Three Step Redirect API

Integration Overview

There are multiple ways to incorporate the payment gateway within a website or mobile device. These options vary based upon ease of integration, required resources, features, and additional security.

Transaction Request APIs

Three-Step Redirect API

  • The Three Step Redirect is the preferred API for customized web-based payment processing. Using this integration method significantly reduces a merchant’s PCI footprint without sacrificing end-user look and feel. This method is required when using Verified by Visa/Mastercard SecureCode (Payer Authentication).

Direct Post API

  • The Direct Post method is the simplest integration method for both web-based and non web-based payment applications, however, merchants using this integration method should have passed a PCI vulnerability scan before use.

Collect.js

  • Collect.js provides access to a popup form which securely captures payment data and generates a “token”. The token is then used with the Direct Post API instead of raw credit card or bank account data. The popup form is technically a seperate page hosted by the gateway, so no payment information touches the merchant’s site. This allows merchants to minimize their PCI-compliance footprint, with minimal changes to the customer experience.

Mobile SDK

  • The Mobile SDK supports iOS and Android based devices. These SDKs include a mobile card reader library which simplifies integrations for applications requiring encrypted mobile card readers. Additionally, an end-to-end encryption library is included, allowing merchants to send both swiped and keyed-in payment information without ever touching any sensitive data.

EMV Chip Card SDK

  • The EMV Chip Card SDK is a Windows-based software development kit that abstracts the complexities of interfacing directly with hardware terminals.

Transaction Retrieval API

Query API

  • The Query API allows merchants to download a detailed stream of transaction data. This dataset can then be used to create in-house reports and analytics.

Turnkey Shopping Carts

QuickClick Shopping Cart

  • QuickClick is a great option for e-commerce merchants who do not have an IT team or developer on staff. A button-generator is included, which allows merchants to create website links to products and services without any previous development experience.

Third Party Shopping Carts

  • There are a number of third party shopping carts that have integrated to the payment gateway. This is the best option for merchants who need a full featured turn-key shopping cart out of the box.

Methodology

Methodology
Three-Step

Method Overview

  • Step One:
    Submit all transaction details to the Payment Gateway except the customer’s sensitive payment information. The Payment Gateway will return a variable form-url.

  • Step Two:
    Create an HTML form that collects the customer’s sensitive payment information and use the form-url that the Payment Gateway returns as the submit action in that form.

  • Step Three:
    Once the customer has been redirected, obtain the token-id and complete the transaction through an HTTPS POST including the token-id which abstracts the sensitive payment information that was collected directly by the Payment Gateway.

Detailed Explanation

To start step one, your payment application will submit a behind-the-scenes HTTPS direct POST that includes transaction variables, including an additional variable redirect-url, which is a URL that must exist on your web server that handles a future browser redirect. Sensitive payment information such as cc-number, cc-exp, and cvv cannot be submitted during step one. The Payment Gateway will generate and return the form-url variable containing a unique URL to be used in Step 2.

Next, during step two, you must develop an HTML form that collects at least the customer’s sensitive payment information such as cc-number, cc-exp, and cvv. You must use the form-url obtained in step one as the action in the HTML of your payment form. When the customer submits the form, the customer’s browser will transparently POST the contents of the payment form directly to the Payment Gateway. This methodology keeps your web server and payment application from seeing or transmitting any credit card data or other sensitive data. Once the Payment Gateway has collected the customer’s sensitive payment details, the customer’s browser will be instructed to return to the redirect-url on your web server. Furthermore, the Payment Gateway will generate and append a unique variable named token-id to the redirect-url in the GET query string. This token-id is an abstraction of the customer’s sensitive payment information that the Payment Gateway collected. Your redirect-url script must parse the token-id for use in step three.

To complete the transaction, you will submit another behind-the-scenes HTTPS direct POST including only the token-id and api-key. This token-id is used to “tie” together the initial customer information with the sensitive payment information that the payment gateway collected directly.

Transaction Testing Credentials

Transactions can be tested using one of two methods. First, transactions can be submitted to any merchant account that is in test mode. Keep in mind that if an account is in test mode, all valid credit cards will be approved but no charges will actually be processed.

The Payment Gateway demo account can also be used for testing at any time. Please use the following api-key for testing with this account:

api-key: 2F822Rw39fx762MaV7Yy86jXGTC7sCDy

Transaction POST URL

In step one and step three, transaction details should be POST’ed using XML to the following URL:

POST URL https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/api/v2/three-step

Test Data

Transactions can be submitted using the following information:

Visa: 4111111111111111
MasterCard: 5431111111111111
Discover: 6011601160116611
American Express: 341111111111111

Methodology

Methodology
Direct Post API

Transactions

Steps:

1. The customer sends their payment information to the merchant’s web site.
2. The merchant web site posts the payment data to the Payment Gateway.
3. The Payment Gateway responds immediately with the results of the transactions.
4. The merchant web site displays the appropriate message to the customer.

The communication method used to send messages to the Payment Gateway’s server is the standard HTTP protocol over an SSL connection.

In the Direct Post method, the communications with the cardholder (Steps 1 and 4) are developed completely by the merchant and therefore are not defined by the Payment Gateway. Step 1 should simply collect the payment data from the cardholder and Step 4 should display the appropriate transaction receipt or declined message.

In Step 2, transaction details should be delivered to the Payment Gateway using the POST method with the appropriate variables defined below posted along with the request.

In Step 3, the transaction responses are returned in the body of the HTTP response in a query string name/value format delimited by ampersands. For example: variable1=value1&variable2=value2&variable3=value3

Customer Vault

The Customer Vault was designed specifically for businesses of any size to address concerns about handling customer payment information. Visa and MasterCard have instituted the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security to protect cardholder data, wherever it resides, ensuring that members, merchants, and service providers maintain the highest information security standards.

These associations have also deemed that merchants will be held liable for any breach of cardholder data. This has become a major concern for merchants who handle credit card or electronic check payments. The Customer Vault is designed for these merchants who desire to avoid the tremendous costs and resources involved in becoming PCI compliant under these circumstances.

The Customer Vault does this by allowing merchants to transmit their payment information through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection for storage in our Level 1 PCI certified data facility. Once the customer record has been securely transmitted to the Customer Vault, the merchant can then initiate transactions remotely without having to access cardholder information directly. This process is accomplished without the merchant storing the customer’s payment information in their local database or payment application.

