IRIS Payments is a real-time payment service that allows users to initiate payments through their bank’s mobile app through QR code or online banking, in a secure, user-friendly environment.

Online shops integrate IRIS Payments to allow customers to pay directly from their bank accounts, bypassing the need for credit or debit cards.

For Redirect integration method, IRIS is provided as an option within the payment page.

IRIS is available only for Payment (once off) transactions.

Refund action is not supported through e-commerce platform (API or back office) for IRIS transactions.

Avoid using i-frame for IRIS transactions since there might be issues with the connection to the respective e-banking.

There is no need for further implementation since the IRIS option is automatically available in the payment page for the payer to choose. The only thing you should take into consideration, is that after a successful IRIS transaction, as part of the response message you will receive parameter payMethod with value ‘IRIS’, which is a new value (check also below).

By default, the respective payment page will have the below view. If you are using a custom css with changes in colors/shapes/font/logos, please confirm during your tests that IRIS remains functional (check below on how to make test payments with IRIS).

If you are using a different/older payment page, you need to follow the below steps:

1. Register and/or log in Sandbox and create a new application with Business partner: Nexi and Integration method: Redirect.
2. Within the new app, go to section “Payment Page" and download the respective xsl/css files of the default payment page.
3. Customize those files the way you desire and upload them through the same section.
4. Once the custom payment page has been adjusted to your test mid, we will inform you to proceed with your tests.
5. Confirm through your tests the proper function of IRIS and let us know to adjust the custom payment page to your production MID as well.

If you wish, you can provide IRIS as a separate payment method in your checkout page and declare that you wish the payment to be made through IRIS by using parameter payMethod=’IRIS’. By doing that, customer directly sees the page with Bank logos and QR generation and can choose how to proceed.

After a successful IRIS transaction, in the response message you will receive the respective parameter payMethod=’IRIS’.

Important notice: If you use one of our CMS plugins here, soon an updated version will be available to support IRIS for Nexi, without the need to insert IRIS customer code (seller id).
If you are already using IRIS through one of our plugins with a seller id, please do not install the new version.

How to test IRIS functionality

To begin with, you need to enable IRIS during a new app creation or through an existing app modification.
During new app creation, choose Nexi as Business partner and Redirect or Redirect/Direct as Model.

Post the respective request – using parameter payMethod=’IRIS’ if you wish – to open the payment page.
Choose the IRIS option to show IRIS details. If you use payMethod=’IRIS’, then you will be moved there directly.

In test environment, IRIS can be tested end to end only through QR generation. Redirection to e-banking is not supported.
Once you have generated the QR code, you do not use it through a banking mobile app, but you should expect the below results automatically after a few seconds (up to 120), based on the order amount.
