Process authorization

Genstore and the payment application need to complete account authorization so that merchants can link their Genstore store with a third-party payment account and activate it for use.

Process steps

1. Merchant initiates authorization: After installing the payment app in the Genstore admin, the merchant clicks the Authorize button to initiate the authorization request.
2. Payment app provides authorization landing page: The payment app provides an authorization landing page to guide the merchant through the authorization process.
3. Validate account information authorization: The merchant completes the required actions on the authorization landing page, and the payment app validates the result, returning the authorization outcome to Genstore.
4. Update authorization status:
   • If authorization is successful -> The payment app calls the Genstore API Update account authorization result to return a success status, and Genstore updates the payment app status to Activated.
   • If authorization fails -> Genstore retains the current status and prompts the merchant to reinitiate authorization.