Transaction Types
Direct Post API

Sale (sale)

Transaction sales are submitted and immediately flagged for settlement.

Authorization (auth)

Transaction authorizations are authorized immediately but are not flagged for settlement. These transactions must be flagged for settlement using the capture transaction type.

Capture (capture)

Transaction captures flag existing authorizations for settlement. Only authorizations can be captured. Captures can be submitted for an amount equal to or less than the original authorization.

Void (void)

Transaction voids will cancel an existing sale or captured authorization. In addition, non-captured authorizations can be voided to prevent any future capture. Voids can only occur if the transaction has not been settled.

Refund (refund)

Transaction refunds will reverse a previously settled or pending settlement transaction. If the transaction has not been settled, a transaction void can also reverse it.

Credit (credit)

Transaction credits apply an amount to the cardholder’s card that was not originally processed through the Gateway. In most situations credits are disabled as transaction refunds should be used instead.

Validate (validate)

This action is used for doing an “Account Verification” on the cardholder’s credit card without actually doing an authorization.

Update (update)

Transaction updates can be used to update previous transactions with specific order information, such as a tracking number and shipping carrier.

Apple Pay

Apple Pay
Direct Post API

Supported Processors

Currently Apple Pay is supported only on the TSYS – EMV platform.

Configuring Apple Pay

Creating an Apple Merchant ID
First, you must obtain an Apple Merchant ID before you can generate the Certificate Signing Request that Apple requires. You will need to set up an Apple Merchant ID in your iOS Developer Account. Follow these steps to complete the setup:

  1. Go to Apple’s Developer Portal and log in to the Member Center to create a new Merchant ID.
  2. Navigate to the Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles area of the Member Center, and then begin the Register Merchant ID process.
  3. You must then set the Apple Merchant ID within your gateway Control Panel under Settings -> Apple Pay.

Generating the Certificate Signing Request
Next, you will need to associate a Certificate with the Merchant ID in Apple’s Developer Portal. After downloading the Certificate Signing Request from the gateway’s options page, follow these steps.

  1. In Apple’s Developer Portal, click on the Merchant ID and then click “Edit”.
  2. Click “Create Certificate”.
  3. You are obtaining a CSR file from a Payment Provider so you will not have to create one. Click “Continue” to proceed to the upload page.
  4. Click “Choose File…” and select the Gateway.certSigningRequest file you downloaded from the gateway’s options page.

How to Obtain Apple Pay Payment Data

PassKit provides the payment data in the (PKPayment *)payment that is returned to your app’s paymentAuthorizationViewController:didAuthorizePayment:completion method. The Apple Pay encrypted payment data is found in payment.token.paymentData.

payment.token.paymentData is a binary (NSData) object, so you must encode it as a hexadecimal string before it can be passed to the Gateway.

Passing Apple Pay Payment Data

To submit a payment with Apple Pay, send the encrypted token data into the applepay_payment_data variable. There is no need to decrypt the data in your app. Only the Gateway will have access to the private key that can decrypt the token.

Notes

When passing in applepay_payment_data, you should not include the variables ccnumber or ccexp; they are extracted from the token data.

Important Note: The authorization amount must match the amount the customer approves in the app. If you pass in a currency, that must also match the currency approved in the app. If omitted, the currency from the app is used.

For working example code, including how to obtain the PKPayment object and how to pass a simple transaction to the Gateway, download the sample project.

Variables

Variable Name Description
applepay_payment_data The encrypted Apple Pay payment data (payment.token.paymentData) from PassKit encoded as a hexadecimal string

Troubleshooting

If you receive the error “Failed to decrypt Apple Pay data. Ensure that the Apple Pay Merchant ID is correct in the Gateway Settings and that the certificate was generated from a Gateway Certificate Signing Request.”, try these steps:

  1. Verify that the Merchant ID that Apple has in the developer portal exactly matches the Merchant ID in the Gateway’s settings.
  2. Verify that your app’s PKPaymentRequest’s merchantIdentifier exactly matches the Merchant ID in the Gateway’s settings.
  3. Ensure that the correct Merchant ID is checked in the Apple Pay section of the Capabilities tab in your project’s target settings.
  4. Try creating a new Merchant ID. Reusing an existing Merchant ID with a new certificate may sometimes cause issues with encryption.

Partial Payment Information
Direct Post API

Request Details

Variable Description
partial_payment_id Unique identifier returned when making the original transaction. This should only be used for secondary transactions.
partial_payments This variable allows the following two values to be passed to it:
settle_partial: Settles any amount of tender collected (captured partial auth’s and approved partial sales) at cut off.
payment_in_full: Required that any split tendered transaction is collected in-full before settlement gets initiated.
type This variable can be passed the value ‘complete_partial_payment’ which will complete a payment_in_full transaction that has not been collected in full. This allows industries that require payment_in_full but subsequently decide to still settle the transaction even though it has not been collected in full.

Response Details

Variable Description
partial_payment_id A numeric identifier which is used when submitting subsequent transactions.
partial_payment_balance Returns the payment’s remaining balance.
amount_authorized Provides the amount that was authorized.

Examples

Example 1: In this request, if nothing more was done, a transaction for 30.00 would settle at the next cut-off.

Request …type=sale&partial_payments=settle_partial&ccnumber=4111111111111111&ccexp=1016&amount=100.00…
Response …response=1&partial_payment_id=123456789&partial_payment_balance=70.00&amount_authorized=30.00…

Example 2: In this request, payment_in_full was required and two transaction were collected – this transaction would settle at the next cut-off.

Request 1 …type=sale&partial_payments=payment_in_full&ccnumber=4111111111111111&ccexp=1016&amount=100.00…
Response 1 …response=1&partial_payment_id=123456789&partial_payment_balance=70.00&amount_authorized=30.00…
Request 2 …type=sale&partial_payment_id=123456789&partial_payments=payment_in_full&ccnumber=4000000000000002&ccexp=1016&amount=70.00…
Response 2 …response=1& partial_payment_id=123456789&partial_payment _balance=0.00&amount_authorized=70.00…

Example 3: In this example, payment_in_full was required and two transactions were attempted, but only one collected. The merchant decided to force it out anyways – this transaction would settle at the next cut-off.

