Introduction

Hokodo provides a set of API endpoints to facilitate Deferred Payments, also known as credit terms, or "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) for B2B platforms, such as marketplaces or e-commerce sites.

This reference documentation details how developers may use Hokodo to implement credit terms into their customer journey, from checking whether a customer can be eligible for credit terms, to submitting a customer's orders to Hokodo. Hokodo APIs are organized around REST, with predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.

Our API expects incoming data to be valid JSON objects with requests containing the header Content-Type: application/json, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

All responses of the API, including errors, are in JSON, except for some endpoints returning PDF documents, Excel files or CSV files, that will be clearly indicated as such.

You can view request/response examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch between raw representation and curl command with tabs in the top right.

The base URL of the API in the sandbox (see environments) is https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/

 API Guide

This API reference is a comprehensive description of the technical behaviour of Hokodo's BNPL API.

It is intended to be read alongside our API Guide, which should be your primary resource for integrating Hokodo's BNPL solution.

Glossary

In the document, we will use the following terms, with a specific meaning:

Organisations and Users

Because Hokodo focuses on B2B sales, the buyers on your platform will consist of Companies, who have employees, and those employees may be organised into teams or departments. Hokodo deals with this complexity through the concept of Organisations and Users.

A User is an individual employee at a company. An Organisation is a group of Users who are all able to see or take action on that company's orders on your platform. Each Organisation must be associated with a Company.

In many cases the company will just have a single Organisation, and any employees of the company (Users) will be members of that Organisation. In this case, any one of those Users will be able to see or take actions on any of the company's orders on your platform. For example, if a member of the Organisation has set up a direct debit mandate, then any other member of that Organisation can make purchases using the mandate.

In other cases (for larger companies), there may be several Organisations - perhaps one associated to each department in the company. In this case, Users can only see the orders associated with their Organisation.

Authorization

To authentify pass the correct header with each request:

GET /v1/me HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Token <your_api_key>
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/me/ \
  --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>"

Make sure to replace <your_api_key> with your API key from https://sandbox.hokodo.co.

Use your secret key in your API requests. You can manage your keys in your Developer dashboard. Be sure to keep your key secure and do not share it in publicly-accessible areas, such as GitHub, in your client-side Javascript code, etc.

Authorization to the API is done by providing the key in Authorization header preceded by Token keyword. The API key can also be provided as user with no password through HTTP Basic Auth.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP or without proper authentication will fail.

Testing the API

Please make sure to test your integration thoroughly in our sandbox before going live. After registering, you will be given your test API keys. Those are safe to use for development. When you are ready, make sure to replace those keys with live ones.

While testing, the API will not return real credit approvals and limits. If you want to simulate how well we can cover your clients, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team at support@hokodo.co.

API versioning

The BNPL API is in version v1. Your feedback is most appreciated for any improvement.

Backwards compatible changes are made regularly to improve the API. You can find the changelog in the partner dashboard.

Pagination

For example to get 10 orders starting with the 51st order:

GET /v1/payment/orders/?limit=10&offset=50 HTTP/1.1
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/orders/?limit=10&offset=50 \
  --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>"

The answer is a JSON looking like this:

{
    "count": 95,  # Total number of orders
    "next": "http://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/orders/?limit=10&offset=60",
    "previous": null,
    "results": [
        {
            ... # 51st order in the list
        },
        {
            ... # 52nd order in the list
        }
        ...
    ]
}

The API returns paginated results, for list endpoints where the response might contain many items in a large list. By default, the number of items returned is 25.

You can control the page size and position by using the query parameters limit and offset. limit controls the number of items displayed, offset the index of the first item of the list, starting from 0. The defaults if no value is passed are thus offset=0 and limit=25.

See examples on the right.

Expansion

For example let's consider the following request:

GET /v1/payment/offers/offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4 HTTP/1.1
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/offers/offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4 \
  --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>"

It's returning the following JSON response (compacted for the example):

{
    "url": "http://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/offers/offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4",
    "id": "offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4",
    "order": "order-TiehJCGZmFRkKoL8NsM3d6",
    "status": "accepted"
    ...  # Other payment offer fields
}

We can use ?expand=order for example:

GET /v1/payment/offers/offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4?expand=order HTTP/1.1
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/offers/offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4?expand=order \
  --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>"

As a response we get:

{
    "url": "http://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/offers/offer-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4",
    "id": "quo-kEFDnwu8cnkETeagWAcqF4",
    "order": {
        "id": "order-TiehJCGZmFRkKoL8NsM3d6"
        ...  # Other order fields
    },
    "status": "accepted"
    ...  # Other payment offer fields
}

The API returns some items as API identifiers. The designated resource can be expanded, meaning that the identifier is replaced in the response with a dictionary representing the resource itself. You can control which field is expanded using the query parameter expand. Expected value is a comma separated list of field names, for example ?expand=order,payment.

Note: At the moment, only read requests can use expansion. You can't use resource expansion for requests where you create and modify resources.

See examples on the right.

Environments

Test environment (aka Sandbox)

Register at: https://sandbox.hokodo.co API base URL: https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/

This is the test environment for our API clients, where you can integrate your own software with our API without consequences. It will always run the same version(s), expect the same request format and return the same response format as the production environment.

Data such as credit scores or payment offers will not be real however, and no payment is provided. Non-sensitive data, such as companies search, will be as close as possible to the production data.

Production

Apply at: https://www.hokodo.co/contact API base URL: https://api.hokodo.co/

This is the live, production environment, where:

Data formats

Countries

Requests

  • buyer countries
GET /v1/countries/debtor HTTP/1.1
curl --request GET \
    --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/countries/debtor

Response

200 Ok
Content-Type: application/json
[
  {
    "code": "GB",
    "name": "United Kingdom"
  },
  {
    "code": "FR",
    "name": "France"
  }
]

Where a country input field is required by the API, you can use either the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code or the country's name. See below on how to obtain a full list of accepted countries.

Obtain a list of valid countries for a buyer/customer.

Dates and times

When a date, or date and time field is required by the API, it is expected in ISO 8601 notation, for example:

Type Format Example
Date yyyy-mm-dd 2018-10-31
Datetime yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.ffffff 2018-10-31T16:53:00.12345
Datetime UTC yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.ffffffZ 2018-10-31T16:53:00.12345Z

For order issue and due dates for example, there is no time associated and the API expects only a date, no time nor timezone. Be careful if you are internally converting a datetime with timezone to a date, e.g. 2018-10-31T00:00:00+02:00 could become 2018-10-30T22:00:00Z when converted to UTC and then 2018-10-30 in the request to the API, which wouldn't fit the user input.

Currencies

When a currency field is used by the API, it is an ISO 4217 code, such as GBP, EUR or USD.

Amounts

When a money amount is expected or returned by the API, it is always in minor units, ie cents. For example:

Idempotent Requests

The API supports idempotent requests on a selection of endpoints for safely retrying requests without performing the operation twice.

To perform an idempotent request provide the optional Idempotency-Key: <key> header with a value that must be unique per request. If a request is repeated with the same key, it will return the same data and status code.

We recommend choosing a randomly generated string with high entropy, such as a UUID v4. This will avoid accidentally re-using the same key for different requests, resulting in an HTTP 400 error.

Example: repeating a request

Request 1

GET /v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/capture HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Token <your_api_key>
Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553

{
    "amount": 100000
}
curl --request POST \
     --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/capture \
     --header "Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553" \
     --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>" \
     --data-binary '{"amount": 100000}'

Response 1

201 CREATED
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "created": "2023-05-30T15:22:44.788858Z",
  "type": "capture",
  "amount": 100000,
  "currency": "GBP",
  "metadata": {},
  "changes": {
    "authorisation": -10000,
    "protected_captures": 10000,
    "unprotected_captures": 0,
    "refunds": 0,
    "voided_authorisation": 0,
    "expired_authorisation": 0
  }
}

Request 2

GET /v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/capture HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Token <your_api_key>
Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553

{
    "amount": 100000
}
 curl --request POST \
     --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/capture \
     --header "Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553" \
     --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>" \
     --data-binary '{"amount": 100000}'

Response 2

201 CREATED
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "created": "2023-05-30T15:22:44.788858Z",
  "type": "capture",
  "amount": 100000,
  "currency": "GBP",
  "metadata": {},
  "changes": {
    "authorisation": -10000,
    "protected_captures": 10000,
    "unprotected_captures": 0,
    "refunds": 0,
    "voided_authorisation": 0,
    "expired_authorisation": 0
  }
}

In the example on the right, the same request is made twice. Each time, the same Idempotency-Key and request body is used.

The first request will create a new capture deferred payment event for deferred payment defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp and return a 201 CREATED.

Making a second request with the same idempotency key will not create a new event. It will return the event created in the original request, with the original HTTP status code.

Example: accidental key re-use

Request 1: Different event type

GET /v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/void HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Token <your_api_key>
Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553

{
    "amount": 100000
}
 curl --request POST \
     --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/void \
     --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>" \
     --header "Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553" \
     --data-binary '{"amount": 100000}'

Response 1

400 BAD REQUEST
Content-Type: application/json
     {
       "error": "Duplicate `Idempotency-Key` [33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553] has been used to create a `capture` event, the key cannot be used to create a `void` event."
     }

Request 2: Different amount

GET /v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/capture HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Token <your_api_key>
Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553

{
    "amount": 50
}
 curl --request POST \
     --url https://api-sandbox.hokodo.co/v1/payment/deferred_payments/defpay-bqRyGIGaORKiK8bhMVPirp/capture \
     --header "Authorization: Token <your_api_key>" \
     --header "Idempotency-Key: 33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553" \
     --data-binary '{"amount": 50}'

Response 2

400 BAD REQUEST
Content-Type: application/json
     {
       "error": "Duplicate `Idempotency-Key` [33871f6b-ff2f-4de3-9e10-ff42ef7af553] cannot be used to create an event with a different `amount`."
     }

Any other use of the same key, for instance on a different endpoint with a slightly different request, will result in a 400.

