​
Integration

For PSE, the default integration for Nuvei is through a redirect to a hosted payments page. The PSE connection via Nuvei requires a few fields in the transaction request:
  • buyer.billing_details.first_name and buyer.billing_details.last_name - Customer name
  • buyer.billing_details.email_address - Customer’s email
  • connection_options.nuvei-pse.userType - Customer type (“N” for personal, “J” for a legal entity)
  • connection_options.nuvei-pse.userFisNumber - Customer’s document type
  • connection_options.nuvei-pse.fiscalNumber - Customer’s document number
  • connection_options.nuvei-pse.bankCode - The bank code of the selected bank
Start by creating a new transaction with the required fields: 
var transaction = await client.Transactions.CreateAsync(
  transactionCreate: new TransactionCreate()
  {
    Amount = 4000,
    Currency = "COP",
    Country = "CO",
    PaymentMethod =
      TransactionCreatePaymentMethod.CreateCheckoutSessionWithUrlPaymentMethodCreate(
        new RedirectPaymentMethodCreate()
        {
          Method = "pse",
          RedirectUrl = "https://example.com/callback",
        }
      ),
    Buyer = new TransactionCreateBuyer()
    {
      BillingDetails = new BillingDetails()
      {
        FirstName = "John",
        LastName = "Doe",
        EmailAddress = "john.doe@example.com"
      }
    },
    ConnectionOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>()
    {
      ["nuvei-pse"] = new Dictionary<string, string>()
      {
        ["userType"] = "N",
        ["userFisNumber"] = "CC",
        ["fiscalNumber"] = "1148217216",
        ["bankCode"] = "1022"
      }
    }
  }
);
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/nuvei/apm.html?token=..."
  },
  "method": "pse"
}
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).

​
Testing

It is recommended to use bankCode 1022 for testing. Nuvei has instructions on how to test PSE.