Request 1 …type=sale&partial_payments=payment_in_full&ccnumber=4111111111111111&ccexp=1016&amount=100.00…

Credential on File Information
Direct Post API

Please note the below is meant to be a guide for how the platform supports CIT and MIT use cases. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of items needed in order to be compliant. For more information on CIT/MIT compliance, please consult your processor.

Credential on File regulations apply any time data is stored to process future purchases for a cardholder.

Customer vs Merchant Initiated

When a customer is actively engaged in checkout – either physical present in a store, or checking out online in their browser, that is a Customer Initiated Transaction (CIT).

When the customer isn’t actively engaged, but has given permission for their card to be charged, that is a Merchant Initiated Transaction (MIT). In order for a merchant to submit a Merchant Initiated Transaction, a Customer Initiated transaction is required first.

Overview

A cardholder’s consent is required for the initial storage of credentials. When a card is stored, an initial transaction should be submitted (Validate, Sale, or Auth) with the correct credential-on-file type. The transaction must be approved (not declined or encounter an error.) Then, store the transaction ID of the initial customer initiated transaction. The transaction ID must then be submitted with any follow up transactions (MIT or CIT.)

Credential on File types include Recurring, Installment, and Unscheduled types.

For simplicity – we are using the Direct Post API variables. These match the names of the Batch Upload, Collect.js, or the Browser Redirect APIs. The Three-Step API follows the same pattern, and the variables should be submitted on Step 1.

Request Details

Variable Description
initiated_by Who initiated the transaction.
Values: ‘customer’ or ‘merchant’
initial_transaction_id Original payment gateway transaction id.
stored_credential_indicator The indicator of the stored credential.
Values: ‘stored’ or ‘used’
Use ‘stored’ when processing the initial transaction in which you are storing a customer’s payment details (customer credentials) in the Customer Vault or other third-party payment storage system.
Use ‘used’ when processing a subsequent or follow-up transaction using the customer payment details (customer credentials) you have already stored to the Customer Vault or third-party payment storage method.

Response Details

Variable Description
cof_supported Credential on File support indicator specific to the transaction.
Values: ‘stored’ or ‘used’
Value will be ‘stored’ if CIT/MIT transaction was sent to a processor that supports the feature.
Value will be ‘used’ if CIT/MIT transaction was sent to a processor that does not support the feature or if a merchant-initiated transaction cannot occur due to Cross-Processor limitations.

Please Note: For Three-Step Redirect transactions, the request details must be sent in Step 1 and the ‘cof-supported’ element will be returned in the response of Step 3.

Recurring:

A transaction in a series of transactions that uses a stored credential and are processed at fixed, regular intervals (not to exceed one year between transactions), and represents cardholder agreement for the merchant to initiate future transactions for the purchase of goods or services provided at regular intervals.

If a customer is signing up for a recurring subscription, the merchant is expected to send “an initial recurring transaction” every time the customer signs up for a new recurring subscription.

For an initial transaction:

  • For a free trial, the initial transaction will be a validate transaction type (or auth if validate is not supported.)
  • If the customer is being charged immediately for a product, the initial transaction will be a sale or an authorization for the correct amount.

Either transaction MUST INCLUDE three items:

  • billing_method=recurring
  • initiated_by=customer
  • stored_credential_indicator=stored

Examples

Example 1: In this request, an initial recurring sale is sent and an approved transaction is returned in the response. Store this transaction for the follow up request.

Request …type=sale&billing_method=recurring&initiated_by=customer&stored_credential_indicator=stored…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567890…

The transaction ID would be stored and submitted on follow up transactions. The follow up transaction(s) would include:

  • billing_method=recurring
  • initiated_by=merchant
  • stored_credential_indicator=used
  • initial_transaction_id=XXXXXXXXXX

Example 2: In this request, the subsequent merchant initiated sale is processed using the stored transaction from Example 1.

Request …type=sale&billing_method=recurring&initiated_by=merchant&stored_credential_indicator=used&initial_transaction_id=1234567890…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567891…

Please Note: This transaction ID cannot be used for “unscheduled” or “installment” credential-on-file transactions.

Installment:

An “installment” transaction is a series of transactions that uses a stored credential and represents cardholder agreement with the merchant to initiate one or more future transactions over a period of time for a single purchase of goods or services.

Installment transactions work just like Recurring in that you need a customer initiated transaction for a subsequent installment transaction. The difference is the billing_method will be “installment”.

The customer initiated transaction MUST INCLUDE at least three items (* recommended to send, if available):

  • billing_method=installment
  • initiated_by=customer
  • stored_credential_indicator=stored
  • * billing_total
  • * billing_number (Values: 0-99)

Examples

Example 3: In this request, an initial installment sale is sent and an approved transaction is returned in the response. Store this transaction for the follow up request.

Request …type=sale&billing_method=installment&initiated_by=customer&stored_credential_indicator=stored&billing_total=100.00&billing_number=1&amount=25.00…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567890…

The transaction ID would be stored and submitted on follow up transactions. The follow up transaction(s) would include (* recommended to send, if available):

  • billing_method=installment
  • initiated_by=merchant
  • stored_credential_indicator=used
  • initial_transaction_id=XXXXXXXXXX
  • * billing_total
  • * billing_number

Example 4: In this request, the subsequent merchant initiated sale is processed using the stored transaction from Example 3.

Request …type=sale&billing_method=installment&initiated_by=merchant&stored_credential_indicator=used&initial_transaction_id=1234567890&billing_total=100.00&billing_number=1&amount=25.00…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567891…

Please Note: This transaction ID cannot be used for “unscheduled” or “recurring” card on file transactions.

Unscheduled Credential On File:

For payments that aren’t recurring or installment – there are unscheduled options as well.

The first customer initiated transaction will include these two items (no billing method):

  • initiated_by=customer
  • stored_credential_indicator=stored

Examples

Example 5: In this request, an initial unscheduled sale is sent and an approved transaction is returned in the response. Store this transaction for the follow up request.

Request …type=sale&initiated_by=customer&stored_credential_indicator=stored…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567890…

The transaction ID can be used, without a billing method, for a customer initiated or merchant initiated transaction.

Please Note: The transaction ID cannot be used for a “recurring” or “installment” transaction.