In the first example on the right, we are using the same Idempotency-Key as before, but we are using it to create a void instead of a capture. The result is an HTTP 400 because this is not the same request as before.

In the second example on the right, we are using the same Idempotency-Key as before, but capturing a different amount. The result is an HTTP 400 because this is not the same request as before.

Companies

Companies represent the legal entities associated with your customers. To be able to provide accurate credit approval and limits, and payment plans, we need to properly identify the companies.

If you already store a unique company identifier such as a Companies House number (UK) or SIREN (France) then you can use our Companies endpoint to obtain the Hokodo ID for the company.

More commonly, however, merchants simply store a free text name for their customers' companies. Because there can often be many companies with similar sounding names (including different subsidiaries of the same parent), we typically recommend adopting the following process to make sure you are supplying the correct company identifiers:

  1. presenting your user with text box(es), where they can enter their company's name, and/or address, and/or registration number,
  2. using that information in our company search API, to obtain a list of companies which are potential matches to the text you supplied.
  3. asking the user to pick among the choices our company search API has returned.

Sole traders

Sole Traders represent unregistered entities associated with your customers. To be able to provide accurate credit approval, limits, and payment plans, we need to properly identify the company and the sole trader (proprietor).

Commonly, merchants store a free text name for their customers' sole trading businesses. Because there can often be many sole traders with similar sounding names, and, as unregistered businesses sole traders will generally not have a government issued unique identifier (registered companies will have a registration number for instance) we typically recommend adopting the following process to make sure you are supplying the correct information for sole traders:

  1. presenting your user with text box(es), where they can enter their owner / proprietor's name and address
  2. presenting your user with text boxes where they can enter their company's name and address
  3. using that information to create a SoleTrader on the Hokodo platform

Hokodo require both company and proprietor data to provide servers for the sole trader, without complete data Hokodo will not be able to accurately credit score the company.

By default, only certain types of companies can be offered Buy Now Pay Later by Hokodo. If a significant portion of your users are sole traders, get in touch with us to enable that function for you.

You will be able to create SoleTrader objects, which are an extension of the Company objects.

Organisations

Because Hokodo focuses on B2B sales, the buyers on your platform will consist of Companies, who have employees, and those employees may be organised into teams or departments. Hokodo deals with this complexity through the concept of Organisations and Users. A User is an individual employee at a company. An Organisation is a group of Users who are all able to see or take action on that company's orders on your platform. Each Organisation must be associated with a Company.

User roles within organisations

Users can have one of the following roles in an organisation:

Users

Users represent the individual customers on your platform. They are associated to one or multiple organisations, which themselves represent the company of these customers. A user can have different roles and permissions in each organisation.

Users not linked to an organisation cannot access orders, payment offers or deferred payments. Therefore, we suggest creating the organisation first, then create users linked to the organisation with the proper role.

Credit Limits

Depending on the customer's company, the history of their orders and repayments, Hokodo can offer them deferred payments.

There are two situations where you might want to check whether one of your customers can obtain credit.

  1. Your customer is at the checkout, and you want to check if that particular purchase is eligible for deferred payment. To do that, you use the Orders endpoint to inform Hokodo about the purchase, and the Payment Offers endpoint to check eligibility of the Order.

  2. Your customer has not decided what they want to purchase, but you may wish to proactively inform them that they will be eligible for a Deferred Payment. For example, you could display a banner at the top of the page with their credit limit or perhaps add a credit limit section to their "My Account" page. The Credit Limits endpoint is designed for this second situation.

To find out your customer's credit limit, please use the following endpoint, with the associated customer Company in the URL.

POST /v1/payment/credit_limits/company/<company_id>

You will get a response containing the following information:

The currency is optional in the request, and defaults to EUR if not provided.

It is advisable to request the credit limit in the currency used by the company in question. For example, use "currency": "GBP" when requesting the credit limit of a UK company.

Some tips regarding the credit_limit endpoint

  • Hokodo-protected credit declined, but eligible for Merchant Limit
200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{
    "company": "co-74cgmhG9U79oTWGEW4jeDW",
    "status": "eligible",
    "rejection_reason": {
      "code": "buyer-limit",
      "detail": "This invoice would exceed the limit of the value of invoices that Hokodo can insure for this company as a Buyer.",
      "params": {}
    },
    "credit_limit": {
        "currency": "GBP",
        "amount_available": 480000,
        "amount_in_use": 143456,
        "amount": 500000
    },
    "hokodo_credit_limit": {
        "currency": "GBP",
        "amount_available": null,
        "amount_in_use": 123456,
        "amount": null
    },
    "merchant_credit_limit": {
        "currency": "GBP",
        "amount_available": 480000,
        "amount_in_use": 20000,
        "amount": 500000
    }
}

Please note that in general the amount will equal amount_available plus amount_in_use.

