Overview

With this service, the calling apps can take customer ref and return a masked list of accounts linked to it. Apps will collect the customer ref they will like to obtain information on and forward to OnePipe. If authorisation details are required by a provider, apps will have to provide this. OnePipe will in turn forward to the provider’s dedicated implementation.

Before you proceed: Please read this.

Commercial model

At agreed settlement cycles, the host will debit the configured beneficiary account of the app for the use of this API and share that fee with all participants. Fees will be determined by the provider.

Settlement & fees model

Model	How it works
Invoice	The host client will invoice the calling app periodically for all calls to the endpoint, debit the beneficiary account of the app for service used and share with OnePipe, host, provider and ISO

Special configuration notes

OTP override: All providers of this service should implement OTP, but support the configuration of otp_override such that based on this configuration, they could be instructed to bypass the OTP requirement for an app.
SMS handler: All providers that need to do OTP validation can use the Send SMS and Send Email services on OnePipe to send their OTP.

Process flows

Sequence of calls

App calls /transact with the right auth details
Provider responds with WaitingForOTP or PendingValidation as may be required
App calls /transact/validate to supply OTP if needed
Provider responds with any of the completion codes Successful or Failed.
To query the status of a transaction, the app can call /transact/query
Where the provider supports it, the app can call /transact/reverse to request a reversal

INTERFACE SPECIFICATION (ONEPIPE → PROVIDER MICRO SERVICE)

Request payload from OnePipe to the provider microservice comes encrypted, using the Triple DES Algorithm. See details.

Read this closely.

Special notes for OTP override

Whenever a request is to be validated by OTP, the provider microservice should first call the provider, store response info in the database, send an OTP to the corresponding phone number, then respond with WaitingForOTP.
On the OTP validation phase, if user OTP is valid, provider should retrieve info from the database, then respond with a Successful response.
NB: Data should be erased from the DB.
