Bizum paymentsPrivate preview

Bizum is a real-time payment system in Spain. When making a payment with Bizum, the buyer enters the phone number they’ve registered with Bizum and authenticates and approves the payment in their bank’s app directly.

Get started

You don’t have to integrate Bizum and other payment methods individually. If you use our front-end products, Stripe automatically determines the most relevant payment methods to display. Go to the Stripe Dashboard and enable Bizum. To get started with one of our hosted UIs, follow a quickstart:

• Checkout: Our prebuilt, hosted checkout page.
• Elements: Our drop-in UI components.

Other payment products

The following Stripe products also let you add Bizum from the Dashboard:

• Payment Links

If your integration requires manually listing payment methods, learn how to configure Bizum.

Disputes

Bizum has a claims process that allows transaction disputes. Customers can open disputes for cases of suspected fraud, double payments, or a difference between an order and a transaction amount.

After the customer initiates a dispute, Stripe notifies you using:

• Email
• The Stripe Dashboard
• An API charge.dispute.created event (if your integration is set up to receive webhooks)

Stripe holds back the disputed amount from your balance until Bizum resolves the dispute.

We request that you upload compelling evidence proving that you fulfilled the purchase order using the Stripe Dashboard. This evidence can include the:

• Tracking ID
• Shipping date
• Record of purchase for intangible goods, such as IP address or email receipt
• Record of purchase for services or physical goods, such as phone number or proof of receipt
• Record of refund (for purchase you’ve already refunded)

To handle disputes programmatically, respond to disputes using the API.

This information helps Bizum determine if a dispute is valid. Make sure the evidence you provide contains as much detail as possible from what the customer provided at checkout. You must submit the requested information within 12 calendar days. If Bizum resolves the dispute with you winning, we return the disputed amount to your Stripe balance. If Bizum rules in favor of the customer, the balance charge becomes permanent.

Refunds

Bizum supports full and partial refunds.

• The refund period is up to 395 days after the purchase.
• Refunds for Bizum payments are asynchronous and take up to 5 minutes to complete.

Stripe notifies you of the final refund status using the refund.updated or refund.failed webhook event. When a refund succeeds, the Refund object’s status transitions to succeeded. If a refund fails (the Refund object’s status transitions to failed), then we return the amount to your Stripe balance, and you must arrange an alternative way of providing your customer with a refund.

Supported currencies

You can create Bizum payments in the currencies that map to your country. The default local currency for Bizum is eur.
