Integration Guide: Payment Request Signatures

Introduction

PortOne API payment requests are signed to ensure their authenticity and integrity. This document provides guidelines on how to generate signature for a payment requests.

Steps

The sequence diagram below illustrates different methods for generating a signature and using it within the SDK/APIs.

📘

If the signature is being generated through code, this process must occur on the server side (backend). This is because it involves the use of a secret key, which must remain confidential and secure.

The signature hash can also be generated using Generate payment request signature API and is illustrated in below sequence diagram


Generation signature hash via Code in Merchant Backend

  • When the Merchant(Frontend) initiates a signature generation request:
  • The Merchant(Backend) generates the signature using the payment data & PortOne secret and returns the signature hash to the Merchant(Frontend).

Generation signature hash via PortOne API on Merchant Backend

  • The Merchant(Frontend) sends a signature generation request with payload data to the Merchant (Backend).
  • The Merchant(Backend) generates a JWT (refer to JWT generation flow) and uses the PortOne signature generation API
  • PortOne API processes the request and returns the signature hash to the Merchant (Backend), which forwards it to the Merchant(Frontend).

Generation signature hash via PortOne API on Merchant Frontend (not recommended)

  • The Merchant(Frontend) requests a JWT from the Merchant(Backend).
  • The Merchant(Backend) generates and returns the JWT.
  • The Merchant(Frontend) sends the signature generation request with payload data and the JWT to the PortOne Server API.
  • PortOne API processes the request and returns the signature hash directly to the Merchant(Frontend).

Generate Signature via API

Use this API to generate the signature without code.

Generate Signature via Code

To generate a signature for a payment request, follow these steps:

  1. Concatenate the required parameters of the payment request into a single string in alphabetical order.
  2. Calculate the SHA-256 hash of the resulting string.
  3. Base64-encode the hash to obtain the signature.

Code Examples

package main

import (
    "crypto/hmac"
    "crypto/sha256"
    "encoding/base64"
    "fmt"
    "net/url"
    "strconv"
)

    ClientKey       string
    Currency        string
    Amount          float64
    MerchantOrderId string
    SuccessUrl      string
    FailureUrl      string
}

func GenerateSignature(requestObj RequestObj, portOneSecret string) string {
    // Create a url.Values map and add the necessary parameters
    params := make(url.Values)
    params.Add("client_key", requestObj.ClientKey)
    params.Add("currency", requestObj.Currency)
    params.Add("amount", strconv.FormatFloat(requestObj.Amount, 'f', -1, 64))
    params.Add("merchant_order_id", requestObj.MerchantOrderId)
    params.Add("success_url", requestObj.SuccessUrl)
    params.Add("failure_url", requestObj.FailureUrl)

    // Encode the parameters
    data := params.Encode()
    // fmt.Println("data is:", data)

    // Create the HMAC hash using SHA-256
    secret := []byte(portOneSecret)
    message := []byte(data)
    hash := hmac.New(sha256.New, secret)
    hash.Write(message)

    // Convert the hash to a base64 string
    hashValue := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(hash.Sum(nil))
    return hashValue
}
