Konnect is a mobile wallet in Pakistan. Customers pay from their Konnect wallet balance and confirm each payment on the Thunes payment page. Payrails processes Konnect through one payment service provider (PSP): Thunes. Open the Thunes guide below for its setup steps and request examples.

​
How a Konnect payment works

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

​
Supported currencies and countries

Konnect supports PKR (Pakistani rupee) as its only presentment currency.

Integrate Konnect

Choose the PSP that processes Konnect for you. The guide covers the PSP-side setup, the Payrails configuration and the request fields that PSP requires.

Check PSPs

Konnect is a one-off payment method: Thunes doesn’t save a Konnect instrument for later merchant-initiated transactions (MIT).

Ways to integrate Konnect

  • Payrails SDK: the Web SDK shows Konnect when your workflow returns it as a payment option, and redirects the customer to the Thunes payment page. To control how the redirect opens, listen for the actionRequired event.
  • Payrails API: call lookup payment options, then authorize with konnect as the paymentMethodCode. The Thunes guide lists the meta fields Thunes requires.
In both cases, confirm the final result through webhook notifications or the execution status. Don’t treat the customer’s return to your success URL as proof of payment.
