Merchant API

Today, the VK command opens access to the Merchant API , which allows you to connect the VKontakte payment system to external online stores. Jovan Savovich kindly agreed to make the store “ Unimaginable! "The first platform (except for our example ), on which the payment button" VK "was installed.



You can see it in your basket after selecting a product and clicking on the link “Buy in one click”:


')
Step 1 : A payment window is opened before the user (if not authorized in “VK” - will ask to do it). The system inserts user data that has already been specified in the profile "VK". All the rest are filled once and automatically substituted on subsequent purchases in all stores.



Step 2 : Choosing a delivery method (formed by the online store):



Step 3 : Order calculation and payment confirmation:



Step 4 : For security reasons, the payment is confirmed via mobile phone:



The financial side of the issue


VKontakte does not charge any fees to stores, and especially from users. Now, from our side, there are not so many ways to replenish a ruble account (only through terminals and payment systems ). Negotiations are under way with several of the largest banks in the country. One of them will even be issued joint cards. “In a couple of months we will open our method of depositing funds with a zero commission,” says Pavel Durov.

Typically, the cost of goods online stores already laid the commission of payment systems ("Yandex. Money", credit cards, etc.). Due to the fact that “VC” does not take this money, the shops should sell goods to our users with a discount of about 1.5-2%. But this still remains on their conscience - we do not make such demands when connecting.

Connection

I publish excerpts from Andrew's correspondence with the developers "Unimaginable!". Probably, someone will have similar questions:

Victor : The technical side is clear. I would like to reveal the phrase "transfers funds to the store account." I think you have already been asked about this - have you somehow resolved issues with the return of goods and, accordingly, with the return of money?

Andrew : In the store interface there is an opportunity to get a refund for any order.

Victor : What happens to the order itself? After all, you need to return the goods first?

Andrew : The product delivers online store. We only process payment orders, input and storage of delivery data.

Victor : Oh, and our managers return money through your interface, right?

Andrew : Yes, that's right.

Victor : Gentlemen, I think that if you put a link to the Russian Post site with a base of indices in your documentation, you will have far fewer questions from the developers.

Andrew : Yes, that was what they thought. Thank.

Victor : The idea to ask stores to formulate the price of delivery on the index, in my opinion, is not the best option. Of course, discussion and analysis are behind your decision, but if officially the list of indices is available only on the Russian Post website in dbf form, this is a serious obstacle for many online stores, which will have to calculate their delivery depending on the city. I think that if you have an alternative (simplified) way of geo-targeting - it will be easier to connect to you.

Andrew : We will simplify the scheme for calculating the cost of delivery. This is the very first version, but now it allows a universal way to determine the location of the user. It makes no sense for you to use the entire index database. Take only the first 2-3 digits and determine the city by them. For example, for St. Petersburg, the index is 19 *****.

Victor : Well, it's great, only branches are opened in other cities here, you still have to parse this base. We will deal with this, of course, I just expressed wishes for the future.

Andrew : We will think about it, thank you.

PS If someone has time to connect the system until tomorrow evening, you can write to me. We will try to quickly check your store and indicate its press release on Monday along with "Unimaginable!".

Questions and errors (if any) will be tracked by comments.

Good luck!

I am not writing from my profile, because I was bombarded with excessive emotions.
