Support promotion tools

To increase transactions for the merchants or Acquirers, Alipay+ provides promotion tools which can be applied by the user during the payment. Mobile Payment Provider requires to support the usage of the promotion tools. Currently the supported promotion tool provided by Alipay+ is the instant discount, which means that the discount is triggered automatically when the order amount reaches a benchmark. For example, Alipay+ supports 10 JPY discount for 100 JPY and a user places an order with the amount of 110 JPY, then the user pays 100 JPY actually.

When the promotion tools are used in the payment, Alipay+ forwards the promotion information in the payment request to Mobile Payment Provider and specifies the amount that is saved for the user in the Mobile Payment Provider's currency. All promotion information is specified by paymentPromoInfo. See Payment -> Promotion for details. After the user completes the payment, Mobile Payment Provider must display the promotion information on the payment result page in one of the following ways:

  • Mobile Payment Provider itemizes the discounts in detail.
  • Mobile Payment Provider summarizes the discounts and displays the total amount that is saved for user.
  • Mobile Payment Provider itemizes the discounts in detail and displays the total amount that is saved for user at the same time.

Note:

When the refund for a payment with promotion is initiated, the promotion refund information must be specified in the refund request by refundPromoInfo. See Refund -> Promotion for details.

Mobile Payment Provider must set the risk control mechanism for the payment with promotion. The following figure illustrates the process:
