Merchant Risk Level
Risk level 1 stands at the lowest level of risk and Risk level 5 is the highest level of risk. Broad guidelines for setting appropriate risk levels are below (detailed guidelines are available in the merchant onboarding screen, under the “risk & compliance” section in Basispay panel). Setting the appropriate risk level is very important because certain back-end rules (like blacklist rules, velocity rules, etc.) are automatically set in the database depending on the chosen risk level. Choosing an overtly permissive risk level exposes us to fraud and misuse whereas choosing an overtly restrictive risk level exposes us to delayed processing and false positives.
Risk Level 1: Educational institutions, schools, colleges and membership fees for renowned associations and statutory bodies.
Risk Level 2: Broadband and internet services with recurring monthly postpaid payment and other similar services which are recurring payments on a postpaid basis. Other low ticket size ecommerce payments (such as movie ticket purchases) also fall under this risk level. Utility billers (direct billers like Vodafone, Tata Sky, etc.) also fall under this risk level but please note, utility bill payments through bill aggregators will fall under risk level 3 and NOT this level.
Risk Level 3: E-commerce merchants accepting domestic payments and only doing domestic delivery (to domestic PIN codes) also fall under this risk level. Any ecommerce business which has average ticket size greater than 4-5000 will fall in this bucket. Travel merchants who accept only domestic payments (from cards issued in India) also fall under this bucket. Recharge (phone, DTH, etc.) and utility payments via third party bill payment aggregators. Special note: many a time we have observed that third party bill aggregators use a “wallet mechanism” to store user money and allow for utility payments from that stored money. In such cases, those merchants will not fall under risk level 3 but under risk level 4 since allowing for storage of money increases risk manifold.
Risk Level 4: Any merchant who intends to use international payments automatically falls in risk level 4, irrespective of their line of business. For example, even an educational institution which would normally fall under risk level 1 is automatically demoted to risk level 4 if they opt for international payments. Any and all PPIs (Prepaid Instruments) i.e. wallets who use the PG for wallet loading also fall in risk level 4 Special note: RBI regulations on wallets are very clear in terms of usage of the money stored in a wallet. However, there are cases where some merchants offer utility payments via “wallets”. This case falls under a grey area on whether it should be considered a closed or a semi-closed wallet (requiring RBI licensing). On the one hand, payment is being made to external entities (like Mahanagar Gas, Airtel, Jio, etc.) and on the other hand the ‘inventory’ has been purchased beforehand by the aggregator and therefore wallet money is being used for purchase on the same website/entity and not different legal entity. Nevertheless, any merchant who has a business model of “stored money” should be treated as a risk level 4 merchant.
Risk Level 5: High risk categories such as resume writing, job/employment services, matrimonial, ecommerce websites without a proper web presence from known high risk regions and PIN codes (an exhaustive list of high risk PIN codes is available in Basispay merchant management panel), freelancers, medicine & pills, dating websites or apps. As a company strategy, we typically do not prefer to work with such merchants. In case the sales team is convinced of the viability of a merchant who falls in the risk level 5 bucket, kindly put up an email request to assess the merchant. It should be noted that most of our acquirers do not accept such merchants and we might have to specifically work with our acquirers on a case-by-case basis in case such merchants are being onboarded. Note: Risk level 5 merchants cannot be onboarded without “buyer protection” being turned on (details in subsequent section).
Merchant allowed referral URLs
Referral URL (a.k.a. invoker URL) refers to the URL from which the merchant is allowed to do a POST request to our Basispay payment request API. Setting in the right referral URL is crucial during merchant on-boarding. Merchants would be able to direct their users to our payment page only via the pre-registered referral URL.
If there are multiple referral URLs, please understand the business justification for the same from the merchant and put in a comma separated list of allowed referral URLs.
Putting in a referral URL is mandatory, system will not allow approval of merchant account without that unless the business param “allow null referral URLs” is set.
