Worldline Sips is a secure multi-channel e-commerce payment solution that complies with the PCI DSS standard. It allows you to accept and manage payment transactions by taking into account business rules related to your activity (payment upon shipping, deferred payment, recurring payment, payment in instalments, etc.).

The purpose of this document is to explain the dynamic currency conversion (DCC) functionality integration into Worldline Sips.

This document is intended to help you implement the dynamic currency conversion (DCC) functionality on your e-commerce site.

It includes:

  • functional information for you
  • implementation instructions for your technical team

To get an overview of the Worldline Sips solution, we advise you to consult the following documents:

  • Functional presentation
  • Functionality set-up guide

The dynamic currency conversion is a financial service that allows credit cardholders to benefit from the cost conversion of their transaction into their national currency when making a payment abroad.

This feature is currently available only for the Visa and MasterCard networks.

The DCC system is not a payment method. Therefore, it is not necessary to set up a new payment method. The transaction amount conversion in the customer's currency is made by the exchange office service provider Fexc.

The payment will be made in the currency of your customer or in euros.

For illustration, the screen below shows a payment page.



A second screen, below, presents the payment page with the choice of currency: pay in your own currency or pay in euros



A third screen, below, presents the transaction realized (with details and information).



The payments are made by the acquirer, according to the methods you will define. In principle, the collection is made at night (from 10 pm, CET DST) by exchanging of files with the acquirer.

In order to offer the dynamic currency conversion, you must contact your acquirer who will tell you the contractual agreements of his DCC offer.

You can offer the dynamic currency conversion through the Sips Paypage interface.

The remittance mode available for a DCC transaction is the cancellation.

The diagram below explains the different transaction statuses according to the chosen capture mode:


if captureMode equals to AUTHOR_CAPTURE transitions to Cancellation mode, after into TO_CAPTURE

The dynamic currency conversion for Sips Paypage is described below:

1) After finalizing the order on the merchant website, the customer proceeds to the payment. 2) The customer is redirected to the payment pages hosted on the Worldline Sips side and selects Visa or Mastercard and if the currency of their card is different from that of the merchant, Sips displays the fee in both currencies. 3) The customer is redirected to the ACS of his bank to do a strong authentication. 4) When the customer returns to Worldline Sips the ticket with the result is displayed. 5) If the customer clicks on the return to shop button, they are redirected to the merchant's website which unlocks the manual response. 6) The Worldline Sips engine also sends an automatic response to the merchant website.
