder (iOS) or cancelOrder (Android)

For example, these methods are required for Gift card split-payments.

note

Adyen's orders and requests for balance checks are not saved in Saleor. Each payment linked to Adyen's order will be stored as a separate transaction in Saleor.

Orders link transactions on the Adyen level. For example, if a user cancels an order (by removing gift card payment inside the Drop-in), every payment linked to that order will be refunded or voided.

onBalanceCheck

To call the /paymentMethods/balance endpoint use the paymentGatewayInitialize mutation:

mutation PaymentGatewayInitialize($checkoutId: ID!, $data: JSON) {
paymentGatewayInitialize(
paymentGateways: [{ id: "app.saleor.adyen", data: $data }]
id: $checkoutId
) {
gatewayConfigs {
id
data
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
errors {
field
message
code
}
}
}
Expand ▼

and provide the following JSON in $data:

{
"action": "checkBalance",
"paymentMethod": {
"type": "giftcard",
"brand": "givex",
"encryptedCardNumber": "...",
"encryptedSecurityCode": "..."
}
}

The contents of the paymentMethod field come from the Adyen Drop-in.

Example onBalanceCheck implementation in TypeScript could look like this (depending on your GraphQL client):

async onBalanceCheck(resolve, reject, data) {
const {
paymentGatewayInitialize: { gatewayConfigs },
} = await client.request(PaymentGatewayInitialize, {
checkoutId,
data: { action: "checkBalance", paymentMethod: data.paymentMethod },
});
const response = gatewayConfigs[0].data.giftCardBalanceResponse;
resolve(response);
}
note

Error handling is intentionally omitted for brevity.

The response received from Saleor with data from the Adyen app will be:

{
"data": {
"paymentGatewayInitialize": {
"gatewayConfigs": [
{
"id": "app.saleor.adyen",
"data": {
"giftCardBalanceResponse": {
"balance": {
"currency": "EUR",
"value": 5000
},
"pspReference": "BK4C…NN82",
"resultCode": "NotEnoughBalance"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}

onOrderRequest

Similarly to onBalanceCheck, to call the /orders endpoint use the paymentGatewayInitialize mutation and pass the following $data:

{
"action": "createOrder"
}

The onOrderCreate implementation in TypeScript could look like this (depending on your GraphQL client):

async onOrderCreate(resolve, reject, data) {
const {
paymentGatewayInitialize: { gatewayConfigs },
} = await client.request(PaymentGatewayInitialize, {
id: checkoutId,
data: { action: "createOrder" },
});
const response = gatewayConfigs[0].data.orderCreateResponse;
resolve(response);
}

The response received from Saleor with data from the /orders endpoint will be:

{
"data": {
"paymentGatewayInitialize": {
"gatewayConfigs": [
{
"id": "app.saleor.adyen",
"data": {
"orderCreateResponse": {
"amount": {
"currency": "EUR",
"value": 12000
},
"expiresAt": "2023-07-04T11:34:02Z",
"orderData": "...",
"pspReference": "W...82",
"reference": "5f0d76d5-aaed-40d3-87ff-bd34d6849f95,Q2hhbm5lbDoy,'c'",
"remainingAmount": {
"currency": "EUR",
"value": 12000
},
"resultCode": "Success"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}

Once the order is created, you may complete the payment. Use the data received from the Drop-in inside the onSubmit method. It includes the order property - Adyen App will charge the customer with the amount specified in the order's data.

For example: if you have only 20 EUR left on a gift card, and the order's total amount is 50 EUR, order data will firstly charge the gift card with the available amount (20 EUR) and the 2nd payment method with the outstanding order amount (50 - 20 = 30 EUR).

warning

Adyen app uses a pspReference field internally to link the notifications from ORDER_CLOSED Adyen webhook events

This field shouldn't be used by any external system, as it can change at any time without further notice.

onOrderCancel

Should be called when the user removes a payment method in a pending Adyen order, for example when there was already a partial charge for a gift card but the user decided to use a different payment method.

