Get started
Access your technical keys
To link your software with our system, you need unique security credentials. Log in to the Bancontact Pro portal and navigate to the 'Settings' section. Here, you will find your API Key and Company ID. Keep these credentials secure, as they are required to authenticate every transaction.
Technical integration
Your integrator can use our comprehensive documentation to connect your system to the Bancontact Pro API. Share your API Key with them and follow their instructions.
Test your setup
Before going live, it is essential to run a few test transactions. Ensure that your system correctly generates the QR code and, more importantly, that it properly handles the "Success" notification sent back by our API.
How it works for you
Once your integrated solution is live, the payment process is fully automated within your existing system.
- When a customer is ready to checkout, select the ‘Bancontact Pay | Wero’ option on your POS system. Your system automatically calls the API to create the transaction.
- The system generates and displays a unique QR code directly on your screen or a receipt, or links to your static QR sticker.
- The customer scans the code with the Bancontact Pay app or their bank app and confirms the payment on their phone.
- Your system receives a real-time notification the moment the payment is successful. The checkout screen will update automatically to show the transaction is complete.
Useful tips
- Developer resources: point your technical team to our dedicated developer portal for the latest API specifications and code samples.
- Real-time monitoring: even with an integrated solution, you can use the Bancontact Pro portal to view a high-level overview of all transactions across all your points of sale.
