# Use cases This chapter is mainly dedicated to the appearance of the application and a description of the individual paths that the end user will follow depending on the payment method he choosed. Each of the payment method available in Paytool application is described in a separate section. Additionally, every chapter contains diagrams depicting the entire transaction process per payment method.

**Tip:** Check it now. Verestro Paytool demo application is available [here.](https://paytool.verestro.dev/demo/)

## Transaction initialization The first step of the each transaction always takes place in your application. Your application integrated with the Verestro Paytool solution should have exposed option allowing to pay using Paytool available in your application. Your backend should deliver the initial transaction data to the Paytool API to open new transaction session when your payer selects the Paytool as payment option. Our API will return you the transaction identifier and the payer's redirection address. The view of transaction initiatialization from the end user's perspective has been shown below. This view refers to the [Redirect your payer](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/overview#bkmrk-redirect-your-payer) integration path:

**Tip:** In this implementation model we are fully responsible for the execution of the transaction and [threeDs authentication](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-threeds) process. You only initialize transaction by redirecting the end user to the Paytool payment form and providing basic transaction metadata via the your backend.

### Server to server An alternative path to carry out a transaction is a [Payment process via API](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/overview#bkmrk-payment-process-via-) integration path. Paytool Frontend does not appear in this path. You make all requests directly from your server to the Paytool API methods we described in [technical integration guide](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/how-to-integrate).

## Payment methods Verestro as a PSP provides several different payment methods in Paytool solution. You decide which payment method should be available in Paytool payment form. You decide this during the [onboarding](https://developer.verestro.com/books/merchant-paytool/page/onboarding) process but it is editable whenever necessary. The end user, seeing the available payment methods, can choose the option that is most convenient for him. This chapter describes all payment methods supported by our application.
**Payment methods in Paytool**
Google Pay™
Apple Pay
Blik
Plain card number

**Note:** Each of the payment methods available from the Paytool frontend is also available with an API to API connection.

**Note:** It is required that you have created account in the Acquirer's system which will settle your transactions. Verestro Paytool solution has been implemented so that it is possible to process transactions with the participation of various Acquirers. If you require the settlement of the transaction by a new Acquirer – to which we are not yet integrated – there will be required new integration between Verestro and the new Acquirer. You should provide a specification of the Acquirer API.

### Plain card number The most common payment method available in our application is payment using plain card details. This payment method consists in providing a payment form in which the end user can enter his payment card details. The option to pay with plain card details is available at the button shown below: [![image-1685428055821.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/image-1685428055821.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/image-1685428055821.png) After clicking on the payment option using plain card details, the end user is redirected to the specially prepared payment form. Now he is able to provide the appropriate card details and clicks the **Pay** button at the bottom of the screen. At this point, the card details are encrypted and sent to the Paytool backend which requests Acquirer to process transaction. At this moment [threeDs authentication](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-threeds) process may be required. The payment process using plain card details from the end user's perpective has been shown below: [![image-1713956617464.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/scaled-1680-/image-1713956617464.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/image-1713956617464.png)

#### Dynamic currency conversion The currency of the payer's card may be different from the currency in which the product is sold. In this case, a currency conversion is required, which may result in additional fees. Our solution allows us to quickly identify the currency of the card presented and immediately display a surcharge if currency conversion is required to process the transaction. We also allow an alternative option where the currency conversion is done by the card issuer. In this case, however, we are unable to determine the amount of any additional fees. The payer decides which currency conversion option to choose: ours or an external one. ### Google Pay Paytool as a registered hosted checkout in the Google Pay™ allows to perform a payment with the card from the Google Pay™ Wallet. Using our application your payer can choose the Google Pay™ as the payment method from the Verestro Paytool payment methods list. The option to pay with Google Pay™ card token is available at the button shown below: [![image-1685428002241.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/image-1685428002241.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/image-1685428002241.png) After clicking on the Google Pay™ payment option, the Google Pay™ Wallet popup is displayed. The payer should select the appropriate card from the Google Pay™ Wallet which is then encrypted on the Google Pay™ side and transferred to our application. We will decrypt obtained data and transfer them to the Acquirer in the transaction request. At this moment [threeDs authentication](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-threeds) process may be required but it will be handled on our side. The payment process using Google Pay™ card payment token from the end user's perpective has been shown below: [![image-1689246683126.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/scaled-1680-/image-1689246683126.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/image-1689246683126.png)

#### Google Pay payment via API Alternatively Verestro as a registered PSP in the Google Pay™ allows to perform a payment with card token generated by Google. This payment option provides a backend to backend oriented solution. In this payment model you must be [registered merchant in Google Pay™](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/onboarding#bkmrk-register-and-integra) to be able to get a card payment token from Google Pay™. To use this option your API should be integrated with the `googlePayTransaction` method provided by Paytool API. By using this solution you need to display Google Pay™ Wallet in your application by your own. After selecting the Google Pay™ as the payment option a payer chooses proper card from Google Pay™ Wallet. After that action you get encrypted card payment token from Google Pay™. Card payment token is encrypted on the Google Pay™ side with Verestro's public key. You have to provide this encrypted token to Paytool API by using `googlePayTransaction` method. If you do this, we will handle transaction process on our side. At this moment 3D Secure process may be required and you need to handle it on your side using [threeDs authentication](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-threeds) methods provided by Paytool API.

**Important:** If you use Paytool with [Payment process via API](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/overview#bkmrk-payment-process-via-) integration path, make sure you are a registered merchant in the Google Pay™ system. This does not apply to Customers using the [Redirect your payer](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/overview#bkmrk-redirect-your-payer) route.

