Redirect your customer to the multibanco:static-reference-page link’s href in the response. The customer will be redirected to a Multibanco page where they can authorize the payment, before being transferred to your predefined success or failure URL.

To retrieve details about the payment, you can use either the id found in the payment response or the cko-session-id from the success/failure URL. For example, https://www.checkout.com/order/succeeded?cko-session-id=sid_vii64oquze5u3h2x6hh4rurc4y.

Note

The cko-session-id expires 15 minutes after being created.

Multibanco supports both partial and full refunds.

You can process a full refund using the Dashboard or by using the Refund API.

If the customer fails to complete their payment within 7 days of voucher creation, we'll automatically void the payment and send a payment_expired webhook.

Leave the Pin field blank and select Make Payment.
Select Back to where you came from to be redirected to your predefined success URL.
