String Required

If business_type is 5 (Others), specify the business type in details.

Notes:

When the merchant wishes to price their products in RMB, the merchant can put the CNY payment amount in the rmb_fee field. In the same time, the total_fee field needs to be ignored. The payment amount will be displayed in RMB to the user.

The merchant must not change the value of the currency field, which is the settlement currency that Alipay pays the merchant in.
The total_fee or rmb_fee field are mutually exclusive. One and only one of them can be used.

The decimal place accuracy of amounts, such as the values of total_fee, depends on the value of currency. If the value of currency isJPY, then the amount must be an integer. For example, 100 JPY. For other currencies, the amount is of two decimal place accuracy. For example, 100.00 USD. Amounts in other formats will cause error, for example, 100.999 USD. The value of rmb_fee is also of two decimal places because the currency is CNY.
If both order_gmt_create + order_valid_time and timeout_rule are specified, order_gmt_create + order_valid_time will be used for order timeout control. Alipay suggests to use order_gmt_create + order_valid_time for order timeout control.
The merchant cannot attach parameters to return_url in order to pass them to Alipay. Alipay will remove all extra parameters in the return_url field.

#Notification trigger condition

Trigger condition name	Description	Note
TRADE_FINISHED	Trade is completed successfully	true (trigger notification)
WAIT_BUYER_PAY	Trade creation	false (does not trigger notification)
TRADE_CLOSED	Trade closed	true (trigger notification)

Please pay attention to the specifications when you use asynchronous notifications:

Ensure that the Notification Page (as configured by notify_url) is absolutely blank, without space, html tag, or any error messages threw from the program system.
Alipay sends the notification information in POST method.
Asynchronous notification is only sent when a transaction exists in Alipay system and the transaction status is changed. For example, if the status of a real-time transaction is WAIT_BUYER_PAY, no notification is sent.
For some interfaces, if both return_url and notify_url are passed, both synchronous redirection and asynchronous notification are used when a transaction reaches a final state.
Asynchronous notification is the interaction between servers, which, unlike interaction between websites, is usually not visible.
After the notification is processed, the notification page must print "success" (without quote). If not, Alipay server keeps re-sending notification for the next 24 hours and 22 minutes. Generally, there are eight notifications within 25 hours (Frequency: 2m, 10m, 10m, 1h, 2h, 6h, 15h).
After the notification is processed, the notification page must not redirect. Otherwise, Alipay will not recognize a "success" string. Alipay system will then regard it as an error and keep sending notification.
Cookies and sessions are invalid on the notification page, which means these data cannot be captured.
The configuration and testing of asynchronous notification must be on a server that is connected to internet.
The main purpose of the asynchronous notification is to prevent loss of transaction orders. Even if a synchronous redirection fails, asynchronous notification can ensure that the merchant can still obtain the transaction information.
Alipay uses notify_id for idempotence control of asynchronous notifications. When the merchant receives the asynchronous notification and prints "success", the parameter notify_id becomes invalid.
Alipay might add new parameters (existing parameters will not change) along the way. When doing notification verification, merchants must use all parameters returned from Alipay, excluding sign_type and sign.