Unscheduled, Customer Initiated: A card-absent transaction initiated by the cardholder where the cardholder does not need to enter their card details as the merchant uses the payment credential previously stored by the cardholder to perform the transaction. Examples include a transaction using customer’s merchant profile or digital wallet.

This is your typical shopping cart scenario where the customer checks out without having to re-enter their card details.

The follow up transaction(s) would include:

  • initiated_by=customer
  • stored_credential_indicator=used

Example 6: In this request, a subsequent unscheduled sale is sent and an approved transaction is returned in the response.

Request …type=sale&initiated_by=customer&stored_credential_indicator=used…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567891…

Unscheduled, Merchant Initiated: A transaction using a stored credential for a fixed or variable amount that does not occur on a scheduled or regularly occurring transaction date, where the cardholder has provided consent for the merchant to initiate one or more future transactions. An example of this transaction is an account auto-top up transaction.

An example of an account auto-top up would be a customer with an account with a balance. When that balance gets low, the customer’s card is charged automatically, without the customer’s involvement.

The follow up transaction(s) would include:

  • initiated_by=merchant
  • stored_credential_indicator=used
  • initial_transaction_id=XXXXXXXXXX

Example 7: In this request, a subsequent unscheduled sale is sent and an approved transaction is returned in the response.

Request …type=sale&initiated_by=merchant&stored_credential_indicator=used&initial_transaction_id=1234567890…
Response …response=1&responsetext=Approved&transactionid=1234567892…

Appendix 1: Recommend Further Reading:

If there is any question where a transaction type falls, we recommend reviewing the official card brand documentation. Visa’s guidelines are the most stringent, and generally if you follow those guidelines, you’ll also be compliant for MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Collect.js

Documentation

Methodology

Collect.js

Overview

Collect.js is a JavaScript framework that allows merchants to collect sensitive payment information from their customers without exposing their website to the sensitive information. This can be done while allowing merchants to retain full control over the look and feel of their checkout experience.

This is a data collection and tokenization system, not a full payments API, so you can use this in conjunction with an existing transaction API (Direct Post) to submit transactions or use other gateway services that utilize payment information.

Usage

Collect.js is designed to be flexible, and its implementation can be as simple as pasting a single script tag to your checkout page, or it can be customized to interact with your website however you’d like.

Authentication

Authentication is done via a “tokenization key” that you can generate in your merchant control panel under the “Security Keys” settings page. Select “Tokenization” for the key type.

This tokenization key can only be used with Collect.js and will not work with any other APIs. Similarly, any API keys already created will not work with Collect.js.

This key will be visible to customers in your website’s source code, so please make sure you only use the tokenization key here.

The Payment Token

The Payment Token

This is a new variable added to the Direct Post API that should be used in conjunction with this tool. This is what Collect.js will return to your website and it takes the place of the sensitive card or bank account information. It will look something like this:

                
3455zJms-7qA2K2-VdVrSu-Rv7WpvPuG7s8
                
            

This variable can be used in place of the existing ccnumber, ccexp, and cvv variables we have today. For ACH transactions (details below) it can be used in place of checkname, checkaba, and checkaccount.

The payment token can only be used once, and will expire after 24 hours if it is not used at all.

The payment token will also work when adding customers to the Customer Vault or recurring subscriptions. Just use “payment_token” where you were using the credit card and ACH account information before.

For example, if you would previously send this string:

                
type=sale&amount=3.00&ccnumber=4111111111111111&ccexp=1020&cvv=123
                
            

Or:

                
type=sale&amount=3.00&checkname=Jane Doe&checkaba=123123123&checkaccount=123123123
                
            

You could now send this:

                
type=sale&amount=3.00&payment_token=3455zJms-7qA2K2-VdVrSu-Rv7WpvPuG7s8
                
            

Test Tokens

If you would like to test using the payment token without using Collect.js to create one, you can use the below tokens to return test credit card and bank account information.

Payment Token Value Test Data
00000000-000000-000000-000000000000 Card: 4111111111111111, Expiration: October 2025, CVV: 999
11111111-111111-111111-111111111111 ABA: 123123123, Account: 123123123, Name: Jane Doe

Integration Types

Integration Types

Collect.js supports two different ways to integrate with your site. Both offer the same basic functionality and security, so you can choose based on your interface and design requirements,

Lightbox Integration

The “lightbox” integration displays all sensitive payment fields in a single “pop-up” style display. All the entry and validation of payment data occurs within this single box; once valid information is provided, an event is provided for your page to capture the finished Payment Token.

Inline Integration

The “inline” integration allows you to seamlessly build Collect.js into your payment form. This solution allows you to create a payment form that looks and feels exactly like your website, but without the need for your service to handle any sensitive payment information.

This works by creating iframes on your website for each credit card or electronic check field you need your customers to fill out. Using our custom “style sniffer” these fields will typically look exactly like the other fields on the page. If you want to just style them however you want, you can do that too by passing in custom CSS.

Integration Options

Simple Implementation

Simple Lightbox Implementation

See the Simple Example for a basic web page using this implementation.

The simplest way to integrate is by pasting in the following script tag to your web page (preferably in the header) where you’ll be collecting payments:

                
<script src="https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/token/Collect.js" data-tokenization-key="your-token-key-here"></script>
                
            

With this script, you just need to add a button with the ID of “payButton” to your page inside a form where you ask for the customer’s information (name, address, email, etc.) You should make this button somewhere that indicates to the customer that they will be prompted to enter their card information and check out. Collect.js will find this button and display the below form in a lightbox over your website.

The customer will enter their card information and when they submit this mini-form, the lightbox will disappear, a hidden field will be inserted into your form with the “payment_token” value, and your form will be submitted.

You can then submit the transaction to the gateway with the Direct Post API using the “payment_token” variable.

Advanced Implementation

Advanced Lightbox Implementation

See the advanced HTML example and advanced JavaScript example files for examples.

