Integration

For KCP, the default integration for CyberSource is through a redirect to a hosted payments page. Start by creating a new transaction with the following required fields. 
var transaction = await client.Transactions.CreateAsync(
  transactionCreate: new TransactionCreate()
  {
    Amount = 1299,
    Currency = "KRW",
    Country = "KR",
    PaymentMethod =
      TransactionCreatePaymentMethod.CreateRedirectPaymentMethodCreate(
        new RedirectPaymentMethodCreate()
        {
          Method = "kcp",
          Country = "KR",
          Currency = "KRW",
          RedirectUrl = "https://example.com/callback",
        }
      ),
  }
);
After the transaction is created, the API response includes payment_method.approval_url and the buyer_approval_pending status. 
{
  "type": "transaction",
  "id": "ea1efdd0-20f9-44d9-9b0b-0a3d71e9b625",
  "payment_method": {
    "type": "payment-method",
    "approval_url": "https://cdn.sandbox.spider.gr4vy.app/connectors/cybersource/apm.html?token=..."
  },
  "method": "kcp"
}
Redirect the buyer to the approval_url so they can complete authentication and approve the payment. After approval the buyer is redirected to the redirect_url you provided when creating the transaction. Do not rely solely on the redirect - either poll the transaction or (recommended) rely on webhooks to detect the final status (for example capture_succeeded or failure states).

​
Pending transactions

Cybersource does not support webhooks for KCP transactions yet. This means that any payment in a pending status requires a query to the Cybersource API to get the latest status. The system automatically polls for status updates.

​
Canceled transactions

The KCP sandbox allows for canceling a transaction, but on return to the server the status of the transaction is checked with Cybersource. It has been noticed that sometimes the server returns a completed status for canceled transactions, resulting in a captured status. This is likely only an issue in sandbox, and this issue has been raised with KCP and Cybersource.

Testing

Cybersource has instructions on how to test KCP.
