Wave

Unlike the handset-prompt operators, Wave approves through a redirect:

  1. You initiate the payment as usual.
  2. The customer’s device is redirected to a page hosted by Wave. On desktop it shows a QR code the customer scans with the Wave app; on mobile it deep links straight into the Wave app.
  3. The customer approves the transaction in the Wave app.
  4. The customer is redirected back — to the hosted checkout if you use it, or to your merchant page (the session redirectUrl) on a Direct API flow.

As with the handset flow, the transaction stays pending until Wave confirms the outcome, which arrives by webhook and on the transaction state.