Occasionally this will not be the case. There are two reasons this might happen:

  1. If the customer has other exposures with Hokodo (on other platforms) that have eroded some of their limit on your platform. In general we avoid this scenario by ring-fencing limits for platforms, but occasionally this is not possible (e.g. for customers with very small limits).
  2. If you are using Merchant Limits and the buyer is not eligible for a hokodo_credit_limit, but still has some merchant_credit_limit left. In this case, the amount_in_use may include some Hokodo-protected amount owed from before, whereas amount and amount_available refer to the amounts available now, i.e. the Merchant Limit in this case.

"status" vs. "rejection_reason": which to check

The "status" field represents whether the buyer is eligible for payment terms with Hokodo-protected credit and/or a Merchant Limit.

In the case that a buyer is declined for Hokodo-protected credit, but eligible under a Merchant Limit, they will have "status": "eligible", but a non-null rejection_reason. This shows that they can get payment terms, but also allows you to see why they are rejected for Hokodo-protected credit.

Credit Limits (Legacy)

Depending on the customer's company, the history of their orders and repayments, Hokodo can offer them deferred payments.

There are two situations where you might want to check whether one of your customers can obtain credit.

  1. Your customer is at the checkout, and you want to check if that particular purchase is eligible for deferred payment. To do that, you use the Orders endpoint to inform Hokodo about the purchase, and the Payment Offers endpoint to check eligibility of the Order.

  2. Your customer has not decided what they want to purchase, but you may wish to proactively inform them that they will be eligible for Deferred Payment. For example, you could display a banner at the top of the page with their credit limit or perhaps add a credit limit section to their "My Account" page. The CreditLimit endpoint is designed for this second situation.

To find out your customer's credit limit, please use the following endpoint, with the associated customer Company in the URL.

GET /v1/payment/credit_limits/company/<company_id>

You will get one of the two possible responses:

Merchant Limits

Hokodo allows you to top-up your buyer's credit limit at your own risk. You do this by setting limits for specific buyers, called Merchant Limits. These are your limits for the buyers.

Merchant Limits apply on top of the Hokodo credit limit. A buyer with a Hokodo credit limit of €400 and a Merchant Limit of €200 can borrow €600 in total.

Funds lent using Merchant Limits are still financed by Hokodo, and we still attempt to recover non-payment from the buyer using our collections process. Any non-payment that cannot be recovered is subtracted from your Payouts.

There are two kinds of Merchant Limits:

The limit applied to a particular buyer is determined in the following order of precedence:

  1. The per-buyer limit for this buyer, if one exists.
  2. The default limit, if one exists.
  3. If neither is set, the limit is 0.

Merchant Limit object

{
  "currency": "GBP",
  "limits": {
    "GBP": 200000,
    "EUR": 227946,
    "USD": 263710
  },
  "is_active": true
}
field type description

limits dictionary Total limits, provided in various currencies
limits["GBP"] int Total limit expressed in GBP, in minor units (pence)
limits["EUR"] int Total limit expressed in EUR, in minor units (cents)
limits["USD"] int Total limit expressed in USD, in minor units (cents)
is_active boolean If false, this limit does not apply

Limits are set in one particular currency, determined by the currency field. The entries in limits are converted from that currency using Hokodo's exchange rates, to allow you to know the exact limit applied in each currency.

Per-buyer endpoints

Default limits endpoints

Default Merchant Limits are set and retrieved separately from the per-buyer limits.

Get merchant limit

If no Merchant Limit has been set, this endpoint returns an HTTP 404 status code.

Delete a merchant limit

In order to delete a merchant limit, make a DELETE request to the per-buyer or default limit endpoint.

Deleting a limit has the same effect as setting "is_active": false, but the record of the limit will also be removed. Subsequent GET requests to this endpoint will return an HTTP 404 status code.

Billing Accounts

If the order frequency is above 5 or 10 transactions per buyer per month, we would recommend Billing Accounts for your Buyers. Billing Accounts govern the generation of Statements of Account. Statements of account list all the Captures and Refunds from a given period.

This encourages buyers to pay Statements rather than the individual invoices. That way, buyers only need to reconcile one bank statement line item with the Hokodo Statement for the month’s business, rather than reconcile many bank line items with many invoices. We also provide a .csv file along with the statement files so that buyers can reconcile the Statement contents with their own systems.

Billing account endpoints

There are also endpoints to get the Billing Accounts for a particular Company or Organisation:

Orders

An order describes an instance of buying or selling something on your platform. An order consists of a basket of order items, plus details about the company making the purchase. Orders can be paid for at the time of the order or benefit from credit terms.

