About Computop Mobile SDK Authentication
General information about Computop Mobile SDK Authentication
This document describes the Computop SDK authentication method and the corresponding parameters for the request and the responses passed back. If a merchant develops an app of its own, this method is necessary so that secure authentication takes place via the Computop interface, independently of the app. The authentication is based on a one-off token that is exchanged between Computop and the merchant.
Further information about integration of the SDK can be found within GitHub repository at https://github.com/Computop.
Paymethods and integration
There you will find supported paymethods and details on integration.

Mobile SDK authentication process
High level process overview:
- Mobile SDK creates authentication request to merchant’s URL endpoint
- Merchant’s URL endpoint generates AuthToken and AuthLabel
- Merchant’s URL endpoint calls Computop interface with below defined parameters
- Merchant’s URL endpoint receives Computop response
- Merchant’s URL endpoint responds to Mobile SDK authentication request
For the authentication request, the merchant’s endpoint should accept a POST request with Content-Type: application/json and a JSON body like this:
{
"merchantID" : <Computop_MerchantID>
}
The Mobile SDK expects a JSON object as response from merchant’s endpoint, so merchant’s endpoint needs to create a JSON object with attributes from the response and also the generated AuthToken and AuthLabel like this:
{
"AuthToken“: <generated_token>,
"AuthLabel": <generated_label>,
“ExpiryDate”: <expiry_date_of_token>
"Description": <description_from_Computop_response>,
"Status": <status_from_Computop_response>,
"Code": <code_from_Computop_response>
}
Calling the interface
In order to register a one-off token for encryption on Computop Paygate the merchant must transmit the following parameters to Computop via a server-to-server connection. Enter the following URL to do this:
https://www.computop-paygate.com/authtoken.aspx |
Notice: For security reasons, Computop Paygate rejects all payment requests with formatting errors. Therefore, please use the correct data type for each parameter. The following table describes the encrypted payment request parameters:

pls. be prepared to receive additional parameters at any time and do not check the order of parameters the key (e.g. MerchantId, RefNr) should not be checked case-sentive