If you want to have a little more control over the default behavior, you can pass in additional data elements in the script tag. Here’s an example using all the available variables:


<script
        src="https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/token/Collect.js"
        data-tokenization-key="your-token-key-here"
        data-payment-selector=".customPayButton"
        data-primary-color="#ff288d"
        data-theme="bootstrap"
        data-secondary-color="#ffe200"
        data-button-text="Submit the Payment"
        data-instruction-text="Enter Card Information"
        data-payment-type="cc"
        data-field-cvv-display=”hide"
></script>
                


Configuration Variables

Variable Format Behavior
data-tokenization-key String Authenticates the request
data-payment-selector String Tells Collect.js what class or id value will trigger the lightbox
Default: “#payButton”
data-primary-color String The HEX value for the color of the submit button in the lightbox
Default: “#007BFF”
data-theme String (“bootstrap” or “material”) The version of the payment form customers will see. All available themes will use the primary and secondary colors provided.
Default: “bootstrap”
data-secondary-color String The HEX value for the color of the lightbox border
Default: “#282828”
data-button-text String The text that will display on the submit button in the lightbox
Default: “Submit Payment”
data-instruction-text String The text that will display above the payment fields. Custom text should be short so as not to overlap with other elements in the lightbox.
Default: “Please enter payment info”
data-payment-type String (“cc” or “ck”) Whether the lightbox shows credit card or check fields (“cc” for credit cards or “ck” for checks)
Default: “cc”
data-field-cvv-display String (“show”, “hide”, or “required”) Whether the CVV field is required (“required”), optional (“show”), or not displayed at all (“hide”). Also supported as data-field-cvv for legacy users.
Default: “required”

Collect.js Functions

Function Name Parameters Description
configure Object Call this when you’d like to reconfigure Collect.js. Collect.js will try to run this automatically on page load, but you can run it manually to change the configuration at any time.

This method optionally accepts an object with all configuration variables you’re using for Collect.js.

startPaymentRequest Event Call this to bring up the lightbox with the secure payment form for the customer to fill out. If you are using the “payButton” ID or custom payment selector, this will automatically be called when the customer clicks that element on the page.

This method accepts an event object as an optional parameter and will call the provided callback function with a token response and the optional event.

closePaymentRequest Call this to dismiss the lightbox. This replicates the behavior of the user clicking the “close” button inside the lightbox. No card or checking information will be saved.

You may also choose to configure Collect.js directly in your JavaScript, in which case you can do all of the above, and also implement a callback function that will execute when the customer submits the lightbox form. The payment token value will be returned in a “response” variable that you can do whatever you’d like with.


{
    card: {
        number: "411111******1111",
        bin: "411111",
        exp: "1028",
        hash: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv1234567890",
    },
    check: {
        name: null,
        account: null,
        hash: null,
        aba: null,
    },
    token: "3455zJms-7qA2K2-VdVrSu-Rv7WpvPuG7s8",
    initiatedBy: Event,
}
                    


This implementation method allows for additional changes to the look and feel to better match your website’s UI

Expert Implementation

Expert Lightbox Implementation

If you have a webpage where you would like the lightbox to trigger without an element getting clicked, then you can call the following function:

                
CollectJS.startPaymentRequest(event)
                
            

This function will trigger the lightbox to show up and request payment details. If you wish to change any options, this should be done before calling this function since changes after this point wont affect the lightbox.

This function optionally receives an event object. If an event is passed into the startPaymentRequest function, that same event will exist in the callback’s response variable under “response.initiatedBy”. This can be used to track what event started the payment request and the next steps.


{
    card: {
        number: null,
        bin: null,
        exp: null,
        hash: null,
    },
    check: {
        name: "Jane Doe",
        account: "1******23",
        hash: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv1234567890",
        aba: "123123123",
    },
    token: "3455zJms-7qA2K2-VdVrSu-Rv7WpvPuG7s8",
    initiatedBy: Event,
}
                    


If you wish to close the payment request without waiting for the user to click the close button, you can call the function:

                
CollectJS.closePaymentRequest()
                
            

This function will remove the lightbox from the page. No other functions will trigger from this function being called, including the callback.

Note that this implementation also requires you to include the standard script tag on the page as well.

Inline Integration

Simple Implementation

Simple Integration Implementation

See the Simple Inline Example for a basic web page using this implementation.

While the Inline integration model offers many customizable options, you can also get started quickly with a basic form. First, install the following JavaScript on your payment form page, preferably in the HEAD element:

                
<script src="https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/token/Collect.js" data-tokenization-key="your-token-key-here" data-variant="inline"></script>
                
            

This script assumes that you’ve set up a payment form already. The form can be laid out however you’d like, but there should be block-level elements (div, for example) where the sensitive payment info will be collected. The following IDs are expected to be used in place of standard form inputs:

For Credit Card Payments

  • ccnumber (Credit card number)
  • ccexp (Credit card expiration date)
  • cvv (CVV)

For Electronic Check Payments

  • checkname (Checking account name)
  • checkaccount (Checking account number)
  • checkaba (Routing number)

This is a very basic form that has integrated Inline Collect.js.

                
<form>
    <input type="text" id="first_name">
    <input type="text" id="last_name">
    <input type="text" id="address">
    <div id="ccnumber"></div>
    <div id="ccexp"></div>
    <div id="cvv"></div>
    <input type="submit" id="payButton">
</form>
                
            

These elements will have iframes inserted into them, contents of which will be hosted by the gateway. They will be full width text fields and will use the style sniffer to match the rest of your page. The ID values let us know what field is collecting what information from the customer.

In addition to the empty fields, there must be a submit button in the form with an ID of “payButton.” When the customer clicks this to submit the form, Collect.js will collect the data from all inline iframes and submit the form with a new “payment_token” value which is an encrypted version of the payment data.

After this form is submitted to your site, you can submit the data to the gateway via the Direct Post API. For example:

                
security_key: 3456h45k6b4k56h54kj6h34kj6445hj4
type: sale
amount: 4.00
payment_token: 3455zJms-7qA2K2-VdVrSu-Rv7WpvPuG7s8
first_name: Jane
last_name: Doe
address: 123 Main St.