Orders serve two purposes in an integration with Hokodo:

a) Orders can be used to inform Hokodo about purchases the customer has made on your platform which Hokodo was not involved in. For example, you may have given the customer trade credit in the past, which has been successfully settled. Or the customer may have made purchases which were settled upfront (e.g. paid by card). Both of these are indicators which enhance our confidence that this is a genuine client and are favourable risk indicators. So providing Hokodo with data on these orders helps us to assess the customer's creditworthiness and to set the right credit limits for them.

b) You will also create an order when a customer shops on your platform so that you can obtain Deferred Payment Offers from Hokodo.

As we explain below, there are some commonalities between use cases a) and b) – for example in both cases we need to know who the buyer was, the value of the order, the date of the order etc. But there are also some differences. For example when you inform us about historical orders, you would tell us what payment terms were involved, whereas when you create an order for the purposes of getting deferred payment offers, Hokodo will be determining the payment terms via the offers we return.

Having more of the orders of the customers allows us to provide finer and higher credit limits, as well as reduce fraud.

Order status

The order status must be one of:

On draft orders

Draft order status can be used for orders that the user has not yet committed to, e.g. they put something in their cart but did not yet complete the checkout. If the customer goes on to pay via a payment method other than Hokodo Deferred Payment (e.g. they pay by card) then you should amend the order status to paid. In this case the paid order becomes part of the payment history that Hokodo can take into account when assessing this customer for Deferred Payment in the future.

If the customer abandons the checkout and so never completes the purchase, then the order will remain in draft status, and so we will know not to include it in any analysis of the customer's historical payment behaviour.

If the customer ends up completing the purchase using a Hokodo Deferred Payment, then we will automatically move the status to unpaid, and ultimately to paid.

(Deprecated) Payment method

The pay_method must be one of:

Please contact us to add more payment methods for purchases not made via Hokodo, to match closely your platform. This information helps us to provide finer and higher credit limits.

Guest users / registered users

Hokodo needs to identify the customer and their company to be able to provide deferred payments, whether they are a registered and logged-in user on your platform, or they are a guest user making a single purchase.

Both cases require a User and Organisation. For registered users, this will be a one-time creation. For guests users, you can re-use a User and Organisation you have already created, or create a fresh one each time.

This flow will work the same for both guest users and registered users:

  1. Create User with the email address of the user (which may be an unverified email address for guest customers)

  2. User uniqueness on Hokodo's side is based on email address. If we detect that they have already been registered as a User on your platform, Hokodo API will return the existing user and identifier, complete with links to Organisation and Company saved before.

  3. If no organisation was linked to the user, or they wish to link a different one, search and identify the company via company search.

  4. Create the Organisation linked to that Company.

  5. Attach the User to the Organisation.

Registered user

If the customer is a registered user on your platform, you should create or have created an Organisation (to represent their team / company), and a User (to represent the individuals within that team / company). Then, use that organisation and user in the customer field of the Order.

Registered user

{
  "customer": {
    "organisation": "...",
    "user": "...",
    "type": "registered",
    "delivery_address": {
      "...": "..."
    }
  }
}

Guest user

If the customer is a guest user, and has not registered on your platform, you should collect some information to help us identify the customer, and create a User and Organisation in the same way as for registered user. When you create the User object, Hokodo may return an existing User object, if you had previously created a User with the same email address. In that case, it may also have the correct Organisation filled in already.

Guest user

{
  "customer": {
    "organisation": "...",
    "user": "...",
    "type": "guest",
    "delivery_address": {
      "...": "..."
    }
  }
}

  "region": "",
  "postcode": "SE11 6NQ",
  "country": "GB",

  "email": ""
}

The fields used in addresses are:

company_name string optional (for delivery) Name of the company for delivery if it differs from the legal entity's name
address_line1 string required Line 1 of the address
address_line2 string optional Line 2 of the address

Historic Orders

When you supply information on Orders for the purposes of informing Hokodo about a customer's payment history, you are able to amend those orders freely, or even delete them using the Delete Order endpoint.

Orders with a PaymentOffer

Once you request a PaymentOffer for an Order, any subsequent changes made to the Order will automatically expire the PaymentOffer.

Note: You can still amend the following fields unique_id, metadata, po_number as they don't affect the terms of the PaymentOffer.

Orders with a DeferredPayment

Once the customer purchases a DeferredPayment, the underlying Order can no longer be amended using the Order's endpoint, with the following exception: unique_id. Instead, you must use the dedicated endpoints for dealing with Cancellations, Refunds/Discounts and Returns, which are described in the post-sale Order actions section.

Order Documents

OrderDocuments are documents such as an invoice, credit note, or a shipping document associated with a particular order.

Invoices

Invoices are normally sent by the merchant to the customer at the time of delivery. Hokodo need these invoices to support the collections process, because it is very common for customers to ask for the invoice to be re-sent to them before they make payment. Therefore, once the merchant generates the invoice, it should also be shared with Hokodo using this endpoint.

Credit Notes

Credit notes are sent by the merchant to the customer whenever a post-sale action such as a discount or return is applied to an order. If you issue credit notes when processing discounts or returns, you can save your operations team a significant amount of time by uploading the credit note to Hokodo using this endpoint at the time they are raised. This allows Hokodo to respond to the customer and resolve any queries without the need to liaise with your operations team.

