How to create QR Code with API in test mode? – Xendit Guide

Below are the steps on how to create QR Code via API in test mode:

1. Create secret API Key on your dashboard in test mode
Reference can be found in this doc.

2. Set your test callback URL in Dashboard - Settings - Callbacks in QR code paid & refunded and make sure upon "test and save" it returns 2XX

3. Create QR Code API using endpoint:

POST https://api.xendit.co/qr_codes

4. Input you secret API key in Authorization

5. In Headers please input below on this section:
KEY: api-version

VALUE: 2022-07-31

6. In Body request, you can use these parameters as sample:

{
"reference_id": "testing_id_1669118631",
"type": "DYNAMIC",
"currency": "IDR",
"amount": 1000
}

7. Click send and you will get a response afterwards:

{
"reference_id": "testing_id_1669118631",
"type": "DYNAMIC",
"currency": "IDR",
"channel_code": "ID_LINKAJA",
"amount": 1000,
"expires_at": null,
"description": "",
"metadata": null,
"business_id": "6253abec9547485c4a838dbe",
"created": "2022-11-22T12:03:53.627576Z",
"updated": "2022-11-22T12:03:53.627576Z",
"qr_string": "some-random-qr-string",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"id": "qr_9bd909fd-422a-4a43-bd49-958edf383f6d"
}

Once done creating successfully as you got the response above, it is expected you won't see any QR Generated in the QR Code Tab in your test mode dashboard.

8. Simulate the QR Code payment using this endpoint:

POST https://api.xendit.co/id/payments/simulate

In Headers please input below on this section:
KEY: api-version

VALUE: 2022-07-31

Input your QR Code ID (which in this case qr_9bd909fd-422a-4a43-bd49-958edf383f6d) in the request endpoint and click send.

PS: If you create static QR Code, then you need to put amount in the body request instead of empty

Afterwards you will get this response and the transaction will pop up in Transaction Tab

{
"id": "qrpy_f83566a0-81e6-4e4a-8677-44320f9fa7d3",
"business_id": "6253abec9547485c4a838dbe",
"currency": "IDR",
"amount": 1000,
"status": "SUCCEEDED",
"created": "2022-11-22T12:04:53.078011Z",
"qr_id": "qr_9bd909fd-422a-4a43-bd49-958edf383f6d",
"qr_string": "some-random-qr-string",
"reference_id": "testing_id_1669118631",
"type": "DYNAMIC",
"channel_code": "ID_LINKAJA",
"expires_at": null,
"basket": null,
"metadata": null,
"payment_detail": {
"receipt_id": null,
"source": null,
"name": null,
"account_details": null
 }
}

And simulation is done!