If the simple implementation does not give you everything you need, then you can use the advanced implementation to customize the experience more to your liking. The options available are extensive, and you may use as many or as few as you want. Below is an example of using every variable possible.

        data-timeout-duration = "2000"
        data-timeout-callback = "(function() {console.log('Timeout reached')})
        data-fields-available-callback = "(function() {console.log('Collect.js has added fields to the form')})"
        data-field-ccnumber-selector = '#demoCcnumber'

        data-field-checkaba-selector = '#demoCheckaba'
        data-field-checkaba-title = 'Routing Number'
        data-field-checkaba-placeholder = '000000000'

        data-field-checkname-placeholder = 'Customer Name'
></script>
                
            

Configuration Variables

Variable Format Behavior
data-tokenization-key String Authenticates the request
data-variant String (“inline” or “lightbox”) Whether to use “inline” or “lightbox” integration (required for inline integration)
Default: “lightbox”
data-payment-selector String Tells Collect.js what class or id value will trigger the form submission
Default: “#payButton”
data-style-sniffer String (“true” or “false”) Whether Collect.js should try to calculate the style of form fields in your current form and use that as a baseline style for the Collect.js fields (“true” to calculate style, “false” to start with unstyled text fields)
Default: “true”
data-validation-callback String A JavaScript function which will be called each time a Collect.js field attempts to validate. It will recieve three paramaters: a string indicating which field was validated (ccnum or checkname, for example), a boolean for whether or not it validated successfully, and a string which may provide more detailed information about why the validation failed. For broadest compatibility, enclose the function in parentheses like in the example above
data-custom-css JSON String The CSS rules that will be applied to the fields by default. These override anything provided through the style-sniffer, if used. The rules should be packaged as a JSON-formatted object, containing a key-value pair for each property’s name and value. Please see below for a list of the supported CSS properties
data-invalid-css JSON String The CSS rules that will be added to a field when it fails to validate. These override anything provided through the style-sniffer and the custom-css paramater, if used. The rules should be packaged as a JSON-formatted object, containing a key-value pair for each property’s name and value. Please see below for a list of the supported CSS properties
data-placeholder-css JSON String The CSS rules that will be added to a field when it’s displaying a placeholder. The rules should be packaged as a JSON-formatted object, containing a key-value pair for each property’s name and value. Please see below for a list of the supported CSS properties
data-focus-css JSON String The CSS rules that will be added to a field when it has the keyboard focus. The rules should be packaged as a JSON-formatted object, containing a key-value pair for each property’s name and value. Please see below for a list of the supported CSS properties
data-valid-css JSON String The CSS rules that will be added to a field when it successfully validates and saves. These override anything provided through the style-sniffer and the custom-css paramater, if used. The rules should be packaged as a JSON-formatted object, containing a key-value pair for each property’s name and value. Please see below for a list of the supported CSS properties
data-google-font String Directs Collect.js to load font collections available through Google Fonts. This only makes the fonts available in the fields; you must still provide (either directly or through the style sniffer) styles that specify them. List the font name, followed by a colon and the specific weights or variants needed.
Example: “Open Sans:400,700i”
data-timeout-duration Integer When form submission is triggered, Collect.js will wait only this long (in milliseconds) for payment data validation and recording to complete. If, by this time, Collect.js is still missing confirmation on vital fields, the data-timeout-callback function will be invoked
Default: “0” which disables the timeout
data-timeout-callback String A JavaScript function which gets called if data-timeout-duration has passed since we tried to submit the form, but we still haven’t confirmed that enough fields are stored with the token to make a viable payment. This allows for the site to retry submission, or ask the customer to try submission again, if an invalid entry or intermittent connection caused the data storage to fail. For broadest compatibility, enclose the function in parentheses like in the example above
Default: an internal function that displays a “Please submit the form again.” alert
data-fields-available-callback String A JavaScript function which gets called once Collect.js has installed the fields onto your page. A typical use case is to wire up event handlers to the fields when they are enterred or left. For broadest compatibility, enclose the function in parentheses like in the example above
data-field-ccnumber-selector String (CSS Selector) A CSS selector for the Credit Card Number inline field
Default: “#ccnumber”
data-field-ccnumber-title String A title for the Credit Card Number inline field
data-field-ccnumber-placeholder String Placeholder text for the Credit Card Number inline field
data-field-ccexp-selector String (CSS Selector) A CSS selector for the Credit Card Expiration Date inline field
Default: “#ccexp”
data-field-ccexp-title String A title for the Credit Card Expiration Date inline field
data-field-ccexp-placeholder String Placeholder text for the Credit Card Expiration Date inline field
data-field-cvv-display String (“show”, “hide”, or “required”) Whether the CVV field is required (“required”), optional (“show”), or not displayed at all (“hide”). If the CVV field is required, a space for it must be provided on the form. Also supported as data-field-cvv for legacy users
Default: “required”
data-field-cvv-selector String (CSS Selector) A CSS selector for the CVV inline field
Default: “#cvv”
data-field-cvv-title String A title for the CVV inline field
data-field-cvv-placeholder String Placeholder text for the CVV inline field
data-field-checkaccount-selector String (CSS Selector) A CSS selector for Checking Account Number inline field
Default: “#checkaccount”
data-field-checkaccount-title String A title for the Checking Account Number inline field
data-field-checkaccount-placeholder String Placeholder text for the Checking Account Number inline field
data-field-checkaba-selector String (CSS Selector) A CSS selector for the Checking Routing Number inline field
Default: “#checkaba”
data-field-checkaba-title String A title for the Checking Routing Number inline field
data-field-checkaba-placeholder String Placeholder text for the Checking Routing Number inline field
data-field-checkname-selector String (CSS Selector) A CSS selector for the Checking Account Name inline field
Default: “#checkname”
data-field-checkname-title String A title for the Checking Account Name inline field
data-field-checkname-placeholder String Placeholder text for the Checking Account Name inline field

Collect.js Functions

Function Name Parameters Description
configure Object Call this when you’d like to reconfigure Collect.js. Collect.js will try to run this automatically on page load, but you can run it manually to change the configuration at any time. This will draw or re-draw all iframes onto the page.

This method optionally accepts an object with all configuration variables you’re using for Collect.js.

startPaymentRequest Event Call this when you want to save the data in the iframes and get the token value in the callback.

This method accepts an event object as an optional parameter. It will call the provided callback function with a token response and the optional event.

clearInputs Call this when you want to clear whatever the user has entered into any input provided by Collect.js.

JavaScript Based Activation

You may also choose to configure Collect.js directly in your JavaScript, For this, you will typically only include the data-tokenization-key parameter in the script tag, and deploy the other options with a CollectJS.configure() call. See the Advanced Inline JavaScript Example for a demonstration with the main available options.

The CollectJS.configure function also lets you specify a callback function that will execute when the customer submits the payment form and payment info has been successfully stored. The callback takes the place of the default “add the payment token and submit the form” behavior and gets passed a “response” variable with the Payment Token. It is your responsibility to ensure this is posted to your server.

