Prerequisites
Before starting development with PingPongCheckout products and solutions, please familiarize yourself with our latest documentation, including developer guides, API references, code examples, etc. The integration process is conducted through communication in the integration group.
Sandbox Account Setup
Before starting integration, you need to obtain a sandbox account for API testing. For convenient integration, we will provide a public sandbox account for testing. Of course, you can also choose to log in to PingPong's sandbox merchant backend to register and obtain a new sandbox account.
Note
If the merchant registers their own sandbox account, they need to provide account information to PingPong's technical support for some configuration before it can be used.
Determine Integration Solution
Before integration, you need to determine your integration solution. We provide multiple ways to integrate our API interface, ranging from pre-built hosted options to direct integrations where you control the payment experience yourself. We recommend choosing based on your desired level of page control, technical capabilities, and compliance readiness. For example, Hosted solutions support either rendering the checkout with the JS SDK or using a hosted payment page; Non-Hosted solutions support both Non-Hosted card payments and Non-Hosted local payments (APM). If you choose the Non-Hosted card flow and handle cardholder data yourself, you need PCI-DSS certification and the ability to independently develop and maintain the checkout experience.
API Authorization and Configuration
After completing sandbox testing, you need to contact PingPong's technical support for API authorization and configuration. Before authorization is completed, production accounts are unavailable. After API authorization is completed, you can log in to the merchant backend to obtain accId and secret key, and replace all sandbox environment configurations.
Production Environment Integration
After completing sandbox environment testing, you will enter the website information review and necessary account configuration phase before production. After approval, production environment parameters will be issued. After obtaining production environment parameters, please complete the following items:
- Replace sandbox environment parameters with production parameters.
- Self-test payments and complete screenshots
- Prepare a $1 product link
Production Environment Verification
- Send screenshots and product link, and notify technical support. The customer/technical support will initiate a real transaction test on the product link to verify the results;
- After completing the real transaction test, the merchant needs to initiate a refund to verify the refund process;
- After completing the above processes, website integration ends, payment channels officially go online, and payments become available.
