Request Specification and technical documentation is available under
With the Saferpay Rest API, you can fully automate your invoicing process whether by e-mail, mail or online. This not only saves you time, but also enables your customers to settle the invoice using their preferred payment method.
The following requirements have to be met, in order to use the Secure PayGate REST API:
You need a Saferpay Secure PayGate contract, in order to use the Secure PayGate in the first place
In conjunction with that, you need at least one Secure PayGate terminal, with attached payment methods of your choice.
A Saferpay eCommerce licence and thus the existence of a valid identification with a username and password for the Saferpay system, to access the necessary API-functions.
If you are implementing new payment methods and/or features, please make sure to implement the correct SpecVersion of our API.
Attention: This guide will always assume the latest SpecVersion of the Saferpay JSON API, unless stated otherwise! While some features do work with older versions, please always consult the specification and, if need be, the version, you have currently implemented, as stated below!
Furthermore, it is possible to go back to previous spec-versions, by adding the version to the url. For example, if you want to go back to the 1.45 specification, simply add the version to the url like this:
1.26+
The BillingAddressForm.Display parameter got removed.
A single-use link is meant to be payed once. Until it has been payed, it can be opened multiple-times, unlike links, created by the payment API.
An offer is not sent automatically!
It is intended for you to send the payment link, using your own mail client, which is supported by a lot of environments and programming languages by default. This way, you have full control over the text and especially look and feel of your e-mail.
The Application will be marked as RestApi.
The details of API-created links may be viewed, however it cannot be modified.
Similar to the Payment Page, the Secure PayGate API also has the ability to save a card, during a transaction. Simply add the RegisterAlias container to your request, as described in the request specification:
It is possible to delete an already created offer, using the Management API. However, for that, you must pay special attention, as it may not be trivial at first glance.
It is important to note, that DELETE only deletes the offer itself, but does not kill the Payment session. If the customer already arrived on the payment page to pay the offer, SPG-delete will have no effect on the outcome of the payment.
It only prevents the payment link itself from being opened. If the Link already has been opened, a payment can still be made. Though it will still void the payment link itself.
The Management API offers several methods to queue account information and to manage said account. This enables you for instance to automatically configure your systems, should the need arise. It is also very helpful, if you have multiple shops, or franchises below you, that all need a full list of payment methods and their configured currencies, or information about available Saferpay functions in order to function properly. While this information can be gathered manually, the Management API offers a way to automatically configure everything, also eliminating the possibility for user-error.
This is especially interesting for integrators, that are offering their services to multiple merchants, that want to use Saferpay, enabling their software to automatically set itself up.
The Management-API offers a way to gather information about any terminal, that is activated on the given Saferpay account.

The Secure PayGate Management API can be connected with the Saferpay JSON-API, specifically the Payment Page interface, enabling you, to fully automate the creation, sending and processing of your Secure PayGate offers. For that, you must define the {{{PAYMENTPAGETOKEN}}}, , otherwise you do not have the necessary data to execute the next step.
Once the redirect and/or the notification call arrives at your webserver, you can extract the {{{PAYMENTPAGETOKEN}}} and simply execute the . That will return the payment data of the Secure PayGate transaction to your system. This transaction is like a normal transaction and further steps may be applied to it, for example the , , or . may also be executed, if you wish.
As of now the automatic capturing-option, as described in the , does not apply to transactions, made via the Secure PayGate API! You always either have to capture them manually through the Saferpay Backoffice, or via the JSON API, as described above!
