Supported payment methods and payment operations

The BillDesk payment gateway integration supports the following Credit Card payment methods:

  • American Express
  • Diners Club
  • Discover
  • JCB
  • MasterCard
  • RuPay
  • Visa

The following payment operation transactions in Indian Rupees (INR) are supported:

  • Payment method validation
  • Payment, including one-time and recurring payments
  • Referenced refund

The creation of Credit Card payment methods on BillDesk is only supported through hosted payment pages. During the payment method creation, BillDesk charges INR 2 and refunds the same amount to your customer.

To support processing one-time and recurring payments, you can implement a hosted payment page by passing in additional client parameters. See Implement one-time payment flows for processing payments in India for detailed instructions.

One-time payment flow

On the hosted payment page, your customers enter their card information and submit the payment. A prompt dialog for a One Time Password is displayed. After your customers enter the password and submit, Zuora processes the payment. 

When implementing your hosted payment page, you have the option to store the payment method. If you choose to store it, the created Credit Card payment method can be accessed through the Zuora UI and API operations. You can also retrieve the following token information in the Electronic Payment Methods section of the customer account page. Token ID and Second Token ID will be used in subsequent recurring payments.

Recurring payment flow

As regulation requires, a pre-debit notification per invoice must be sent to the Card owners before collecting the recurring payments. Zuora sends a pre-debit notification to BillDesk for each invoice before the invoice due date, according to the configuration in Pre-debit Notification Rules in Zuora. By default, this notification is sent 2 days before the invoice due date. This minimum value ensures that Zuora has sufficient time to send the pre-debit notification request to the gateway for further processing.

For example, the payment term is 15, and an invoice is created and posted on March 1st. The invoice date is March 1st and the invoice due date is March 16th. If the Pre-debit Notification Rule is set to 2, the pre-debit notification is triggered on March 14th. The payment is collected on March 16th. For instructions on how to configure this rule, see Implement one-time payment flows for processing payments in India.

Support for 3D Secure 2.0 

See Enable 3DS2 for BillDesk gateway integration and Zuora’s implementation of 3D Secure 2.0 for more information.

Supported Gateway Options fields

To support processing recurring payments, you must pass in the required Gateway Options fields for generating the e-mandate for recurring payments in India when implementing the hosted payment page. For more information, see Implement Payment Pages 2.0 to support processing payments in India.
