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 CACF_3X and CACF_4X mean of payment integration integration into Worldline Sips.

This document is intended to help you implement the CACF_3X and CACF_4X mean of payment integration on your e-commerce site.

It includes:

  • functional information for you

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

  • Functional presentation

The CACF is a private mean of payment offered by major retailers, with the exclusive acquirer Crédit Agricole.

The CACF_3X and CACF_4X are credit means of payment in instalments with or without fees.

At the end of this type of payment, you are credited with the amount in one time and the cardholder will be debited in 3 or 4 times (depending on the chosen mean of payment).

The customer selects between CACF_3X, CACF_4X, CACF_3XSANSFRAIS or CACF_4XSANSFRAIS means of payment.

They are then redirected to the required information entry page:

In order to offer the CACF_3X and CACF_4X means of payment on your website, you have to sign an acceptance contract with Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance. Thereafter, you transmit us the contract number for recording in our information system.

Worldline Sips offers you two solutions to integrate the CACF_3X and CACF_4X means of payment:

  • Sips Paypage which directly acts as the payment interface with clients via their web browser.
  • Sips Office which gives you the opportunity to display your payment pages and works through a server-to-server dialog.

The remittance modes available for a transaction are:

  • Cancellation mode: default mode allowing transaction remittance on a predefined date, called capture delay. When this capture delay is reached, the remittance is sent automatically. This delay is set via the captureDay field with its 0 default value (end-of-day payment).
  • Validation mode: you must validate the transaction to trigger the remittance. A capture delay must also be defined. When this capture delay is reached or exceeded, you will not be able to validate the transaction, which will therefore expire automatically.

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


Diagram of the payment process.

The transaction is switched to Validation mode with a capture_mode Validation or to Cancel mode with a capture_mode Author_capture. With a response_code 00, a status To Validate in Validation mode or a status To capture in Cancellation mode is retrieved. With a response_code 17, the status is Aborted. For all other codes, the status is Refused.

The payment process for Sips Paypage is described below:

The customer must be redirected to the redirectionUrl URL provided in response of the paymentProviderInitialize method. This redirection consists in making a POST call on the redirectionUrl URL received in the response to the payment initialisation. The POST settings to be transmitted are redirectionData and messageVersion also received in the response to the payment initialisation.

At the end of the payment process, the customer is redirected to the URL provided in the merchantReturnUrl initialisation request. The following fields are sent to POST and must be retrieved to finalise the payment.

Field name Remarks/rules
responseCode Redirection process response code
redirectionData Redirection data retrieved in response to the payment initialisation.
messageVersion Message version retrieved in response to the payment initialisation.
amount Transaction amount in cents
merchantId Shop identifier
transactionReference Transaction reference
transactionId Transaction identifier
transactionDate Transaction date

This last step allows you to obtain the payment status. The settings obtained during the redirection after the payment process on the means of payment website are to be transmitted during this call. The method used to finalise a payment is paymentProviderFinalize.

Tip: you can obtain a code 24 "Operation impossible" in response to your paymentProviderFinalize request. This code means that this request has already been sent and processed for the transaction in question. If you are unable to identify this processing, please use the GetTransactionData function of the diagnostic service: this operation allows you to retrieve information relating to a transaction previously created using the Worldline Sips.

You must provide the following specific fields in the finalisation request for a payment CACF_3X or CACF_4X.

Field name Remarks/rules
redirectionData Redirection data retrieved after the customer returns to your website (cf. Redirecting the customer to the means of payment website).

The following operations are available on CACF_3X and CACF_4X transactions:

Cash management
Cancellation V
Validation V
Refund V
Duplication X
Credit X

The diagram below explains which cash management operation is available when a transaction is in a given state:


Diagram describing the possible cash operations on the transactions.

For a transaction in To Validate status, either it expires or it is validated and passes to To Capture. When the transaction is in To Capture, you can make a partial cancellation and the remaining amount to be debited remains in To Capture status. You can also cancel it completely and the transaction will go to the status Cancelled. If no action is taken on the transaction, it goes to the status Captured. Once it is in Captured status, you can make a partial refund and the transaction remains in Captured status; you can also make a total refund and the transaction changes to Credited status.

The reports provided by Worldline Sips allow you to have a comprehensive and consolidated view of your transactions, cash operations, accounts and chargebacks. You can use this information to improve your information system.

The availability of the CACF_3X and CACF_4X transactions for each type of report is summarised in the table below:
