Complaint

GENERAL FLOW :

• These APIs allow merchants to manage transaction-related complaints efficiently.

• Merchants can submit complaints using the Submit Complaint API by providing relevant details and optional evidence, such as complaint descriptions and images.

• Once a complaint is submitted, a unique complaint reference ID is generated.

• This reference ID can be used to track the status and updates of the complaint through the status-check API.

• The APIs provide a secure and streamlined process for reporting and resolving transaction issues.

• Merchants receive real-time responses and status updates regarding the complaint.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS :

All APIs in this document follow these common security protocols:

1. HTTPS Requests: All requests are secured and must be sent over HTTPS.

2. POST Method Only: Only POST requests are permitted for API interactions.

3. API Header Requirements: Each request must include the following:

   • Token: The provided authentication token.

   • Content-Type: Set to application/json.

4. Signature Verification:

   • A signature hash must accompany the request parameters for verification.

   • Details of the signature verification process can be found at the end of this document.

1. Submit Complaint

• The Complaint Submission API enables merchants to submit transaction-related complaints.

• Merchants must provide essential details such as pid, order_id, ref_code, and signature for verification.

• Optionally, merchants can include a detailed complaint_description and attach supporting evidence through base64-encoded screenshot_images.

• Upon successful submission, the API processes the complaint and logs it into the system.

• A unique complaint reference ID is generated, allowing the merchant to track the status of the complaint.

SIGNATURE GENERATION :

1. For Complaint Submit API

• Concatenate request parameters pid, ref_code and order_id along with the secret_key of merchant.

• Hash the concatenated string using sha256 to create the signature.

PHP Example

function generateSignature($pid, $secret_key, $ref_code, $order_id)
{

//Concatenate the inputs
$data = $pid . $secret_key . $ref_code . $order_id;
//Generate SHA-256 hash
    $signature = hash('sha256',  $data);
    return  $signature;
}

//Example usage
$pid = "your_pid";
$secret_key = "your_secret_key";
$ref_code = "your_ref_code";
$order_id = "your_order_id" ;
$signature = generateSignature($pid, $secret_key, $ref_code, $order_id);
echo $signature;

Python Example

import hashlib

def generate_signature(pid, secret_key, ref_code, order_id):
    # Concatenate the inputs
    data = pid + secret_key + ref_code + order_id
    # Generate SHA-256 hash
    signature = hashlib.sha256(data.encode()).hexdigest()
    return signature

# Example usage 
pid = "your_pid" 
secret_key = "your_secret_key"
ref_code = "your_ref_code"
order_id = "your_order_id" 

print(generate_signature(pid, secret_key, ref_code, order_id))

1. For Complaint info API

• Concatenate request parameters pid and complaint_reference_id along with the secret_key of merchant.

• Hash the concatenated string using sha256 to create the signature

PHP Example

function generateSignature($pid, $secret_key, $complaint_reference_id)
{

//Concatenate the inputs
$data = $pid . $secret_key . $complaint_reference_id;
//Generate SHA-256 hash
    $signature = hash('sha256',  $data);
    return  $signature;
}

//Example usage
$pid = "your_pid";
$secret_key = "your_secret_key";
$complaint_reference_id = "your_complaint_reference_id";
$signature = generateSignature($pid, $secret_key, $complaint_reference_id);
echo $signature;

Python Example

import hashlib

def generate_signature(pid, secret_key, complaint_reference_id):
    # Concatenate the inputs
    data = pid + secret_key + complaint_reference_id
    # Generate SHA-256 hash
    signature = hashlib.sha256(data.encode()).hexdigest()
    return signature

# Example usage 
pid = "your_pid" 
secret_key = "your_secret_key"
complaint_reference_id = "your_complaint_reference_id"

print(generate_signature(pid, secret_key, ref_code, order_id))
