Marketplace Capabilities

Payments

ALEFBA payment documentation describes marketplace checkout principles and the boundary between ALEFBA, sellers and payment providers.

Documentation

Payment principles

• Use provider-hosted or provider-approved payment experiences.
• Never collect raw card data through undocumented ALEFBA API fields.
• Verify payment completion server-side before fulfilling an order.
• Use idempotency for operations that could otherwise be repeated.
• Record provider references without logging secret credentials.
• Keep refunds and payment status changes auditable.

Marketplace lifecycle

1. The buyer confirms the cart and checkout details.
2. A payment provider securely handles the payment interaction.
3. The backend verifies the provider result.
4. The order is updated only after trusted server-side confirmation.
5. Refunds and disputes follow marketplace policy and provider rules.

Public API availability

This portal does not declare a standalone public Payments API endpoint. Use only payment routes and webhook events explicitly published by ALEFBA.
