DANA is a digital wallet in Indonesia and part of the Alipay+ network. Customers pay for online purchases from their DANA balance or linked accounts. Payrails processes DANA through Checkout.com.

How a DANA payment works

DANA is a wallet redirect payment method:
  1. The customer selects DANA at checkout.
  2. Payrails creates the payment at Checkout.com and returns a redirect URL, and the customer goes to DANA.
  3. The customer signs in to DANA and confirms the payment.
  4. DANA sends the customer back to your returnInfo URL.
  5. Payrails receives the final result from Checkout.com and updates the payment.
Each payment is single-use: the customer confirms every payment on its own. Payrails captures DANA payments immediately, so a successful payment is final. To return funds, refund the payment.

Supported currencies and countries

DANA supports IDR (Indonesian rupiah) as its presentment currency.

Supported workflows

Before you begin

Complete these steps before you send your first DANA payment through Checkout.com:
  1. Set up a Checkout.com integration in your workspace. Follow the Checkout.com integration setup guide if you don’t have one yet.
  2. Ask Checkout.com support to enable Alipay+ and DANA on your Checkout.com processing channel.
  3. In the Payrails Portal, go to Settings → Integrations, open your Checkout.com integration, select Dana under Payment methods, and save.
  4. Add DANA as a payment option in your workflow.

Request fields for Checkout.com

Send these fields in the authorize request, in addition to the standard authorize fields. Payrails checks Required fields and returns an error when one is missing. Fields required by the PSP pass the Payrails checks but the PSP can decline the payment without them.

Authorize a DANA payment

Call authorize a payment with dana as the paymentMethodCode. The response includes the redirect to DANA.
Authorize request
After the customer confirms the payment, DANA returns them to your success or error URL. Confirm the result through webhook notifications or the execution status before you fulfill the order.

How Checkout.com handles DANA

  • Payrails creates the DANA payment through the Checkout.com Payment Setup API, and sends the order items with it.
  • Payrails sets the Checkout.com terminal type from meta.clientContext.clientType.
  • If Checkout.com doesn’t return a redirect for a pending DANA payment, Payrails fails the payment, because the customer can’t complete it.
  • Payrails doesn’t save the DANA payment method at Checkout.com, so Save Instruments and MIT aren’t available.
