Payment / Alternative payment methods / Colombia / Bre-B

H2H#

POST https://payments.apipro.io/v2/payment

Initiate a Bre-B QR code payment in Colombia using the Host-to-Host (H2H) integration. Send a payment request with method: "qr_code" and receive a challenge object with challenge_type: "qr", where challenge.challenge_qr contains the QR code data: code (the EMV payload, for rendering yourself or displaying as text) and image (the same code already rendered as a Base64-encoded PNG). Display this to the customer, who scans it with a Bre-B-compatible banking app or e-wallet to confirm the payment.

How It Works#

  1. Send a request to POST https://payments.apipro.io/v2/payment with method: "qr_code", mode: "initial", currency: "COP", and customer details, including itn and extra.meta.documentType.
  2. Check error_code in the response — 0 means the request was accepted.
  3. Check status — on acceptance it is "pending".
  4. Inspect challenge.challenge_type — for Bre-B it is "qr".
  5. Display the QR code to the customer using challenge.challenge_qr.image (a Base64-encoded PNG, e.g. via <img src="data:image/png;base64,{image}">) or challenge.challenge_qr.code (the raw EMV payload, for rendering yourself or showing as a copy-and-paste code).
  6. The customer scans the QR code with a Bre-B-compatible banking app or e-wallet and confirms the payment there.
  7. Receive a callback at your callback_url with the final transaction status once the payment is confirmed.

Request Parameters#

Root Object#

Parameter Type Required Description
method string Yes Must be "qr_code".
mode string Yes Must be "initial". Only initial mode is available for this method.
reference string Yes Unique merchant order ID (1–40 characters).
currency string Yes Must be "COP" (Colombian Peso).
amount integer Yes Transaction amount in COP (e.g., 5466).
description string No Description of the order/payment.
callback_url string Yes Merchant endpoint for async status notifications.

Customer Object (customer)#

Parameter Type Required Description
customer.identifier string Yes Unique customer ID in your system.
customer.first_name string Yes Customer's first name.
customer.last_name string Yes Customer's last name.
customer.email string Yes Customer's email address.
customer.phone string Yes Customer's phone number (Colombian format, e.g., +573103195622).
customer.itn string Yes Colombian identification number — the numeric value of the customer's document (matching the documentType). Validation: CC (Cédula de Ciudadanía — citizens 18+) and CE (Cédula de Extranjería — foreigners) — 6–10 digits, no separators, e.g. 1020304050. NIT (Número de Identificación Tributaria — legal entities/self-employed) — digits plus a check digit, formatted XXXXXXXXX-X, e.g. 900123456-7.

Extra / Metadata Object (extra)#

Parameter Type Required Description
extra.meta.documentType string Yes The type of the customer's identification document (see Document Types table below).

Colombian Document Types#

Code Description Format (used in customer.itn)
CO_CC Cédula de Ciudadanía (Citizenship ID) — for Colombian citizens aged 18 and over. 6–10 digits, no separators, e.g. 1020304050.
CO_CE Cédula de Extranjería (Foreign Resident ID) — for foreign residents in Colombia. 6–10 digits, no separators, e.g. 1020304050.
CO_NIT NIT — Número de Identificación Tributaria (Tax ID for businesses) — for legal entities and self-employed individuals. Digits plus a check digit, formatted XXXXXXXXX-X, e.g. 900123456-7.

Responses#

Status When
200 OK The request was accepted: status is "pending" and challenge.challenge_qr holds the QR code. See Succesful transaction in the Responses tab.
200 OK with error_code ≠ 0 The transaction failed — see error_reason. See Transaction processing error in the Responses tab.
400 Bad Request Returned when required fields are missing or malformed. See Invalid params in the Responses tab.
504 Gateway Timeout If the upstream provider does not respond within 30 seconds, a 504 is returned. Do not treat this as a failure. Use the Check Transaction Status endpoint or wait for the async callback.

Callback Examples#

Callbacks are sent to your callback_url when the transaction reaches a final status. Always validate the callback signature to avoid suspicious activity. Examples for each final status (Success, Declined, Error, Expired) are in the Callback tab.

Business Logic & Regional Requirements#

  • Currency Locking: Only "COP" (Colombian Peso) is supported. Any other currency will be rejected.
  • Method Code: QR Code payments use "qr_code" as the method identifier (snake_case only — not "QR_CODE" or "QrCode").
  • Document Number (ITN): The customer.itn field is required and must contain a valid Colombian identification number — CC, CE, or NIT (see Colombian Document Types table).
  • QR Code Display: The API responds with challenge.challenge_type: "qr". The challenge.challenge_qr object contains everything needed to display the code: code (the EMV payload of the Bre-B QR code, usable to render the QR yourself or show as a copy-and-paste code) and image (the same QR code pre-rendered as a Base64-encoded PNG, displayable via <img src="data:image/png;base64,{image}">). The QR code is not delivered via a redirect page — it is returned directly in the API response.
  • Timeout Handling: A 504 Gateway Timeout may occur if the upstream provider does not respond within 30 seconds. Do not treat this as a failure — use the Check Transaction Status endpoint or wait for the async callback.

Final Status Reference#
