Step 3: Configure your Thunes integration

What you’ll need from ThunesBefore you begin, make sure you have your Thunes merchant ID, API key and secret key. Thunes provides them when it sets up your account.

Integration instance name

An integration instance is a specific payment provider setup in Payrails. You can create multiple instances for different regions, currencies, or business needs. Choose a clear, consistent name, as it is used in routing.

In Payrails

Enter an Instance name for your integration, for example merchant_thunes.

Credentials

In Payrails

Field	Value
API key	Your Thunes API key. Payrails sends it as the Basic authorization value, so enter it exactly as Thunes provides it for Basic authentication.
secret key	Your Thunes HMAC secret key. Payrails uses it to verify notifications from Thunes.

Payrails sends requests to the Thunes qualification environment in test mode and to the live environment in live mode, so use the credentials for the matching environment.

Payment methods

Webhooks or notifications

Payrails sends its notification URL to Thunes with every payment, so you don’t need to set one up in the Thunes dashboard. Payrails verifies each notification with your secret key.

Request fields for Thunes

Send these fields in the authorize request, in addition to the standard authorize fields. Required fields must be present for the payment to succeed. Payrails sends Optional fields to Thunes when you include them. For more about meta fields, refer to Meta fields.

Field	Status	Description
`amount`	Required	Sent to Thunes as the amount and currency.
`meta.customer.reference`	Required	Sent as the customer ID.
`meta.customer.name`	Required	Sent as the customer’s first name.
`meta.customer.email`	Required	Sent as the customer’s email.
`meta.customer.country.code`	Required	Sent as the billing country.
`meta.order.reference`	Required	Sent as the merchant order ID.
`meta.customer.lastName`	Optional	Sent as the customer’s last name.

Thunes payments are captured straight away, so use instant capture in your workflow.

Enable the integration

In Payrails

Select Save account to enable the integration.
Confirm the integration shows as Enabled.

Your Thunes integration is now ready to process payments.

Next steps

Run a test payment in the Thunes qualification environment.
Verify that:
- Your customer is redirected to the Thunes payment page and back to your site.
- The payment status updates correctly in Payrails.
Once verified in test mode, repeat the setup in live mode.