Expert Implementation

Expert Inline Implementation

Understanding the lifecycle of a Collect.js-enabled form

Each field that Collect.js supplies communicates with your Gateway independently. These fields will check the payment information, and if valid, direct the Gateway to save it, as soon as the customer exits a field. This process triggers the validation callbacks you can use to monitor the user’s progress and control their interactions with your form.

When the submit button is pressed (or CollectJS.startPaymentRequest is manually called), Collect.js directs each field to validate and save one last time. Once it gets back a notice of successful validation and saving from enough fields to make a viable payment request, it proceeds to submit the form or call an alternative callback as configured.

Once the Payment Token is used in a Direct Post request, it’s automatically destroyed. This prevents its reuse for a later unauthorized charge, but means that if you have to collect the payment information again (for example, after a declined transaction), you’re going to have to start fresh and generate a new token.

Manually Triggering Payment Information Saving

You can take control of when the final validate-and-save process is triggered. Rather than binding it explicitly to a payment button, you can call the following JavaScript function when ready.

                
CollectJS.startPaymentRequest(event)
                
            

When triggered, this causes the same behavior as pressing a payment button does by default: all the fields are told to validate and save. Once we confirm all data is stored, the callback you configured is executed.

This function optionally receives an event object. If an event is passed into the startPaymentRequest function, that same event will exist in the callback’s response variable under “response.initiatedBy”. This can be used to track what event started the recording request and the next steps.


{
    card: {
        number: null,
        bin: null,
        exp: null,
        hash: null,
    },
    check: {
        name: "Jane Doe",
        account: "1******23",
        hash: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv1234567890",
        aba: "123123123",
    },
    token: "3455zJms-7qA2K2-VdVrSu-Rv7WpvPuG7s8",
    initiatedBy: Event,
}
                    


Note that this implementation also requires you to include the standard script tag on the page as well.

The expert example shows how the process can be triggered in code.

Integration with form validation

While Collect.js doesn’t let you directly access the contents of the payment information fields, it does provide several ways to check if they contain valid content. There are two distinct ways you can access this information in your form validation code:

1. Supply a “validation-callback”

This will listen for all Collect.js validation changes. This function will get a notice about each field change, and you can keep a tally during the form’s life.

                

<script
        src="https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/token/Collect.js"
        data-tokenization-key="your-token-key-here"
        data-validation-callback="(
            function(fieldName, valid, message) {
                if (valid) {
                     ... store the fact that fieldName is valid ...
                } else {
                     ... remove fieldName from the valid list, maybe display message to the user ...
                }
            }
        )">
                
            

2. Check CSS classes.

When you start the validation process, you can see if the elements you loaded Collect.js fields into have either CollectJSValid or CollectJSInvalid elements within them. Note that blank fields, or some fields in the process or being edited or saved, will have neither set. You can decide how to handle these depending on when you’re performing the check, what field is blank or unsaved, and how that fits into your site’s flow.

                
validCardNumber = document.querySelector("#ccnumber .CollectJSValid") !== null;
validExpiration = document.querySelector("#ccexp .CollectJSValid") !== null;
validCvv = document.querySelector("#cvv .CollectJSValid") !== null;
invalidCvv = document.querySelector("#cvv .CollectJSInvalid") !== null;
blankOrUnsavedCvv = !validCvv && !invalidCvv;
                
            

Blur and Focus Events

Some styling techniques will change the classes of related elements as a user enters and leaves a form field. Google’s Material Design Components for the Web is a typical example– the label moves above the text, and an underline that’s not part of the field changes color. Collect.js exposes focus and blur events that can be used to trigger these types of effects with Collect.js fields.

Here’s a tangible example. The data-fields-available-callback code adds a listener to each Collect.js field’s blur and focus events. This listener adds or removes the active class from the nearest label. When a user enters the field, the label next to it changes from gray to bold and blue, reverting once they leave the field.

                
<script
        src="https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/token/Collect.js"
        data-tokenization-key="your-token-key-here"

    }
</style>

<div class="input-field">
    <label for="ccnumber">Card Number</label>
    <div id="ccnumber"></div>
</div>
<div class="input-field">
    <label for="ccexp">Expiration Date</label>
    <div id="ccexp"></div>
</div>
<div class="input-field">
    <label for="cvv">CVV</label>
    <div id="cvv"></div>
</div>
                
            

When the blur event is fired, it will include a detail structure with one element: empty. This tells you if the field is blank, so you can style it differently, without disclosing its contents.

Inline Integration Tips

Inline Integration Tips and Tricks

The Inline Integration system is powerful and flexible, so we’ve compiled some hints to help you make the most of it.

Styling Tips

  • If you specify the Style Sniffer option, Collect.js will first create a temporary INPUT element in the form at the location you targeted, and measure the styles from that element to model the actual field after. That means you can target individual payment fields via the CSS on your site.

    For example, you can add a special green border to just the credit card number field as follows:

                            
    <script
        src="https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/token/Collect.js"
        data-tokenization-key="your-token-key-here"
        data-style-sniffer="true"
        data-field-ccnumber-selector = '#myCcnumber'></script>
    
    <style>
        #myCcnumber input {
            border-color: green;
            border-width: 3px;
            border-style: solid;
        }
    </style>
    
    <div id="myCcnumber"></div>
                            
                        
  • Styles provided by the Style Sniffer will be overridden by ones provided in the custom-css paramater, which in turn are overridden by the ones in the invalid-css paramater

  • Collect.js lays out its fields on your form with a “width” property of 100%, and a “height” calculated to fit the field as rendered plus provided margins. If you’d like to control the width of the field, or add horizontal space around it, you can specify width and/or padding on the block-level element that the field resides in, allowing the field itself to fill it in horizontally.

  • When styling CollectJSValid and CollectJSInvalid classes in your stylesheet, remember these represent the outer edge of an iframe that contains the field. Some CSS rules may not be very visible, or could behave unexpectedly. Body and background colors are unlikely to be visible, but borders and drop shadows are good choices.

  • Payment fields have to be retrieved from the Gateway and styled, so you may briefly see a blank space in your page during the loading process. This effect can be mitigated by styling the Collect.js fields to have no border or background, and applying those style components to the div, td, or other block-level element that contains them instead.

