Build an integration
Use the APIs and SDKs that are provided by Alipay+ to integrate the following Cashier Payment functions as required:
Make a payment
To make payments to merchants, you need to take the following steps:
- Identify the code to determine whether the code can be processed by Alipay+.
- Decode and send the code value to Alipay+ by calling the userInitiatedPay API. Alipay+ then returns the order information to the Mobile Payment Provider (MPP) .
- Render and present the cashier page to the user, where the order details that are received in the previous step are displayed.
- (Optional) With the paymentRedirectURL parameter passed by Alipay+, redirect the user back to the merchant side, where the user is presented with the payment result.

Return payment results

Cancel and refund

More operations
Apart from the payment-oriented functions that are mentioned above, Alipay+ provides more services and APIs for you to manage your business.
Alipay+ provides multiple types of transaction reports to help you to perform the clearing and settlement of transactions. To streamline your business workflows, you need to develop your reconciliation function module according to the production mechanism and specification of the transaction reports.

More information
Go through the section below to obtain more information that empowers your integration:
- When using APIs to integrate, you need to take the following things into consideration:
- Make a POST request to the corresponding address with the identity information, signature, and business parameters in the HTTP request. For more information about the structure of a request and response, see API overview.
- To ensure the message transmission security, the MPP must sign the request and validate the signature properly. When calling an Alipay+ API, the MPP must sign the API request and validate the response signature accordingly; when receiving an API call from Alipay+, the MPP must validate the request signature and sign the API response accordingly.
