Payouts Integration Testing

As part of the process of getting you enabled in production, we require end to end testing on Payout API, retrieving Payout statuses, Webhook integration and notifications to ensure that your integration works.

Payout API Tests

❗

Please note:

• The tests for both the Mock and Payout API must be completed in staging in order to get Ozow technical sign off
• Please note there is no real movement of funds in the staging environment.
• Whatever float top-ups are done will be refunded once the testing process is completed.
• Please note RTC Payments are not available in the staging environment. (default this value to false)
• Payouts submitted in this environment will only be updated the next business day following successful / unsuccessful processing if submitted before 15:45 hrs on weekdays.
• Once all of these tests have been performed we will give technical sign-off on our side and configure the Production environment for your integration

The following scenario need to be tested:

{baseUrl}/requestpayout

Simulation records in Mock API

{baseUrl}/requestpayout (mock endpoint)

Reference: https://hub.ozow.com/docs/check-payout-status-using-api#testconfigurationmodel

TestConfigurationModel

To test the different outcomes a payout request may have, a merchant will be required to configure the various outcomes that a payout request may incur based on the setting configured. Below are the two API calls that provide the Get and Set methods for access to changing the TestConfigurationModel.

---

Get configuration

{baseUrl}/gettestconfiguration?siteCode={siteCode}

When this method is called, the required parameter is the SiteCode of the merchant that returns the state of the configuration set by the merchant. This method can return a null object or return the current settings set for the merchant site. A null reference means the merchant has not yet set a test configuration setting.

Response model: refer to table below

---

Set configuration

{baseUrl}/settestconfiguration

When this method is called, the merchant sets new settings or updates the current settings that will impact the result set to expect when a payout request is made. The purpose of this method is to mock the outcome of the payouts, marking the given fields as true in order to produce an expected outcome in the process of making a payout.

🚧

Constraint:

A valid method call only happens when one field is set to true. This prevents the expected outcome from only generating a response for one instance at a time. If all fields are marked as false for the test configuration model, the mock outcome will be the default payout request and a complete payout request journey will be undertaken.

🚧

Important

Add the SiteCode and ApiKey as headers for each request.