**Note:** Google Pay™ provides a [Google Pay Web integration checklist](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/test-and-deploy/integration-checklist) that will help you with the integration step by step. The documentation is available after whitelisting in Google Pay™ system. The whitelisting process is performed by Google Pay™ during the Customer's merchant account registration process.

**Note:** Google Pay™ provides [Google Pay Web Brand Guidelines](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/brand-guidelines) that presents branding requirements for web merchants registered in Google Pay™. You must meet these requirements so that you can allow his payers to pay via the Google Pay™ solution.

### Apple Pay Verestro as a PSP registered in the Apple Pay™ allows to perform a payment with card token generated by Apple. Using our application your payer can choose the Apple Pay™ as the payment method from the Paytool payment methods list. The option to pay with Apple Pay™ card token is available at the button shown below: [![image-1699524383207.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/image-1699524383207.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/image-1699524383207.png)

**Warning!** Apple Pay payment method is available in Safari web browser only.

After clicking on the Apple Pay™ payment option, the Apple Pay™ Wallet popup is displayed. End user should select the appropriate card from the Apple Pay™ Wallet popup which is then encrypted on the Apple Pay™ side and transferred to our application. We decrypt obtained data and transfer them to the Acquirer in the transaction request. At this moment [threeDs authentication](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-threeds) process may be required. The payment process using Apple Pay™ card payment token from the end user's perpective has been shown below: [![image-1699526152020.18.03.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/image-1699526152020-18-03.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/image-1699526152020-18-03.png)

**Note:** At this moment Apple Pay biometric authorization may be required.

**Note:** Payment using the Apple Pay Wallet is only possible if the payer uses MacOS.

### Blik Our solution supports cardless payments using the Blik code. The end user can choose the Blik as the payment method from the Verestro Paytool payment methods list. The option to pay with Blik code is available at the button shown below: [![image-1685523665104.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/image-1685523665104.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/image-1685523665104.png)After selecting this payment method, the end user must provide his e-mail address in the proper field in displayed popup and then confirm the willingness to make the transaction. Blik as an external service, in response opens a view that allows end user to enter the 6 digits code. This step of the process takes place outside the Verestro. The 6 digits Blik code is generated in the end user's bank application. The payment process using Blik code from the end user's perpective has been shown below:
[![image-1687851945379.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/image-1687851945379.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/image-1687851945379.png) [![image-1687852047098.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/image-1687852047098.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/image-1687852047098.png)

## ThreeDs authentication Transactions using payment cards usually require additional authentication of the end user (card holder). In accordance with the Europenian Union directive PSD2, the Paytool solution uses the threeDs protocol version 2.0 for the authentication process. The threeDs process consists in asking the card issuer whether additional authentication of the card holder is necessary or not. It depends on the bank's response whether the threeDs process will be necessary to perform. This is determined by one of two statuses that the bank returns during the transaction process: [`FRICTIONLESS`](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-%40startumlskinparam-p-2) or [`CHALLENGE`](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-challenge). The meaning of each status is described in the section [ThreeDs modes](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-threeds-modes). We take responsibility for performing the threeDs authentication process. The sequence diagrams below illustrates the threeDs authentication process step by step separatly for both cases: [`FRICTIONLESS`](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-%40startumlskinparam-p-2) or [`CHALLENGE`](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-challenge). ### ThreeDs modes
ThreeDs mode Description
`FRICTIONLESS` The response containing the `FRICTIONLESS` mode denotes that payment is successfully finnished. Additional 3DS authentication is not required.
`CHALLENGE` The response containing this mode denotes that the card holder must be additionally authenticated. Along with the `CHALLENGE` mode, the Bank also returns an encoded HTML template, which is displayed to the end user in the Verestro Paytool Frontend, thus allowing the end user to perform 3DS authentication.
#### `FRICTIONLESS` In this threeDs mode there is not any additional action from the end user side required.

## Transaction result Depending on whether the transaction was successful or not, the end user will see the appropriate status on the screen. From the status screen, he is able to return to the store's website manually - by clicking the **Return to the shop** button or wait for an automatic redirection. At the same time, we will send you post-transaction notification containing the status and details of the transaction. Depending on the configuration of your merchant account, an e-mail notification may be sent to the end user. Transaction status views from the end user's perspective are presented below:
[![image-1684330553924.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/image-1684330553924.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/image-1684330553924.png)[![image-1684330621724.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/image-1684330621724.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/image-1684330621724.png)
### Notification after transaction As mentioned in the [Transaction result](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-notifications) chapter, Paytool solution supports the sending of post-transaction notifications informing you about the status of a given transaction made in your context. This functionality is optional and it is up to you to decide whether you want to receive post-transaction notifications. This decision is made during the [onboarding](https://developer.verestro.com/books/merchant-paytool/page/onboarding) process and always can be edited. We recommend using this functionality, as this allow you to receive information on each of the transactions made using Verestro Paytool.

**Important:** In order for you to receive [notification after transaction](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/how-to-integrate#bkmrk-transaction-postback), you must define your own endpoint to which notification will be directed. This is necessary so that we know where to send an HTTP POST request with transaction details. During the [onboarding](https://developer.verestro.com/books/merchant-paytool/page/onboarding) process, the you can provide a valid and accessible URL address that will serve as the endpoint for the post-transaction notifications.

### End user notifications As mentioned in the [Transaction result](https://developer.verestro.com/books/paytool/page/use-cases#bkmrk-notifications) chapter, Paytool solution supports an e-mail notification sending. Such notification contains the status and details of the transaction. This message is purely informative so that the payer knows that a transaction has been made in the context of his chosen payment instrument. This functionality is optional and it is up to you to decide whether you us to send end users notifications after the transaction. This decision is made during the [onboarding](https://developer.verestro.com/books/merchant-paytool/page/onboarding) process and always can be edited.
