Hello is there anyone who has successfully connected a web application form to interswitch webpay gateway, thanks

Yes. Have they assigned you test paramters? What programming language are you using?

Na I haven't been assigned any test parameters, I work for a company, and a client wants dat func on her web, I have seen the demo tutorials on interswitch website, but that isn't enough for me, 1) how does one combine the values of the fields and convert them to sha format automatically, I hope u get wat am saying

What do you mean by 'sha format automatically'? Please explain further.

Ok u knw wat, let's leave dat, I want to learn the procedure from u, what and what am I supposed to to be able to do to connect my form to the interswitch gateway

1. You create your form which an applicant or user is to submit through your site

2. Ensure that the cost of the form is displayed on a 'confirmation' page which the applicant or user is to click on to trigger the payment process

3. Create a payment script which will derive its variables from the 'confirmation' page to send to the Interswitch Gateway in the format expected and post to the URL

<form name="form1" action="https://stageserv.interswitchng.com/test_paydirect/pay"
method="post">
<input name="product_id" type="hidden" value="XX" />
<input name="pay_item_id" type="hidden" value="XX" />
<input name="amount" type="hidden" value="XXXXXXX" />
<input name="currency" type="hidden" value="566" />
<input name="site_redirect_url" type="hidden" value="http://abc.com /getresponse”/>
<input name="txn_ref" type="hidden" value=" XXXAFTXXX”" />
<input name="hash" type="hidden" value="BB292DF9268F05CB9CBBC5E0C13CC1B13ACA34DC" />
</form>

4. The Hash you need to compute using SHA512 can be done from this site http://www.fileformat.info/tool/hash.htm? It is a combination of the following (I guess this is where you found difficult?)

You can also generate same in your script using the format hash('sha512', $variables_represented_by_the details_each_shown_below)
txn_ref
7645536
product_id
174
pay_item_id
23
amount
1000000
site_redirect_url
http://www.yoursite.com/return/
MAC key
AC43543FA32234HB23423AFH843535

Note that the MAC key would assigned to you by Interswitch for production. environment

The rest of the process is pretty straight forward.

Yea clearly stated, but are there no values that are supposed to change? E.g payment I'd, its a bit confusing there, thanks ,

Or probably am confusing my self, the variables dat are supposed to be hashed do they change per user who uses d form,or do we nid to create a form for every type of product or service u selling,

5hyguy: Or probably am confusing my self, the variables dat are supposed to be hashed do they change per user who uses d form,or do we nid to create a form for every type of product or service u selling,

Yes the variables change for every form or every transaction carried out. For every form filled on your site, there ought to be a unique txn_ref, product_id and pay_item_id (note the txn_ref is like your receipt number, product_id maybe numbers you categorize the forms into such membership premium or membership gold etc while the pay_item_id you can use something unique).

These numbers can be randomly generated using this function mt_rand(100,9999) as maybe the case for txn_ref and pay_item_id while for the product_id you can use static numbers.

The MAC key would be assigned to you by Interswitch and is your own unique identifier with them.

Hmmm do u mind if I gv u a call something, I think things would be really clear please, thanks

5hyguy: Hmmm do u mind if I gv u a call something, I think things would be really clear please, thanks

Ok. One question ..must you integrate with Interswitch? Why not go for one which is cost free and is an aggregator? Buzz me when you can.

Its not compulsory its interswitch, is there an alternative? Hw straight forward is d implementation, like I luv paypals integration that uses simple javascript, I wanted to call u, but felt ul b @ work, so I can call nytym right

Aiite

Aiite, so I just nid to add an action attri to my form and call dis particular snippet in a page

5hyguy: Aiite, so I just nid to add an action attri to my form and call dis particular snippet in a page

Sure. You need to be assigned with a Merchant ID (326), Merchant Code (1551060007) and Merchant Key (1466509421) try this and see if you can get a redirect to the gateway. If you succeed then u're done and need to contact them at info@pay4me.com for necessary production setup details

Ok, I called ur line dis evening, didn't pickup, guess u were busy, ama try it out n see,

nice one, very flexible and easy to use, the only thing is the page that has to be printed as a proof of payment cant be customized, it always has to be their page. unlike if you were intergrating directly with interswtich, you could easily specify what page it redirects to after payment. do you get

Yes you specify a page to redirect to after payment by the applicant. When a payment is successful, the applicant sees a button which when clicked redirects him/her to the page the site owner wants them to be redirected to for example a customized thank you page, confirmation page or receipt page.

In the code you gave to me thrs no where to specify that, or whr am I supposed to specify that?

5hyguy: In the code you gave to me thrs no where to specify that, or whr am I supposed to specify that?

Sorry about the call drop. The page you want the applicant to go to after payment is stated and given to Pay4me during setup. They configure all that for you.

If you can, send me your application's Response Notification URL (where the platform posts successful transactions on your portal to) as well as the URL you want your applicants redirected to on successful payment I will get them change my demo settings to yours.

Thanks a lot, ran out of credit, what I was saying is, after payment, can I specify the kind of page the user is redirected to(customized), so as to print the invoice or receipt as the case may be, thanks

Ok, perfect, ill signup for it, I suppose u work with them right?

Great.

Just 2 people on dis thread and bigtt76 cud help work dis out! Wow! I love the way she helped handle things. Great work Captains

Yea that's maturity and having the knowledge to give others

hi, is it possible to add other fields to the form, and post them to the payment gateway. e.g address of the person, or its just item_num, item name, price etc, cause iv tried it and i get an exception. "Trying to get property of non-object" thanks

Yes you can using the validation rules (Parameters) but it has to be configured during the setup at the payment gateway end.

alright, no wonder i was getting that exception, thanks