Shipping documents

Shipping documents are documents associated with delivery, such as a copy of the delivery confirmation signed by the recipient. These documents are useful should there be any disputes about whether delivery occurred. If merchants are routinely capturing delivery confirmation documents, then systematically sharing these with Hokodo using this endpoint will save on operational hassle for Hokodo and the merchant if/when they are ever needed.

Other

Other can be used for any other documents that the merchant wishes to share with Hokodo

Values of all amounts above from authorisation to expired_authorisation are guaranteed to sum to a constant amount, equal to the order total amount. See next section about post-sale actions for more details on how these amounts can change.

The amount that has been captured (and not refunded) is split between protected_captures and unprotected_captures. All captures will be protected_captures up to the protected_amount of the Payment Plan. For details on the difference between these two types of capture, see Protected Captures vs. Unprotected Captures.

Rejection reason

Possible reasons for rejection:

Deferred Payment status

When it is created, the deferred payment status can be one of:

code description
accepted the payment has been accepted
pending_review the payment is pending manual review by Hokodo, you will be notified of the result
customer_action_required more information is required by the customer (e.g. upload KYC documents)
rejected the payment has been rejected by Hokodo

After that, dependent upon the post sale API version in use, the deferred payment status can become one of:

code description post sale version
part_fulfilled the payment has been partially fulfilled, and there is more to be fulfilled v1
fulfilled the payment has been fulfilled (partially or all), and there is nothing left to fulfil v1
reversed the payment might have been fulfilled, but everything has been returned and there is nothing left to fulfil v1
cancelled no fulfilment has been attempted, the payment has been entirely cancelled v1
part_captured the payment has been partially captured, and there is some authorisation remaining v2
captured the payment has been captured (partially or fully), and there is no authorisation remaining v2
refunded the payment might have been captured, but everything has been refunded and there is no authorisation left v2
voided no capture has been attempted, the payment has been entirely voided v2
expired the payment has expired before anything had been captured v2

Retrieve an existing Deferred Payment object.

Post Sale actions

After the deferred payment has been created, you must use the post-sale endpoints to inform Hokodo about order completion (usually shipment) and other events happening after the sale process.

In terms of API objects: to complete the checkout, the buyer accepts a PaymentOffer and a DeferredPayment is created. The post-sale endpoints relate to that particular DeferredPayment, and make modifications to notify Hokodo of how much of the Order the buyer should be charged for.

These will not all be necessary for every order. The base flow would be:

  1. Create the Order.
  2. Request the PaymentOffer.
  3. The customer accepts one of the payment plans and confirms the order.
  4. You ask us to capture an amount from the customer equal to the value of goods shipped.
  5. Hokodo generates a payout to you according to schedule.
  6. Hokodo records that customer shall repay that amount later, based upon the customer's payment plan.

Each event is to be interpreted as an accounting entry moving money from an account to another. Because of that following conditions are guaranteed:

Events of type expiry are equivalent to void events but are created automatically by Hokodo after some time define in your contract. This exists to ensure that authorisation is eventually freed for your customer to continue using Hokodo's BNPL solution.

Events of type adjustment might be created by Hokodo operations to help you tidy up bookkeeping in case of mistakes or to handle corner cases. These should however be rare to best enjoy the power of the API.

You may want to notify Hokodo that a specific event relates to an individual supplier or is related to a specific item. You might also want to record the tracking number of the shipment. The metadata field can be used to record any of this information for future use. Data in this metadata field can be included in the payout information we send to you to ease reconciliation.

Post Sale API supports idempotent requests, detailed in the section on Idempotent requests.

Notifies Hokodo that goods have been shipped or services provided to the customer. The given amount of money is now due by the customer on top of what had already been captured before. Money is moved from authorisation to protected_captures first and possibly unprotected_captures.

It is important to notify Hokodo when the order is shipped because this is the trigger for Hokodo to make a payment to you and is the value that we will charge the customer according to the agreed payment plan. This endpoint is usually called when the package has been handed over to the carrier or the customer given access to services. Make sure that your fulfilment department, or external fulfilment partner, has access to the API. If the order is sent out by multiple shipments, you should make a request for each shipment.

Protected Captures vs. Unprotected Captures

The amount that has been captured (and not refunded) is split between the protected_captures and unprotected_captures fields.

All captures will be protected_captures up to the protected_amount of the Payment Plan. There are two ways to get unprotected_captures:

  1. If you have the Merchant Limits feature enabled, you may have an unprotected_amount on your Payment Plan. In this case, any captures above the protected_amount will appear as unprotected_captures. The Deferred Payment's authorisation includes both the protected and unprotected part.
  2. If you have the Overcaptures feature enabled, any captures above the Deferred Payment's authorisation will be taken as unprotected_captures. The Deferred Payment's authorisation will become negative.

Constraints

Capture data must contain an amount and can include metadata.

