Authorization API

  • Post authorization request to Avarda Authorization API Loan
  • Check HTTP response:
    • 201 – Credit request approved by Avarda. Continue and fulfill order on partner side.
    • 202 – Credit request requires strong auth. Redirect to Electronic ID validation.
    • 400 – Request has bad format or some of its data did not pass validation.
    • 422 – Credit request was denied.
  • If HTTP Response 202 – Strong Auth is REQUIRED:
    • Check response – if http response is 202 then electronic ID validation/strong auth is required. Response contains authoriationID and redirect url.
    • redirect user to Avarda strong auth service defined in the redirect url.
    • After electronicID validation/strong auth is successful then Avarda redirect user back to predefined partner URL with additional query parameter ?AuthorizationID=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvz.
    • Example: https://yourreturnurl.com/?authorizationId=d736dd5fea853b18a30fd2413efcab5 (opens in a new tab)
  • Partner needs to check status after redirect back from Avarda to verify credit request via api /authorization/{id}. If status approved then it is ok fulfill the order.
  • On delivery – post request to Order and charge customer.
  • If return – post request to Return and credit customer.
  • If cancel – post request to Cancel to remove credit reservation

Redirect after completed ID validation

The callback URL has a following format

https://{partner-provided-callback-url}?authorizationId={authorization-id}?orderId={orderId} – for successfully completed ID validation

https://{partner-provided-callback-url}?authorizationId={authorization-id}&orderId={orderId}&errorCode={error-code} – for failed ID validation

Error codes are following:

50: User did not complete ID validation in time – there is a 30 minutes timeout on waiting for user to complete the validation

51: User failed ID Validation with the identity provider – this is typically when the user cancel the validation on the identity provider UI or the identity provider returns another provider specific error

52: During ID validation the user authenticated with a SSN different than the one in the original credit request

53: Newer request with the same parameters arrived, processing newer one, cancelling this one – this happens if a new credit authorization request with same parameters is received while the current one is waiting for ID validation completion

As the callback can be faked the partner should treat it merely as a notification and verify the result by calling GET authorization/{authorization-id}. This will also provide the localized description of the error in addition to the error code.
