How a KNET payment works
KNET is a bank redirect payment method:- The customer selects KNET at checkout.
- Payrails creates the payment at Checkout.com and returns a redirect URL, and the customer goes to the KNET bank page.
- The customer confirms the payment on the bank page. The bank handles any one-time password on that page.
- The customer returns to your
returnInfoURL. - Payrails receives the final result from Checkout.com and updates the payment.
Supported currencies and countries
KNET supports KWD (Kuwaiti dinar) as its presentment currency.Supported workflows
Before you begin
Complete these steps before you send your first KNET payment through Checkout.com:- Set up a Checkout.com integration in your workspace. Follow the Checkout.com integration setup guide if you don’t have one yet.
- Ask Checkout.com support to enable KNET on your Checkout.com account.
- In the Payrails Portal, go to Settings → Integrations, open your Checkout.com integration, select KNET under Payment methods, and save.
- Add KNET as a payment option in your workflow.
Request fields for Checkout.com
KNET needs no method-specific fields. Send the standard authorize fields, including thereturnInfo URLs for the redirect. Payrails also sends these fields to Checkout.com when they’re present:
Authorize a KNET payment
Call authorize a payment withknet as the paymentMethodCode. The response includes the redirect to the KNET bank page.
Authorize request
success or error URL. Confirm the result through webhook notifications or the execution status before you fulfill the order.
How Checkout.com handles KNET
- Payrails creates the KNET payment through the Checkout.com Payment Setup API. Checkout.com needs no payment token for KNET.
- The KNET bank page accepts English (
en) or Arabic (ar). Payrails picks the language frommeta.clientContext.language. - If Checkout.com doesn’t return a redirect for a pending KNET payment, Payrails fails the payment, because the customer can’t complete it.
- Payrails doesn’t save the KNET payment method at Checkout.com, so Save Instruments and MIT aren’t available.
