Flinks Pay is a payment processing service that allows your customers to transfer funds to you using Interac e-Transfer Request Money. Complete the following steps to set up Flinks Pay using e-transfer as the payment type:
  1. Complete steps 1-3 of Set Up Flinks Pay.
  2. The Flinks Pay application is hosted using a direct URL that requires an active session to initiate the payment request. Determine where you want to embed the Flinks Pay application:
    • Directly on your website, initiating when a customer is making a purchase
    • Within a pre-existing messaging system that you’ve already deployed on your website
    • By sending an email to a user that contains a link to the app (requires no integration on your end)
    • To discuss an option that’s not listed above, contact your Flinks Representative
  3. We will walk you through our standard onboarding and verification process, which typically takes 1-2 weeks. After this is complete, we will provide you with a unique instance and credentials that you can use to start making transactions.
  4. Start running tests and working on your integration using our Sandbox environment.
  5. Provide us with a high-quality image of your company logo and let us know about any additional customizations you want to make. To discuss customization options, contact your Flinks Representative.
  6. To start making transactions, follow the instructions below:
    • Validate your identity and initiate the process by calling the /Authorize endpoint. You’ll receive an access_token if the request is successful.
    • Pass the access_token, credentials, and instance to initiate a session with the application. If it’s successful, you’ll receive a sessionId.
    • Use the sessionId to finalize and activate the Payment Request and receive a requestId.
    • Use the sessionId to launch the Flinks Pay application by appending it to the base application’s URL.
  7. Go to production.
