First request to Corefy API (MIN)
What it does: creates a payment-invoice; card data itself is collected and submitted separately by Corefy's checkout/SDK layer, not as part of this request. The flow is always 3D Secure (non-3DS and a configurable 3DS control version are not supported), and CVV is always required (no CVV-exempt mode).

Important
customer.date_of_birthis converted fromYYYY-MM-DDtoDD-MM-YYYYbefore being sent to Sola.customer.address.full_addressis preferred for theaddressfield sent to Sola;address.streetis used as a fallback whenfull_addressisn't set.- If a field is still missing after falling back to its Constant (see below), and the
generate_data_for_customeroption is not enabled, it is sent to Sola asnull.
Extended request (MAX)
Why add extra fields (typical reasons): - Provide additional customer details for compliance/reconciliation - Positively influence conversion rate - Include optional fields required by your specific flow
Options
generate_data_for_customer-> optional, boolean - when enabled, any ofcountry/city/phone/first_name/last_name/email/address/zip/state/day_of_birthstill missing after the request and Constants are applied are filled with a fixed placeholder value (not a unique/random value per request - every merchant with this option enabled sends the same filler data for a given field, e.g.email: test@test.test,phone: +380989009090,city: La Chorrera). Data actually sent by the customer or resolved from a Constant is never overwritten.
Constants (fallback fields)
Constants are static values that Corefy can send to the provider instead of dynamic data from your API request, when those fields are missing in the request.
Priority (predictable rule): 1. If a value is present in the request -> Corefy uses the request value 2. Else if the constant is set -> Corefy uses the constant 3. Else if generate_data_for_customer is enabled -> Corefy uses the fixed placeholder described above 4. Else -> the field is sent to Sola as null
Currently available constants (constant -> Corefy API field)
CUSTOMER_COUNTRY->customer.address.countryCUSTOMER_CITY->customer.address.cityCUSTOMER_PHONE->customer.phoneCUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME->customer.name(first name part)CUSTOMER_LAST_NAME->customer.name(last name part)CUSTOMER_EMAIL->customer.emailCUSTOMER_ADDRESS->customer.address.full_address/.streetCUSTOMER_ZIP->customer.address.post_codeCUSTOMER_STATE->customer.address.regionCUSTOMER_DAY_OF_BIRTH->customer.date_of_birth(formatDD-MM-YYYY)
Refunds
Sola does not support refunds.
Additional info
- Active reconciliation is available - both the asynchronous callback and an active status request can finalize the payment.
- No recurring - this connector does not support saving/charging a token through Corefy.
- Always 3D Secure, always CVV - there is no non-3DS mode and no CVV-exempt mode for this connector.
FAQ / Troubleshooting
- Invalid credentials / auth error -> verify the Project ID and secret key
- Currency or service is not supported -> confirm allowed currencies/features in your Sola account and in Corefy - only
EURis available - Customer fields arriving as empty/null at Sola -> set the relevant Constant, or enable
generate_data_for_customerto send fixed placeholder data instead ofnull - Refund fails -> Sola does not support refunds through Corefy