The value of amount should be the cost of the goods that have been captured at this time, including any tax or shipment fee:

You will receive an HTTP error 400 in case these conditions aren't met.

Notifies Hokodo that a customer has been refunded goods or services or and that we should charge less than previously told.

You should use this endpoint when a customer returns goods or you want to reduce the captured amount for any other reason (like applying an immediate discount as a gesture of good will). A refund can be any value up to the amount that has been previously captured using v1/payment/deferred_payment/<deferred_payment_id>/capture.

Note that any amount previously captured above the authorisation and counted toward unprotected_captures is refunded first so that as much as possible of the amount due buy the buyer is insured against non-payment.

Constraints

Refund data must contain an amount and can include metadata.

The value of amount should be how much you wish to refund to the customer:

Notifies Hokodo that a part of the order has been cancelled and you don't intend on capturing some of the initial authorisation. The purpose of this is to release part or all of the buyers remaining authorisation with Hokodo and thus increase their credit limit.

Constraints

Void data must contain an amount and can include metadata.

The value of amount should be how much you wish to cancel from the order and not charge the customer:

You will receive an HTTP error 400 in case these conditions aren't met.

Post-sale Order actions (Legacy)

After a PaymentOffer has been accepted by the customer, you will need to use the following endpoints to make modifications to the Order.

These will not all be necessary for every order. The base flow would be:

  1. Create the Order.
  2. Request the PaymentOffer.
  3. The customer accepts one of the payment plans and confirms the order.
  4. You mark the order as fulfilled as you ship it.
  5. Hokodo sends you the money immediately.
  6. The customer pays Hokodo later.

Fulfillment refers to the process of shipping the goods to the customer, or providing them with the service they have purchased. It is important that you notify Hokodo when fulfillment occurs since this is the trigger for our payment to you. This endpoint is usually called when the package has been handed over to the logistics carrier. Hint: Make sure that your fulfillment department (or external partner) has access to the API. Often, this requires some planning ahead.

Fulfillment information must include date and all items that have actually been delivered to the customer in the format similar to the list of items in the Order.

You can either ship the full order or only parts of the order. In case you initially only ship parts of the order:

field type flags description
items list required The list of items that got shipped, each with the fields described below
item_id string required Your identifier for this line of the order, e.g. 1, 2, 3...
quantity decimal required Number of items shipped
total_amount int required Total amount including tax of the items that shipped, in minor units (cents)
tax_amount int required Total amount of the taxes of the items that shipped, in minor units (cents)
shipping_id string optional Tracking id of the shipping provider
shipping_provider string optional Name of the shipping provider

Errors

errors description
404 the order_id is probably invalid, the order has not been found
400 a required field is missing or some of the fields have incorrect value

If a customer files a complaint, but does not return any items, and you want to refund some of the money, you can send us an unspecified refund or discount.

This refund or discount becomes a new line of the Order.

Disputes

If a customer files a complaint on a shipped order, and you can’t settle the dispute in a timely manner, we need to make sure, that we don’t debit the customer before the dispute is resolved. For that reason you need to send us a dispute notification, that then needs to be lifted once the dispute has been resolved.

As a result of an accepted dispute notification Hokodo will refrain from debiting the customer until the dispute has been actively resolved.

Note: If we already paid you, we will hold back the disputed sum from your next merchant payment until the dispute is resolved.

This endpoint is not available yet.

Payouts

A Payout represents a payment made from Hokodo to your bank account. It consists of the amount, date, and currency of the payout, as well as a list of individual Order changes and adjustments which were used to calculate the payout amount.

To facilitate cash reconciliation, each Payout object includes a unique payout reference id which can be found on your bank statement.

Calculating the payout amount

The final payout amount takes a number of factors into account:

Minimum account balance

Your Hokodo account contains two minimum account balance parameters:

When calculating the amount for an upcoming payout, Hokodo will compute your current minimum account balance min_balance[actual]. This is the maximum of your fixed or relative minimum account balance. Hokodo may withhold a number of PayoutItems needed to maintain this balance. The total amount of the withheld Payout items is stored in the Payout's min_balance[withheld_amount] field.

Adjustment amount

The Adjustment amount can be positive or negative.

Adjustment type

An adjustment can have one of the following types:

status description
balancing_item this is only used if adjustments are needed between successive payouts. Balancing items should always offset with items in preceding or subsequent months such that they should sum to zero
minimum_fee adjustment required if monthly transaction volumes don't achieve minimum fee
credit_review_fee fee for any credit reviews
balance_carried_to_next_payout amount carried over to next payout
balance_carried_from_last_payout amount carried over from last payout
fee_discount applied when any fees are waived
fx_fee fee incurred if any currency conversions are required as part of the payout
other

When you want to search for a specific set of PayoutItems (e.g. all PayoutItems attached to a specific Order), the query params below can be applied to the PayoutItems endpoint.

param type description
order_id string(uuid) API identifier for the Order
order_unique_id string(uuid) Unique identifier of the order on your platform
start_date date Include payouts made to your account on or after this date.
end_date date Include payouts made to your account on or before this date.

