Technical documentation for the subscription web service

The following is a detailed description of the input and output values for the subscription web service, which handles subscriptions. The web service for subscriptions is found here:

https://ssl.ditonlinebetalingssystem.dk/remote/subscription.asmx

How to read the documentation

Every description of a function consists of input and output fields. Input fields are all the fields the web service expects you to set as you call it. Mandatory fields must be entered - the rest can be empty values. The output fields are the ones returned by the web service.

Dataflow

1. CreateSubscription - requires PCI certification. Instead, use our payment window or a payment request (by saving the payment card).

2. When the subscription is created, you can do ordinary authorisations on the subscription by using the authorize function. Here the card holder’s credit card is validated (and stored in Bambora's system), and a payment is created. When the payment is created, you must process it by using the webservice payment.asmx, which handles normal payments (capture, credit, delete). You can use authorize as often as needed, and you choose the amount yourself.

3. If a customer wants to quit his/her subscription, the DeleteSubscription must be called, and Bambora deletes the subscription.

authorize

The input fields are the fields you have to send when you're calling the web service.

Input	Type	Values	Description	Mandatory
merchantnumber	Integer	7 digits	Your unique merchant number. The number is located on your agreement with the acquirer or in your Bambora administration.	Yes
subscriptionid	Long		The unique number that identifies the subscriber.	Yes
orderid	String	Max 20 characters. (Nets recommends that the order ID is 8 digits max. Numbers from 0-9)	The order ID from your own system. Used as a reference between your system and Bambora.	Yes
amount	Integer	Use minor units	The amount in minor units. E.g. DKK 125.75 must be specified as 12575 in the amount field.	Yes
currency	String	208 = DKK 978 = EUR 840 = USD	The currency of the transaction. See all currency codes here.	Yes
instantcapture	Integer	0 = Manually 1 = Automatically	If you put this at 1, the payment is captured automatically. By default, it is set at 0 and you have to capture the payment from the Bambora administration or through our API/web service.	Yes
group	String	Max 100 characters.	The group to which the payment is associated.	No
description	String	Max 1024 characters.	A description of the payment. You can see it in your Bambora administration.	No
email	String	Max 100 characters.	If you enter an email address here, you'll receive an email when the payment is authorised. This is NOT for your customer's order confirmation.	No
sms	String	Max 8 characters.	If you enter a mobile phone number here, you'll receive an SMS containing information about the payment. It costs DKK 0.25 per SMS.	No

The output fields which are returned by the web service.

Output	Type	Values	Description
authorizeResult	Boolean		See description of output values.
transactionid	Long		The unique number which identifies the payment. It is returned at authorisation.
pbsresponse	Integer		If Nets rejects the capture, you can find the error code here. If the capture is successful, the value is 0.
epayresponse	Integer		If Bambora rejects the capture, you can find the error code in epayresponse.
Output values	If the payment is successful, authorizeResult is returned as true. If not, the value is false. When you get a false, you can use epayresponse and pbsresponse to determine the source of error. If, for instance, this function returns a false, and epayresponse is (-1) and pbsresponse is 118, the reason is that Nets declined the payment because they don't recognise the card number. But if the function returns a false, and epayresponse is (-1002), it's because Bambora doesn't recognise the merchant number.
