inquiryRegistrationStatusACQP → Alipay+

POST /aps/api/v1/merchants/inquiryRegistrationStatus

The inquiryRegistrationStatus API is used by the Acquiring Service Provider (ACQP) to query the merchant registration status from Alipay+.

Structure

A message consists of a header and body. The following sections are focused on the body structure. For the header structure, see:

Note:

Set the data type of each field (except array) as String. This means that you must use double quotation marks (" ") to enclose the field value. Examples:

If the data type of a field is Integer and its value is 20, set it as "20".
If the data type of a field is Boolean and its value is true, set it as "true".

For optional parameters that are not required in your case, you can:

exclude it from the request body.
set its value as null (without the double quotation marks).

Do NOT leave it empty by setting its value as ""; otherwise, an error might occur.

How to specify request parameters

The ACQP needs to specify request parameters depending on the value of the productCodes parameter in the registration API. Refer to the table below for details.

Value of productCodes	Action
Contains only `CASHIER_PAYMENT`, `AGREEMENT_PAYMENT`, or both	Take either of the following actions: Specify registrationRequestId Specify referenceMerchantId
Contains only `IN_STORE_PAYMENT`	Take either of the following actions: Specify registrationRequestId Specify referenceMerchantId and referenceStoreId
Contains `IN_STORE_PAYMENT` and at least one of `CASHIER_PAYMENT` and `AGREEMENT_PAYMENT`

Important:

registrationRequestId takes precedence over referenceMerchantId and referenceStoreId. When registrationRequestId and one or both of referenceMerchantId and referenceStoreId are specified, registrationRequestId is used.
If registrationRequestId is used to inquire, Alipay+ returns the status of the corresponding registration request.
If registrationMechantId is used to inquire, Alipay+ returns the latest status of the registration request regarding the merchant. For example, for a successful merchant registration, the value of pspRegistrationResultList.registrationResult.registrationStatus is returned as APPROVED. After that, if the registration information is updated and still in review, the value of pspRegistrationResultList.registrationResult.registrationStatus is returned as PENDING.
It is recommended to specify registrationRequestId to query the registration status regardless of payment products that the merchant support.

How to handle the result

You might receive different results from Alipay+. Follow the instructions below to handle the result.

result.resultStatus	result.resultCode	Inquiry status	Actions
`S`	`SUCCESS`	Inquiry succeeds.	N/A
`F`	Multiple possible values exist, such as `ACCESS_DENIED`, `KEY_NOT_FOUND`, etc.	Inquiry fails.	Take actions according to the result code (specified on the result.resultCode parameter). For more information, see the Result codes section below.
`U`	Multiple possible values exist, such as `UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION`, `REQUEST_TRAFFIC_EXCEED_LIMIT`, etc.	Unknown	Use the same parameters to retry the inquiryRegistrationStatus request. If you keep receiving the same result indicating the unknown status, contact connect_support@service.alipay.com.
No result received		Unknown	Use the same parameters to retry the inquiryRegistrationStatus request. If you keep receiving no result, contact connect_support@service.alipay.com.

When handling the result, note that the merchant registration at a specificMPP is successful only when:

the value of result.resultCode is SUCCESS, and
the value of pspRegistrationResultList.registrationResult.registrationStatus of the MPP is APPROVED.