Canceling order in Adyen, automatically reports a new event on TransactionItem with it's type set to either REFUND_REQUEST (when charge flow was used) or CANCEL_REQUEST (when authorization flow was used). This is done in order to prevent order creation once the user requests a refund.

In case TransactionItem status cannot be updated, a request to Adyen won't be sent in order to prevent fraudulent orders.

To call the /orders/cancel endpoint, similarly to onBalanceCheck, use the paymentGatewayInitialize mutation and pass the following $data:

{
"action": "cancelOrder",
"orderData": "..."
"pspReference": "..."
}

The response from that mutation will be:

{
"data": {
"transactionProcess": {
"data": {
"orderCancelResponse": {
"pspReference": "...",
"resultCode": "Received"
}
}
}
}
}

Example

The onOrderCancel implementation in TypeScript could look like this (depending on your GraphQL client):

async onOrderCancel({order}) {
const {
paymentGatewayInitialize: { gatewayConfigs },
} = await client.request(PaymentGatewayInitialize, {
id: checkoutId,
data: {
action: "cancelOrder",
pspReference: order.pspReference,
orderData: order.orderData,
},
});
const response = gatewayConfigs[0].data.orderCancelResponse;

if (response.resultCode !== "Received") {
throw new Error("Cannot cancel order");
}

checkout.update({order: undefined});
}

Error handling

The three mutations described above may return data.errors field. The existence of this field determines that the request was unsuccessful. errors is an array of SyncWebhookAppError objects. The SyncWebhookAppError object has the following fields:

{
code?: string;
message?: string;
details?: JSONObject;
}

The code field is a string identifying the error. One of the following values is allowed:

  • UnknownError
  • JsonSchemaError
  • MissingSaleorApiUrlError
  • MissingAuthDataError - when app was incorrectly installed / uninstalled and token to communicate with Saleor cannot be found
  • HttpClientError
  • InvalidDataError - when data field provided by storefront is invalid
note

This list may be extended in the future. Make sure your app handles unknown error codes.

The message field is a human-readable message describing the error.

The details field is an object containing additional information about the error. It will contain different fields, depending on error code.

Adyen API errors

Error details will contain two fields:

Example:

{
"data": {
"transactionInitialize": {
"transactionEvent": {
"pspReference": "",
"amount": {
"amount": 54.24,
"currency": "EUR"
},
"type": "AUTHORIZATION_FAILURE"
},
"data": {
"errors": [
{
"code": "HttpClientError",
"message": "HTTP Exception: 422. : Unable to decrypt data",
"details": {
"errorCode": "174",
"statusCode": 422
}
}
],
"paymentResponse": {}
},
"errors": []
}
}
}
Expand ▼

Incorrect input data

When making request with any action described in "Additional endpoints" section, app might return errors field with a list of payment methods, just like when making "Obtain Adyen payment methods" request, rather than performing the requested action. This might happen when data requested by storefront was in invalid format.

In that case a single InvalidDataError error will be included in errors array with message field that explains what went wrong and with details field that contains fieldErrors that describe error for each field required in the request:

{
"data": {
"paymentGatewayInitialize": {
"gatewayConfigs": [
{
"id": "app.saleor.adyen",
"data": {
"paymentMethodsResponse": {
"paymentMethods": [
{
"brands": ["visa", "mc"],
"name": "Credit Card",
"type": "scheme"
}
]
},
"clientKey": "test_AHSJKADHK12731KDSALD11DSADASA003",
"environment": "TEST"
},
"errors": [
{
"code": "InvalidDataError",
"message": "Invalid action data was provided in PaymentGatewayInitializeSession request: orderData: Required, pspReference: Required. Please check documentation for required parameters",
"details": {
"formErrors": [],
"fieldErrors": {
"orderData": [
"Required"
],
"pspReference": [
"Required"
]
}
}
}
]
}
],
"errors": []
}
}
}

Free orders

You may have use cases where you want to create free orders, such as free samples or free digital downloads. This may require skipping the payment step and completing the order without a transaction.

Adyen Drop-in integration does not support handling payments with a total amount of zero. Amount: 0, has a specific meaning in Adyen - it allows payment method tokenization or to obtain other details from the merchant database.