In case of app-only integrations, the referral URL cannot be a reliable indicator of the source of the transaction initiation. However, after transaction completion, the return URL where our system POSTs back the response can definitely be validated. Please do not accept IP addresses there but ensure that it is a proper URL.
Note: In exceptional cases, set the business parameter “allow null referral URLs”, but put a note as to why this exception was given.
Merchant whitelisted IPs
List of IP addresses allowed to perform server-server calls (blank means unrestricted access). Please note the crucial difference between URL whitelisting and IP whitelisting. These are NOT the same by any means. URL whitelisting refers to https POST calls which are permitted only from the set of whitelisted URLs as described in previous section. IP whitelisting refers to the IP addresses which are permitted to perform host to host or server to server calls. These are typically used for API based reconciliation/inquiry, API based refunds, and other similar API calls such as split payment requests. Please note that such calls are typically performed by a mechanism such as cURL (if using PHP) and not via https POST.
Putting in a referral URL is not mandatory, because of the practical consideration that many merchants use the dashboard UI for all required activity and do not perform API calls. Therefore please be doubly careful that as and when a merchant approaches for a host-to-host API access, the right set of comma - separated list of IP addresses have to be put in.
Merchant website analysis
Prior to go-live, the merchant’s website needs to be scanned for several points which are outlined below. Note: w.e.f. 19/03/2018, five new fields have been added to the Basispay merchant management interface. These are intended to capture screenshots of the merchant website as during go-live. Please take screenshots using the snipping tool and attempt to include the date/time in the screenshots and upload the same into Basispay.
Complete description of goods and services
By definition, a merchant intending to collect online payments has to be selling something – a certain good or service. This has to be clearly reflected on the merchant website.
The Merchant must provide a complete description of its goods or services. This is easy in the ecommerce context. In other cases (like educational institutions etc. where a standard “set of products” cannot be displayed), the website should at least provide descriptions of the kind of services being offered.
In general, the sales and risk personnel, both, must be absolutely aware of:
i) WHAT is being sold
ii) TO WHOM it is being sold
iii) HOW will the sold product/service be delivered to the customer
iv) WHEN will the sold product/service be delivered to the customer
v) IN WHAT FORM will the sold product/service be delivered to the customer
Merchant Contact Information
Since communication with a Merchant is not always possible using the Website, Merchants must display a customer service contact telephone number or e-mail address. The Customers can, therefore, contact the Merchant to ask questions about their transaction.
It is recommended to attempt to contact the merchant on this provided contact information at least once during the on-boarding or post on-boarding process to ensure legitimacy of the contact information.
Return, Refund and Cancellation Policy
A Merchant must provide sufficient details of their return, refund, and cancellation policy clearly on the Website to inform Customers of their rights and responsibilities, for example, in case they need to return goods. It is perfectly acceptable if the Merchant has a limited or no refund policy, but this must be very clearly communicated to Customers before the purchase decision is made, to prevent misunderstanding and disputes.
Delivery PolicyIn the event that any Merchant is unable to support delivery of goods worldwide and restricts sales to within their own country or to a limited number of countries, based on delivery experience or import and export regulations, the same shall be communicated on the Website explicitly stating the countries and regions where delivery of goods can be made.
It is also recommended to clearly state the delivery timeframe or at least indicative delivery timeframes. Tis recommended to provide details of the course of action in case deliver timeframe is overshot.
Transaction currency
In case of merchants who are utilizing MCC and/or overseas card acceptance, it is understood that since the Merchant’s customer base is worldwide, it is important that the Customer is made aware of the transaction currency before the Customer proceeds to purchase. The currency should be clearly stated, including the country name when the name of the unit of currency is not unique. For example, a dollar can be an Australian dollar, a New Zealand dollar, a Hong Kong dollar, a U.S. dollar and so on.
Additional items that ideally should be included on a Merchant’s Website
• Privacy statements
• Identifiers that easily match the Website to the trade name of the Merchant
• A statement encouraging Customers to retain a copy of the transaction record in email and/or SMS, etc.
