Checkout Page Use Cases
General Usage Scenario
Order Creation
- The customer selects a product existing on your end (e.g., in your online catalog or application) and clicks the Buy button.
- You redirect the customer to the checkout page via a checkout link. This link allows the customer to purchase the product selected. Each product uses an individual link. You can add additional parameters to the link to transfer the quantity/currency of the product or to activate a discount, etc.
- On the checkout page, the customer must complete the steps required for the purchase. The customer:
- Manages the contents of their order (changes the quantity of the product selected, returns to your end and adds one more product, applies special offers, etc.)
- Fills in their personal data.
- Selects one of the payment methods.
- Confirms their consent to the sales terms and conditions and to the processing of their personal data.
- Clicks the Continue button.
- We process the actions that the customer makes (order creation):
- We create an order. The status of this order is not paid. The order also has an additional status: not delivered.
- We send you a webhook. It notifies you about the order.created event (example).
- We redirect the customer to the order payment page
Order Payment
After an order has been created, the customer is automatically redirected to the payment page. Next, based on their payment method choice:
- Online method - the customer can immediately pay for the order
- Offline method - the customer receives instructions on how to pay for the order offline
If necessary, they can choose another payment method to pay for the order.
Upon successful order payment:
- The customer receives a payment confirmation email, an email with a receipt/closing documents (if required for the selected payment method)
- (Optional) You receive a webhook on event payment.succeeded (example)
- The system initiates the execution of the order
Order Fulfillment
Upon order payment, order fulfillment (product delivery) is initiated. The way an order is fulfilled depends on the license generation method used for the product being delivered:
- Web service - we send a request to your web service to get the license
- Pre-filled list of licenses - we get the license from the pool on our end
- Informational email - we generate an email (without the generated license)
- If none of the methods is used, you receive an email containing the request to provide the license. You must deliver the product to the customer yourself
After the required license has been generated:
- The customer receives the email containing the license
- (Optional) You receive a webhook on event product.delivered (example)
- If all the products of the order are successfully delivered, we change the additional order status to delivered
Additional Usage Scenarios
Error or Payment Issues
If the customer does not pay for their order within a specified time, we send them a reminder email (optional). If the order remains unpaid for 90 days, we automatically delete the order and its status changes to deleted.
If the customer makes a payment, but an error occurs (e.g., the customer entered their payment data incorrectly):
- We send you a webhook. It notifies about the payment.failed event.
- The customer can try to pay for the order again or choose a different payment method.
