[ADDED] WorldPay support needed asap

[thomas]

Wonder what is happening with support for WorldPay - I need this asap.

(My client will actually be using BankDirect, WorldPay's basic gateway product for businesses who already have an ITA.)

Please advise as to progress - website must be launched & fully tested this week!

thanks

I was planning on working on this this weekend, but I will start earlier and see if I can get it to you ASAP.

Thanks,
Jamie

Thanks so much

I am actually going away from 4th October (ie this Friday) & the site [b:fbde3ecc7b]must[/b:fbde3ecc7b] be up & running by then as a reletively high profile advert for the site is going out tomorrow (3rd October).

Very much appreciated

OK. I hope I won't run into any unforseen problems. It seems straight foward enough.

Just so you are aware, most payment gateways offer 3 methods of sending the order to them. They are, in order of best method:

1. Server to Server communication
- our server sends all the info to their server in the background. they sent back info on how transaction went, and that info is then used to determine what to tell the customer. customer never sees the URL for the payment gateway in their browser, and stays on your site the whole time

2. Client side form POST
Client sends all info via their browser to a secure page on payment gateways site. This sometimes can appear the same to the customer as the first method, if the payment gateway supports a quick redirect back to the originating site.

3. Client side link
Client is sent to a secure page at the payment gateway's site to enter their credit car information and submit order.

In consideration of your time constraints, we will most likely be working on the 2nd option first for you. This is the easiest to code for, and works very well. We will also be enabling the other methods for WorldPay, but probably at a later date.

Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Thomas,

Just wanted you to know that I am having an extremely hard time find documentation that describes how to integrate via option 1 OR option 2 that I described above. They have plenty of info on how to integrate using ASP, but nothing about PHP. I tried to read the documentation on getting it to work on a server running ASP/IIS/ and Java Servlets, and it is very confusing. I can't pick out exactly what I need to accomplish it via PHP. I have sent a support request to them asking for more information. In the meantime, would you be able to make do with something configured like method 3 above? I should be able to get the cart post the order details to them, and hopefully they will just have to fill out the CC info. I believe there is a callback setting in their control panel that you could use so upon completion, the order gets kicked back to the cart. I will let you know more soon...

OK....I think I have this working well.

I had to use method 3, and have the cc info collected at WorldPay's site. Once I get more info from them, I may get method 1 or 2 working as well. It actually works better than expected considering that the customer has to go to WorldPay's site. If you login to the control panel at WorldPay, you can setup your headers and footers, so the page will somewhat match the look of your site. Once the info is entered at WorldPay, the customer is sent back to the original cart page.

I am emailing you a ZIP file now with instructions. Please let me know how you make out with it.

BTW - I described these 3 methods for communicating with the gateways a little better here:

This will be incorporated into v1.0.9.

Thanks,
