PayTo
PayTo is an Australian real-time payment system supported by Unaric Payments through GoCardless.
How it works
- The PayTo payment flow redirects to a GoCardless-hosted interface. As such, if embedded in your web journey, align styling with GoCardless branding guidelines.
- PayTo is not available via MOTO mode due to required customer bank app authentication.
Setup PayTo as payment method
- Navigate to the Unaric Payments Setup tab under your chosen Merchant Group and click the New PSP Connection button.
- Set these parameters:
- PSP: GoCardless.
- Mode: PayTo.
- Click Create PSP Connection.
- Enter your GoCardless credentials.
- Create your Payment and/or Authorisation records with PayTo included in the Payment Route Options.
How to use
- Create your Authorisation or Payment record with PayTo in the Payment Route Options field.
- Populate the required PayTo fields on the Authorisation/Payment record.
- For Payments with In Force Authorisations:
- You can omit the PayTo Description and Purpose Code on the Payment (they will be inherited).
- If included manually, they must match the attached Authorisation.
- For combined Authorisation and Payment:
- Set PayTo Description and Purpose Code on both records, and they must match.
- Send the customer the eCommerce URL. The PayTo option will appear on the PayPage.
As PayTo is still being rolled out and adopted, if the bank doesn't support it yet, GoCardless will automatically revert to using the older, established BECS Direct Debit system for that payment. If so, the payment details will switch to:
- Payment Route Option = PayTo
- Payment Route Selected = Direct Debit
Activate PayTo
PayTo was introduced in Unaric Payments v.2.32. If upgrading from a previous version, you need to activate PayTo manually following the instructions below.
