Hello coders, am currently having an issue on Integrating Remita on a new project am working! Am using CodeIgniter with PHP and I created a library specifically for connecting to Remita for payment processing, while attempting to test run the library using Remita's Test Account, I get this error: "Invalid Request" Response from Remita! I have no idea how to go about solving this issue. I have contacted the Remita support center and even got to chat with one of the developers on skype. I shared my current problem with him and he wanted me to send him the JSON response I got back from REMITA which I did, but I haven't gotten a reply from him yet!! I just want to know what could cause such an error, so I'd know how to go about fixing it! Anyone with such an experience should please share with me, so I can get a better understanding, Please!

I have not written an integration for remita yet. But this your post shows me that you dont understand how to report a programming problem yet.

Now, I assume remita have a PHP integration code, you are supposed to have written a simple PHP script following their guidelines and see whether that works or not, if you have done that and it works.
The next step is to now create your codigniter library. And if you now have a problem, we will know where the problem is coming from.
You need to be able to analyze clearly and know where your problem is coming from.

But i assume you posted some data to a url via httppost request or something and you are not getting the expected result. Remember that computer technology is GIGO - GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT. So ensure that your input is correct, before you expect a good output.

You can also use the NET console in google chrome, or the NET console in mozilla firebug if it will help you to monitor outgoing requests and their response.

I have done integrations with remita before but was on java, most of the dynamic parameters you have to pass are URL params, things like authtokens, access key etc. Remember before you start any transaction, you need to ask for a token first.

Then you use that token as part of the URL path params in subsequent calls.

Anyway, I have to admit that the way the guys at system specs did that remita rest api, is confusing. Don't know why they decided to do most of the dynamic parameter stuffs as place holders on the URL string.

A simple url with dynamic variables as post body would have been easier to integrate for most developers these days, after all what you still issue is a post request

So bro, make sure the specific url you are trying to access is constructed with the right parameters.

I see, that is a kind of 2-factor authentication like doing twitter integration. So you must make two calls, the first is to get token,
the second is to do your request via the token you collected.
Well, if you can provide the JAVA code, I can convert it on the fly to PHP for this dude. Since I am vast in JAVA and PHP.

Bro, am sorry I don't have the codes. It is a project for an enterprise. You know how it goes.

Moreover, these days I don't give out free codes again, I have learnt my lessons here on nairaland.

Well, I just want to appreciate you for your second paragraph, I'll start by creating a small script now to see how everything goes!

If you are having "Invalid Request" from Remita means one of the expected fields was not sent. Ensure you are sending merchantId, serviceTypeId, orderId, hash, payerName, payerEmail, amt, responseurl.

Samples Codes are available on Remita's Developers site (PHP, .NET, JAVA) - http://remita.net/developers/#sample-codes

All the Best.

Remita integration is straight forward, their developers are very helpful if you engage them.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to integrate remita on a webpage. I do not know if anyone can help out.
All i have done is have "pay via remita" button. I do not know what next. their integration page .....

Most/all the information required are on www.remita.net/developers/

You post does not really tell me anything substantial, are you a coder or a CMS-INSTALLER?

A learning, sorry my terms will make it difficult for you to understand but i will try.

For the second sample code do not know what page its meant to be on. For the remita woocommerce plugin, i am getting an error from php version and child theme.

So it is woocommerce you are using, well I have not integrated with woocommerce before, so i cannot authoritatively say anything about that. But i guess you can contact their developers for assistance (if you have an account with them).

Yes. Okay i will. Thanks for your help

I have got the sample codes from developer's site, but I do not know where to apply them on my site. Kindly help me with a step by step guide because I am not a programmer and will not afford the huge programming fee they will charge to help me integrate. I do not know which one is URL for Validation. Please help me out.

Invalid Request means exactly what it means either you missing a field. Was there a response code with it
