Wave Money

Wave Money's payment gateway sends the customer to a Wave payment page to pay with their WavePay wallet.

Call	What it does	Returns
waveMoney().initiate(data)	Redirect to Wave's payment page	RedirectPayment
waveMoney().handleCallback(request)	Verify the callback	PaymentCallback

Wave Money has no status API in this package: the callback is the only payment result.

Responses shows what Wave Money puts in each result.

How it works

Wave sends the customer back to your return URL and posts the result to your callback URL separately.

Wave Money: payment request, authenticate, result

Initiating a Payment

import type { WaveMoneyPaymentData } from '@laranex/myanmar-payments';
import { MyanmarPaymentsService } from '@laranex/nestjs-myanmar-payments';
import { Controller, Param, Post, Redirect } from '@nestjs/common';

import { OrdersService } from '../orders/orders.service';

@Controller('checkout')
export class WaveMoneyCheckoutController {
  constructor(
    private readonly payments: MyanmarPaymentsService,
    private readonly orders: OrdersService,
  ) {}

  @Post(':id/wave-money')
  @Redirect()
  async initiate(@Param('id') id: string): Promise<{ url: string }> {
    const order = await this.orders.findOrFail(id);

    const data: WaveMoneyPaymentData = {
      orderId: `ORDER_${order.id}`,
      callbackUrl: 'https://shop.test/payments/wave/callback',
      returnUrl: `https://shop.test/orders/${order.id}`,
      description: `Order #${order.id}`,
      items: [
        { name: 'Product A', amount: 6000 },
        { name: 'Product B', amount: 4000 },
      ],
    };

    const payment = await this.payments.waveMoney().initiate(data);

    await this.orders.update(order, {
      waveReference: data.merchantReferenceId,
    });

    return { url: payment.url };
  }
}

WaveMoneyPaymentData

Parameter	Type	Required	Rules
orderId	string	Yes	Your order ID. One order can have several payment attempts
callbackUrl	string	Yes	Absolute http or https URL that Wave posts the result to. Wave may require HTTPS with a CA-issued certificate in production
returnUrl	string	Yes	Absolute http or https URL Wave sends the customer back to. Not proof of payment
description	string	Yes	Shown to the customer
items	readonly WaveMoneyItem[]	Yes	At least one item
amount	AmountInput	No	Whole kyat, greater than 0 (Wave doesn't accept decimals). Unset charges the sum of the items. Wave only accepts MMK
merchantReferenceId	string	No	Unique ID of this attempt. Unset or empty means a random ID

WaveMoneyItem takes a name and an amount (AmountInput) in whole kyat, greater than 0. The items are summed with exact integer arithmetic, never floats.

Merchant Reference ID

Wave rejects a reused merchant_reference_id (409 Record already exists), so every attempt, including a retry of the same order, needs a new one. Leave it empty to get a fresh random ID, and store it: Wave marks orderId as optional in callbacks, while merchantReferenceId is always present. initiate() fills it in, so read it from data.merchantReferenceId afterwards.

Handling Callbacks

import { PaymentCallback } from '@laranex/myanmar-payments';
import {
  AcknowledgeCallback,
  VerifiedCallback,
} from '@laranex/nestjs-myanmar-payments';
import { Controller, Post } from '@nestjs/common';

@Controller('payments')
export class WaveMoneyCallbackController {
  @Post('wave/callback')
  @AcknowledgeCallback()
  handle(
    @VerifiedCallback('wave-money') callback: PaymentCallback,
  ): PaymentCallback {
    if (callback.isSuccessful()) {
      // callback.orderId is your orderId
      // callback.raw.merchantReferenceId is the attempt's reference
      // callback.gatewayReference is Wave's transactionId
    }

    return callback;
  }
}

A bad signature answers 400 before the handler runs. callback.orderId falls back to merchantReferenceId when Wave's orderId is missing, null or empty.

Responses

What Wave Money puts in each property. See Results and PaymentCallback & Status for the full classes. raw holds plain JavaScript values, with JSON numbers kept as their exact text in a string (1000.50 stays '1000.50').

initiate() → RedirectPayment

Property	Wave Money value
orderId	Your orderId
url	{authenticateUrl}/authenticate?transaction_id=… (URL-encoded), e.g. https://payments.wavemoney.io/authenticate?transaction_id=…
gatewayReference	Wave transaction_id. Always set
raw	Wave's /payment response: message (success), transaction_id

The attempt's merchantReferenceId is not on the result: read it from data.merchantReferenceId.

handleCallback() → PaymentCallback

Property / Method	Wave Money value
orderId	Wave orderId, falling back to merchantReferenceId when it is missing, null or empty
status	status mapped, see Statuses
gatewayStatus	Wave status, trimmed, e.g. PAYMENT_CONFIRMED
gatewayReference	Wave transactionId
amount	Wave amount, e.g. 10000
raw	The verified body: status, merchantId, orderId, merchantReferenceId, frontendResultUrl, backendResultUrl, initiatorMsisdn, amount, timeToLiveSeconds, paymentDescription, currency, additionalField1–5, transactionId, paymentRequestId, requestTime, hashValue
acknowledgement	HTTP 200, empty body, Content-Type: text/plain

@AcknowledgeCallback() (or acknowledge(res, callback)) sends acknowledgement. The gateway's handleCallback() takes a CallbackRequest; this.payments.handleCallback('wave-money', request) also accepts a Nest request.

Statuses

Only PAYMENT_CONFIRMED means the customer paid.

Wave status	PaymentStatus
PAYMENT_CONFIRMED	Successful
INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE	Pending
ACCOUNT_LOCKED, BILL_COLLECTION_FAILED	Failed
PAYMENT_REQUEST_CANCELLED	Canceled
TRANSACTION_TIMED_OUT, SCHEDULER_TRANSACTION_TIMED_OUT	Expired
anything else	Unknown

SCHEDULER_TRANSACTION_TIMED_OUT arrives up to 15 minutes after the time-to-live ends.

Errors

Call	Throws	When
initiate()	InvalidPaymentDataError	A value breaks the rules above. Nothing is sent
initiate()	ApiError	Wave answers with an HTTP error, a message other than success, or no transaction_id
handleCallback()	SignatureVerificationError	hashValue doesn't match, or a hashed field holds an object or array

httpStatus tells Wave's rejections apart: 400 invalid hash, 404 unknown merchant, 409 reused reference, 422 validation (gatewayCode is VALIDATION_ERROR). When Wave can't be reached, initiate() throws ApiError with httpStatus 0.
