The Bango Payment API is a RESTful API: you make requests, and the Bango Platform returns responses. In some cases you might require out-of-band actions or communication from the Bango Platform, without an explicit request from your store. The Bango Platform supports this in two ways:
  • Callbacks: Automatic redirection of the user to a URL of your choosing at the end of a web-based identification or transaction flow. Bango adds query parameters to help you identify the reason for the redirection.
  • Notifications: POST requests from the Bango Platform to a URL of your choosing at the conclusion of an identification session or transaction authorization, where a web-based identification or transaction flow was used. Bango includes body parameters to help you identify the reason for the notification.
Callbacks and notifications are similar but have important differences. You can include custom query parameters in both callback URLs and notification URLs. However, some parameters are reserved: see Bango Payment / Merchant API reference / API reference overview for the details.