Webhooks / Notifications / Callbacks

Hokodo uses webhooks to notify your application when an event happens in your account. For example, when one of your customers has their deferred payment application approved.

Webhooks allow you to avoid polling and instead receive notifications when changes related to an Order, Offer or DeferredPayment object occur.

The webhook payload will include a full Order object.

field type description
created string Time the notification was sent (e.g. 2021-01-01T12:00:00Z)
data dictionary Dictionary containing the Order object
data[order] dictionary The Order object

The Order object will have the following fields expanded(if available):

Events

You will receive a notification when any of the following events occur:

Please note that the payload for all of the events will contain the latest version of the Order object with the expanded fields (if available) as described above.

Getting Started

1. Select Integration Option

Depending on your use-case Hokodo can configure your account so that all notifications will be sent to the same webhook. Alternatively, when you create an Offer you can include a notification url in the request, and we'll send all notifications related to that specific Offer to this url. Changes to related objects such as the underlying Order or a DeferredPayment will also be sent to this url.

If you prefer the first option please let us know at support@hokodo.co and we will be happy to configure your account.

No additional setup is required if you prefer the second option. Note, if you do select this option, you won't receive any notifications about Order changes until you create an Offer.

2. Secure Your Webhook (optional)

For enhanced security, Hokodo can include an authentication string in the Authorization header of all notifications. If you're interested in this option please let us know at support@hokodo.co

Notes

  1. Your endpoint must be using HTTPS.

  2. In production, our API will verify the validity of the HTTPS certificate. In sandbox, you can use a self-signed certificate.

  3. Our API will send a POST request, with the content of the Order in the POST request body as JSON.

  4. Our API expects a 2xx status code from your endpoint for a successful response.

  5. Our API will retry up to 3 times if it can't connect successfully to your endpoint. It will wait 0, 2, and 4 seconds respectively before the 1st, 2nd and 3rd retry.

Error codes

The Hokodo API uses the following error codes:

Error Code Meaning
400 Bad Request -- Your request is invalid.
401 Unauthorized -- Your API key is wrong.
403 Forbidden -- The requested function is not available for your account.
404 Not Found -- The specified object could not be found.
405 Method Not Allowed -- You tried to access an object with an invalid method.
409 Conflict -- The requested action conflicts with the current state of the object.
500 Internal Server Error -- We had a problem with our server. Try again later.
503 Service Unavailable -- We're temporarily offline for maintenance. Please try again later.

Testing in sandbox

Bypass underwriting engine

To facilitate testing in Sandbox, you can bypass the underwriting engine to create Offers with specific statuses and so test their behaviour in your checkout. This bypasses our Underwriting engine, which determines the Offer status.

To create an Offer with a specific status, you need to create a User with an email corresponding to a specific pattern, and use that User to create your order. For example, if you would like to test an Offer that is rejected during underwriting, set the User email to myuser+paymentplan_declined@mail.com.

Searched pattern Payment Plan Status Example
paymentplan_offered offered sandrine_bouchon+paymentplan_offered@yourdomain.com
paymentplan_declined declined gerard_colins+paymentplan_declined@yourdomain.com
paymentplan_partly_offered one offered, the others declined gerard_colins+paymentplan_partly_offered@yourdomain.com

Bypass fraud engine

To facilitate testing in Sandbox, you can create DeferredPayments with specific statuses and so test their behaviour in your checkout. This bypasses our fraud engine, which determines the DeferredPayment status.

To create a DeferredPayment with a specific status, you need to create a User with an email corresponding to a specific pattern, and use that User to create your order. For example, if you would like to test a DP with an accepted status, set the User email to myuser_dp_fraud_accepted@yourdomain.com.

Searched pattern Deferred Payment Status Example
dp_fraud_accepted accepted sandrine_bouchon+dp_fraud_accepted@yourdomain.com
dp_fraud_rejected rejected gerard_colins+dp_fraud_rejected@yourdomain.com
dp_fraud_customer_action_required customer_action_required dp_fraud_customer_action_required_fatou_ndial@yourdomain.com
dp_fraud_pending_review pending_review kevin_fischer+dp_fraud_pending_review@yourdomain.com

Combine underwriting and fraud pattern

You can combine both patterns to test different combinations of Offer and DeferredPayment status. For example:

Searched pattern Payment Plan Status Deferred Payment Status
paymentplan_offered_dp_fraud_accepted offered accepted
paymentplan_offered_dp_fraud_rejected offered rejected
paymentplan_declined_dp_fraud_accepted declined never get to fraud detection
paymentplan_partly_offered_dp_fraud_pending_review one offered, the others declined pending_review

If the offer is declined, you cannot create a Deferred Payment.

Important note

If two different fraud or payment plan status are found (dp_fraud_accepted_dp_fraud_rejected@mail.com), the first match is taken.

When testing from sandbox, we are sending emails, to properly test:
