Operational limitations :

These are the operational limitations of this PSD2 API in the version 1.0 :

• Can be used for all Banques Populaires.
• Only apply to active payment accounts that are accessible online (cf. PSD2 Directive texts)

• Only handles single payment initiation requests in € euro (SCTCORE immediate or differed)
• Only the methods POST /paymentRequest and GET/paymentRequest are available.
• The PUT /paymentRequest method will be available later (see "Roadmap" use case).
• The POST /paymentRequestConfirmation method will be implemented with STET standard v1.4.2.17.

From test to live data :

According to PDS2 regulation, the data set available thru this dev portal, Try-it mode and sandbox are based on fictive data (or non-real ones).These data are described in the use case "Test our API".

In order to access to live data, you will need to request for a GO Live thru the 89C3 API portal after testing your app using Try-it and Sandbox environments as described below : 

Refer to Art. 30 (5). Account servicing payment service providers shall make available a testing facility, including support, for connection and functional testing to enable authorised payment initiation service providers, payment service providers issuing card-based payment instruments and account information service providers, or payment service providers that have applied for the relevant authorisation, to test their software and applications used for offering a payment service to users.

Only one TPP app can be declared so far per OID (= client_Id) knowing that it is possible to :

• apply white-labelled partnerships as well as third parties models.
• declare many sets of certificats (and redirect URL)

Please note that a weekly slot is reserved for a programmed maintenance (all IT infrastructure incl'd backends and API gateways) Monday morning from 02:00am to 06:00 am), and could generate some perturbations during this period . 

For live operations, the parameter "bankcode" will allow you to setup the right customer database thru a dedicated « endpoint » for each bank using the following format www.<bankcode>.live.api.89c3.com or

• www.<bankcode>.live.banquepopulaire.fr aligned on direct access domain name www.banquepopulaire.fr
