The purpose of this document is to explain the Conecs means of payment integration into Sherlock's.
Who does this document target?
This document is intended to help you implement the Conecs means of payment on your e-commerce site.
It includes:
- functional information for you
- implementation instructions for your technical team
To get an overview of the Sherlock's solution, we advise you to consult the following documents:

Understanding Conecs payments with Sherlock's
General principles
Sherlock's offers the Conecs prepaid means of payment :
To pay with Conecs:
- the customer fills in the dematerialised restaurant voucher data.
- if the voucher does not cover the total amount of the basket, the customer pays the complement with their credit card.
The payment with CB complement is subject to a 3-D Secure payment process. If the card complement is not accepted or the 3-D Secure authentication is not successful, the entire transaction is cancelled and the amount of the restaurant voucher is not consumed.

Payment pages
The customer selects the Conecs means of payment.
They are then redirected to the page to enter the information of their dematerialised restaurant voucher:
If the amount of their restaurant voucher is not sufficient, a CB complement is requested.
The payment ticket is displayed, then the customer returns to your website.
Payment review
During the payment kinematics, it is possible that we don't receive the expected return (timeout), the status of the transaction can be one of the followings.
- TO_CONFIRM_CAPTURE
- TO_CONFIRM_CREDIT
A batch processing is carried out daily to update these transactions to final statuses:
- REFUSED
- CAPTURED
- CREDITED
The diagram of the Making a payment paragraph illustrates these statuses as well as the transitions.
The final status will appear in your transaction report to allow you to continue processing the order.
Signing your Conecs acceptance contract
In order to offer the Conecs means of payment on your website, you have to sign a Sherlock's contract.
Making a Conecs payment
Sherlock's offers you two solutions to integrate the Conecs means of payment:
- Sherlock’s Paypage which directly acts as the payment interface with customers via their web browser.
- Sherlock’s Office which gives you the opportunity to display your payment pages and works through a server-to-server dialog.
The remittance modes available for a Conecs transaction are:
- Cancellation mode: default mode allowing transaction remittance on a predefined date, called capture delay. When this capture delay is reached, the remittance is sent automatically. This delay is set via the captureDay field with its 0 default value (end-of-day payment).
- Validation mode: you must validate the transaction to trigger the remittance. A capture delay must also be defined. When this capture delay is reached or exceeded, you will not be able to validate the transaction, which will therefore expire automatically.
- Immediate mode: the authorisation and remittance are executed online simultaneously.
The diagram below explains the different transaction statuses according to the chosen capture mode:
Making a Conecs payment with Sherlock’s Paypage
The payment process for Sherlock’s Paypage is described below:
Setting the payment request
The following fields have a particular behaviour:
Field name | Remarks/rules |
---|---|
captureDay | The value sent in the request must be 6 at a maximum. A
larger value will be forced to 6. |
paymentPattern | Tհe value sent in the request is ignored. The payment
type is forced to ONE_SHOT. |
orderId | Mandatory |
customerContact.email | Mandatory |
Analysing the response
The following table summarises the different response cases to be processed:
Status | Response fields | Action to take |
---|---|---|
Payment accepted | acquirerResponseCode = 00
authorisationId = (cf. the
Data Dictionary).paymentMeanBrand = CONECSpaymentMeanType =
PROVIDERresponseCode =
00 |
You can deliver the order. |
Pending transaction | acquirerResponseCode = (cf.
the Data Dictionary).responseCode =
60 |
The transaction is still being
processed. You will receive a new response with a final status
in 30 minutes. |
Acquirer refusal | acquirerResponseCode = (cf.
the Data Dictionary).responseCode =
05 |
The authorisation is refused for a reason unrelated to
fraud. If you have not opted for the "new payment attempt"
option (please read the Functionality
set-up Guide for more details), you can suggest that your
customer pay with another means of payment by generating a new
request. |
Refusal due to the number of attempts reached | responseCode = 75 |
The customer has made several attempts that have all failed. |
Refusal due to a technical issue | acquirerResponseCode = 90-98
responseCode = 90,
99 |
Temporary technical issue when processing the transaction. Suggest that your customer redo a payment later. |
For the complete response codes (responseCode
) and acquirer response
codes (acquirerResponseCode
), please refer
to the Data dictionary.

00 messageVersion = message
version retrieved in response to the payment
initialisation.responseCode =

initialisation.redirectionUrl = redirection
URL to the mean of payment website. |
Redirect the customer to redirectionUrl . |
Payment initialisation rejected | responseCode = <>
00 |
See the field errorFieldName , then fix the
request.If the problem persists, contact the technical

) and acquirer response
codes (acquirerResponseCode
), please refer
to the Data dictionary.
Redirecting the customer to their online banking website
The customer must be redirected to the redirectionUrl URL provided in response to the paymentProviderInitialize method. This redirection consists in making a POST call on the redirectionUrl URL received in response to the payment initialisation. The POST settings to be transmitted are redirectionData and messageVersion also received in the response to the payment initialisation.
At the end of the payment process, the customer is redirected to the URL provided in the merchantReturnUrl initialisation request. The following fields are sent in POST and must be retrieved to finalise the payment.
Field name | Remarks/rules |
---|---|
responseCode | Redirection processing response code |
redirectionData | Redirection data retrieved in response to the payment initialisation. |
messageVersion | Message version retrieved in response to the payment initialisation. |
amount | Transaction amount in cents |
merchantId | Shop identifier |
transactionReference | Transaction reference |
transactionId | Transaction identifier |
transactionDate | Transaction date |
Finalising a payment (PaymentProviderFinalize)
This last step allows you to obtain the payment status. The settings obtained during the redirection after the payment process on the means of payment website are to be transmitted during this call. The method used to finalise a payment is paymentProviderFinalize.
Payment finalisation request
You must provide the following specific fields in the finalisation request for a payment CONECS.
Field name | Remarks/rules |
---|---|
redirectionData | Redirection data retrieved after the customer returns to your website (cf. Redirecting the customer to their online banking website). |
