Integration manual
Direct Bank Transfer

1. Introduction to Direct Bank Transfer

Customers (end customers) do not have to register for Direct Bank Transfer: They make a fast and easy payment using their online banking details. Thanks to real time acknowledgement of the transfer order, you as a merchant can immediately ship the goods or provide services. Furthermore, you can optionally offer buyer protection, providing additional security for your customers.

From your customer's perspective, a Direct Bank Transfer.'' transaction consists of the following steps:

As soon as payment by Direct Bank Transfer is requested, the customer is redirected to a Direct Bank Transfer page.

Below the overview of the transfer data (recipient, reason, amount), your customer is requested to enter the sort code.

Subsequently, your customer is asked to log on by entering the online banking details.

After successful logon, the customer has to confirm and release the transfer by entering a valid confirmation code.

If a valid confirmation code has been entered, the transfer is authorized and your customer will receive a summary of the executed transaction.

Finally, the customer is redirected to your online shop with one click.

2. Integration steps

The following steps are required to integrate Direct Bank Transfer in Jimdo:

Register as a merchant on our website https://www.sofort.com/register

4. Registration at Direct Bank Transfer

In order to check the correct integration in your shopsystem please perform a test transaction by placing an order directly in your shop. The single steps are:

Activate the test mode in the desired project in the Sofort Gmbh merchant area.
Place an order in your shop / system and choose Direct Bank Transfer as the payment method.
In order to simulate German sender bank accounts use "88888888" (8x "8") on our payment form, for Belgium choose "Others" and "999" (3x "9") and for all other countries "00000" (5x "0") or select "Demo Bank". The following requested data can be chosen randomly with at least 4 digits. (Instead of the test bank code a country specific test BIC will shortly be available: "SFRT{ISO-country code}20XXX", e.g. "SFRTDE20XXX" for Germany)
Please check if the redirect works properly:
1. Redirect after successful payment to success page?
2. Are all notifications sent properly?
3. Order in your shopsystem is created correctly and status is updated accordingly?

Note: After successfully testing Direct Bank Transfer please deactivate the test mode in the project settings in the Sofort GmbH merchant area to prevent customers to simulate payments with the test data.
