How to use the Dragonpay Generic Biller Platform
Merchants who do not need full API integration can make use of Dragonpay's simple email link payment (aka. Generic Biller Platform). The simplest format is:
https://gw.dragonpay.ph/GenPay.aspx?merchantid=XXXXXX
where "XXXXXX" is the id assigned to the merchant and has been configured to accept Generic Biller request from Dragonpay's side. The url may be embedded on a website or in an email. When clicked by the end-user, the Dragonpay generic bills payment page will take over and prompt the user for additional payment data.
If merchant wishes to pre-fill the bills payment page, they can optionally include the ff. variables:
It is up to the merchant to decide which of the optional parameters to include. For example, if merchant wishes to pre-fill the amount:
https://gw.dragonpay.ph/GenPay.aspx?merchantid=XXXXXX&amount=1000
Or if merchant wants to indicate an invoice no and the name:
https://gw.dragonpay.ph/GenPay.aspx?merchantid=XXXXXX&invoiceno=1234&name=John+Smith&amount=1000
Url formatting convention has to be strictly followed. Special characters like whitespaces have to be url-encoded (replaced with a "+" symbol). For other symbols you may refer to the HTML URL Encoding Reference guide.

How to Integrate PayPal with Dragonpay
Dragonpay has built-in support for PayPal. Merchants who do not wish to bother integrating directly with PayPal may just choose to route their PayPal transactions via the unified API of Dragonpay.
To enable PayPal on your Dragonpay merchant account, do the following steps:
On the code side, if you wish to redirect from your checkout page directly to PayPal (bypassing the Dragonpay payment selection page), you just need to append a "procid=PYPL" parameter like this:
https://gw.dragonpay.ph/Pay.aspx?txnid=XXXX&....&procid=PYPL
To enable PayPal on your Dragonpay merchant account, do the following steps:
- Go to Tools >> All Tools >> API Credentials >> PayPal API >> Pre-built payment solution.
- Choose “Grant API Permissions”
- Indicate the API account username: sales_api1.dragonpay.ph and check the Express Checkout option.
- Click Submit.
- Email us your PayPal merchant id/email so we can set it up on our side.

https://gw.dragonpay.ph/Pay.aspx?txnid=XXXX&....&procid=PYPL
Dragonpay does not charge anything on top of whatever PayPal charges you. You do, however, get to avail of these benefits:
- Sales consultancy and support for basic PayPal questions
- Your system can automatically avail of new PayPal features such as retry-on-decline.
- Dragonpay can allow you to accept payments only from Verified PayPal accounts if you wish to reduce fraud.
We also recommend that merchants disable acceptance of eChecks as these payments are not real-time even with PayPal and may still be cancelled or reversed after. For more instructions on how to do this, visit the following resources:
- https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/My-account-settings-Archive/Disable-eCheck-As-a-Payment-Option/td-p/329394
