Hosted Payment Page
Hosted Payment Page
Genome's Hosted Payment Page (HPP) lets you accept payments without handling sensitive payment data on your own servers. You redirect your user to Genome's payment page, Genome processes the payment, and you receive a server-to-server callback with the result.
Overview
The HPP integration works in three steps:
-
Your server prepares a signed payment request and redirects the user to https://pay.genome.eu.
-
The user completes the payment on Genome's hosted page.
-
Genome sends a server-to-server callback to your configured URL with the payment result.
Before you start
Before you can open a merchant account, both your personal wallet and business wallet must be confirmed. You can verify your wallets on the my.genome.eu dashboard.
To get started with receiving the payments using Genome’s hosted payment pages, you need to:
-
Open a merchant account and submit the required data for verification.
-
Create a payment page once the merchant account is confirmed:
-
Enable the methods you want available at checkout.
-
Set the URL where Genome will send payment callbacks and define your success and decline redirect URLs.
-
(optional) Choose which customer contact details to collect during the HPP session.
-
-
Choose settlement accounts in the merchant account settings.
-
Make an integration using the following document.
-
Test your payment page using the payment page in Test mode.
-
Check that redirect URLs work correctly, and the callback data is received.
-
Once you have completed your HPP integration and tested end-to-end, return to your payment page settings and activate your payment page. Real transactions will only be processed on activated payment pages.
Hosted Payment Page session initiation
Step 1 - Derive the signing key
To derive the signing key, compute the SHA-256 hash of your API secret as raw bytes. Your API key and API secret are available in the Genome merchant dashboard under particular Payment page settings. The HMAC signing key is not your raw API secret. You must first compute its SHA-256 digest. Tokens signed with the raw secret will always be rejected.
Genome requires the HMAC key to meet a minimum length requirement regardless of how long your API secret is. Hashing it first guarantees a consistent 32-byte key for all secrets.
Step 2 - Build the JWT
Assemble your claims and sign the token using HMAC-SHA256 with the key derived in Step 1.
// Node.js — full exampleconst crypto = require('crypto');const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const apiKey = 'your_api_key';const apiSecret = 'your_payment_page_secret';
// The signing key is the SHA-256 hash of your Payment Page secret.const signingKey = crypto .createHash('sha256') .update(apiSecret) .digest();
const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
const token = jwt.sign( { // Required — identity & timing iss: apiKey, // Your API key sub: 'order-12345', // Your order or user ID iat: now, // Issued at (Unix timestamp) exp: now + 30 * 60, // Expires in 30 minutes jti: crypto.randomUUID(), // Generate a new unique ID for every token
// Required — amount VALUE_AMOUNT_ISO: 'EUR', VALUE_AMOUNT_RAW: '49.99',
// Recommended — session data VALUE_ORDER_ID: 'order-12345', VALUE_USER_ID: 'user-abc', VALUE_SUCCESS_URL: 'https://yoursite.com/payment/success', VALUE_FAILURE_URL: 'https://yoursite.com/payment/failure', VALUE_EMAIL: 'user@example.com', VALUE_FIRST_NAME: 'Jane', VALUE_LAST_NAME: 'Doe', VALUE_VERIFIED_USER: true,
// Options — control payment page display OPTION_SHOW_EMAIL: false, OPTION_ALLOW_EDIT_PRESET: true,
// Custom metadata — forwarded in callbacks custom_campaign_id: 'summer2026', }, signingKey, { algorithm: 'HS256', });Tokens are also rejected if iat is older than 30 minutes, regardless of exp.
Never build or sign the JWT in the browser - the API secret must never be exposed to your customer.
The JWT Claims References and Payment Page parameters are listed in the tables below.
Step 3 - Redirect the user
Pass the signed token as a jwt URL parameter when redirecting to the HPP:
https://pay.genome.eu?jwt=<your_signed_token>JWT Claims Reference

Deprecated - Legacy signature calculation
This integration method is deprecated. New integrations should use the JWT-based HPP session initiation described above.
Existing integrations using MODE_A_TS will continue to work during the transition period. We will provide at least 90 days' advance notice before this method is discontinued, in line with PSD2 requirements. No immediate action is required.

HPP signature calculation
The algorithm of signature calculation is explained below.
The SHA256 hash function should be applied to the string with the following format:
| Parameter name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| api_secret | YES | Your personal secret key, which you created within the Genome portal. |
| signature_mode | YES | Signature mode, right now 'MODE_A_TS' is only available for merchants. Amount with the timestamp. |

| order_id | OPTIONAL | Merchant's order id. |
| user_id | OPTIONAL | Merchant's user id. |
| mcc | OPTIONAL | MCC code. |

Callback
A callback is a server-to-server HTTP POST notification that Genome sends to your configured callback URL when a payment session reaches a terminal state or a meaningful intermediate milestone. Your callback URL is set in Payment page settings in the Genome Portal. We recommend using HTTPS for the callback URL.
Always respond with a 200 OK HTTPS response, which tells Genome that the event has been received and does not need to be resent.
The number of callbacks depends on the payment method the end user selects in your HPP.
Pay by Bank
Genome sends up to four callbacks as the payment progresses through its settlement stages:
| Event value | When it is sent |
|---|---|
| INCOMING_PAYMENT_CREATED | Sent when the end user gives consent, the payment is successfully initiated at the bank and end user returns to Genome without errors. |
| INCOMING_PLEDGE | Sent when Genome receives confirmation from external systems that funds are on their way. |
| INCOMING_SUCCESS | Sent when funds are received into the merchant's account. This is the definitive final confirmation. |
| INCOMING_DECLINE | Sent when the hosted payment page session is declined. This means that no successful transaction was initiated during the lifetime of the hosted payment page session. |
Credit/Debit Card
Card payments are synchronous. The outcome is known immediately after 3D Secure (if required) and the acquirer's response. Genome sends exactly two callbacks per completed card session:
| Event value | When it is sent |
|---|---|
| INCOMING_SUCCESS | Sent when funds are received into the merchant's account. This is the definitive final confirmation. |
| INCOMING_DECLINE | Sent when the hosted payment page session is declined. This means that no successful transaction was initiated during the lifetime of the hosted payment page session. |
Important – callbacks may arrive out of order
These callbacks may be received in any order. Each callback contains information accurate at the time it was sent. Always treat INCOMING_SUCCESS as the authoritative final confirmation - regardless of the order it arrives in - because it is the only event that confirms funds are in your account.

The transaction object contains either a bank_transfer sub-object or a credit_card sub-object - never both at the same time. Which one appears depends on the payment method:
-
OPEN_BANKING payments: bank_transfer is populated; credit_card is absent.
-
CC payments: credit_card is populated; bank_transfer is absent.
Use the top-level order.payment_method_type field (OPEN_BANKING or CC) to determine which sub-object to expect.
