Ovo is one of the leading e-wallets of Indonesia. When a customer wants to make a payment online, they will select OVO e-wallet, select “Place Your Order,” and be redirected to the OVO landing page. They will then complete the payment by clicking “Pay” and be redirected to the payment confirmation page. Once the payment is confirmed, the page redirects to the merchant’s website.

Integrating on your website / application

Step 1: Create a payin

Tazapay uses a payin object to represent your intent to collect a payment from your customer. The payin object tracks state changes from ovo payment request creation to payment completion.
Create a payin on your server with an amount, invoice_currency IDR and a transaction_description using the create payin API
A payin is created with the status requires_payment_method.

Step 2: Confirm a payin

Confirm the payin created in step 1 using the confirm payin API. Upon confirmation of the payin, a charge is requested on the customer’s mobile wallet. The status of the payin moves to requires_action The following sub-fields can be passed in payment_method_details

Combining Steps 1 and 2 into a single step

Instead of making 2 API calls, you can also combine steps 1 and 2 into a single API call. To do so, pass the parameters in both the create payin and confirm payin endpoints to the create payin API. Also, pass the following field

Step 3: Wait for your customer to successfully make the merchant

After confirming the payin, you will receive the following response. The customer will receive a payment request on the OVO wallet on their mobile device. They can follow the prompt to complete the payment.

Step 4: Handle post-payment events

Tazapay sends a payin.succeeded event as soon as the funds are received from the customer. Use the webhook_url field in the payin API to receive these events and run actions (for example, sending an order confirmation email to your customers, logging the sale in a database, starting a shipping workflow, etc.) If the payment is not made by the customer within the stipulated active time of the payment request and it expires, Tazapay sends a payment_attempt.failed event. Display a CTA on your screen to regenerate a payment request. To generate a new request, confirm the payin again using Step 2.

Test the Integration (Work in Progress | Not live yet)

In test mode (sandbox), set the phone as below so that it bypasses the validation.
  1. All the ovo_idr payment attempts will succeed 70 seconds after creation by default. You will receive a payin.succeeded event.
  2. All the ovo_idr payment attempts created with value 100000 IDR (invoice_currency - IDR, amount - 10000000) will fail 70 seconds after creation by default. You will receive a payment_attempt.failed event and the status of the payin will move to requires_payment_method.

Integrating Refunds

You can refund a transaction in two ways - using the dashboard or using Refund API. OVO does not support partial refund, that is, only refunds with amount equal to the invoice amount are supported.