Integration Tips

  • It’s generally good practice to only let your customer enter credit card or check information on your payment form. However, Collect.js will allow you to include both credit card and electronic check fields in your form, so you could have a token that has encrypted data for both payment types. If all required fields are present for both payment types, then submitting a transaction in the Direct Post API with this payment_token will process a credit card sale by default, discarding the check data. To use the electronic check data instead, pass the payment variable in your Direct Post request with the value check.

  • The data-google-font option takes a font string in the same format as you get from the Google Font selection tool. That rool provides a stylesheet link like

                            
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700,700i|Roboto:300,400" rel="stylesheet">
                            
                        

    The section you need is the portion after family=. and before the closing quotation mark

                            
    data-google-font="Montserrat:400,700,700i|Roboto:300,400"
                            
                        
  • If you intend to set up custom handlers for the blur or focus events, we suggest preparing a fields-available-callback function to set them up. That will ensure the events are handled as soon as the Collect.js fields are loaded into the page.

  • Defining a custom callback is a great way to integrate Collect.js into an AJAX-based purchase process. When the callback is activated, you can retrieve the payment-token and submit it with the rest of the form. confident that the payment info it represents is at least complete and sensibly formatted.

Validation Tips

  • For a smoother user experience, disable form submission until you have confirmed that the payment fields are successfully stored, as well as any other pre-transaction checks you perform. Collect.js won’t let the submission process complete until the payment information is sufficient to run a transaction, which may be surprising if a user tries to submit an incomplete or invalid form.

Overview

While our online reporting interface allows merchants to quickly and easily retrieve detailed information about past transactions, a need for additional flexibility may be required. For example, a merchant may have custom accounting software that requires up-to-date information about the settlement status of all credit card transactions every day.

This document describes how developers can query our reporting engine directly to retrieve transaction reports in a machine readable format. Once the data has been retrieved, it can then be parsed and imported into a variety of software applications.

Communication

The communication protocol used to send messages to the Payment Gateway is through the HTTP protocol over an SSL connection (HTTPS). The format you must use is name/value pairs delimited by ampersand.

URL: https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/api/query.php
Example Post Data: security_key=security_key&transaction_id=123456789

You should POST your request to the Query API. The name/value pairs that are accepted by the Payment Gateway can be found in the ‘Variables’ section of this API.

The Query API can be tested with live credentials or a dedicated test account only. Please contact your Merchant Service Provider for more information.

The Query API will respond in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).

ChipDNA Mobile EMV SDK

Overview

The ChipDNA Mobile EMV SDK for iOS and Android allows developers to create software that integrates with mobile Bluetooth payment terminals. The SDK abstracts many of the complexities of interacting with terminals so that you can focus on building great apps.

The SDK works with the following payment terminals, all of which need to be purchased through the merchant’s gateway provider.

  • Miura M010

The SDK is available for iOS and Android and can be downloaded with either of the links below. Full documentation is available in the download.

Methodology
Mobile SDK

Overview

There are two parts to the Mobile SDK, the end-to-end encryption method and the swipe device library.

End-to-End Encryption

The end-to-end encryption library allows credit card data to be encrypted on a mobile device before sending it to the Merchant’s back-end server. During the sale process, the Merchant’s server can send the encrypted card data to the Payment Gateway, where it is decrypted and treated like a normal credit card. This gives the merchant more control of mobile transactions without having to increase compliance costs.

The merchant’s encryption key is an RSA public key that is unique to them. This means that the encrypted credit card data will only be able to be used to make a transaction in that merchant’s payment gateway account. Only the Payment Gateway has access to the private key that corresponds to this public key.

Card data is encrypted using AES encryption with a new randomly generated key for every card. This key is then encrypted with the public key along with the card data. This packet (the encrypted card and AES key) is unreadable to anybody without the private key which is only known to the Payment Gateway.

Note: The public key cannot be used to decrypt an encrypted card. Once encrypted, the card is unusable except by the Gateway when it processes the payment for the merchant. For this reason, there is no need to keep the public key a secret.

Swipe Device Library

This library supports the encrypted card readers supported by the payment gateway. This includes parsing the data and notifying you when a card reader is connected, disconnected, ready to receive a swipe, etc.

Using the Library
Mobile SDK: Android

Creating a Project

The fastest way to get started is to check out the Client Encryption Example project that can be downloaded from the downloads section. Or if you prefer to create your own project, use these steps:

    These directions are specific to Android Studio.

  1. Download and extract the zip file from the integration section of the Payment Gateway.
  2. In Android Studio’s Quick Start menu, select ‘Start a new Android Studio project’.
  3. Add SDK to project
    1. In the Project view(Alt + F1), select Project in the drop down menu instead of Android on top of the side-bar.
    2. Copy and paste the SDK into the libs folder underneath app.
  4. Modify gradle build file.
    1. Open build.gradle file located in the app directory.
    2. Add the following code snippet:
      repositories {
          flatDir {
              dirs 'libs'
          }
      }
    3. In the dependencies section, add this code(replace {applicationId} with the applicationId in your default config):
      compile '{applicationId}:payment:gateway@aar'

Network Usage Note

You may notice the library attempting to connect to IDTECH’s website to download a file. Since the audio jack capabilities of different Android devices vary, the IDTECH Shuttle’s library uses different communication settings for each supported device. IDTECH frequently updates a list of the supported devices and the communication settings for each which the library may attempt to download from IDTECH. Internet permission is required.

Android

End-to-End Encryption
Mobile SDK: Android

Acquiring a Public Key

  1. After logging into the Payment Gateway, navigate to Settings -> Security Keys -> View Mobile SDK Key. You can click on the Java example button to get a version that can easily be copied and pasted into your project.

  2. Use the Query API. In order to get the public key, you will need to use ‘report_type=sdk_key’. The key will be returned in the <sdk_key> tag.

Encrypting a Card

The following is an example of the entire encryption process:

import com.SafeWebServices.PaymentGateway.PGEncrypt;

PGEncrypt pg = new PGEncrypt();
Pg. setKey(
    "***999|MIIEEjCCA3ugAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADCBvTELMAkGA1UEBh"
    "MCVVMxETAPBgNVBAgTCElsbGlub2lzMRMwEQYDVQQHEwpTY2hhdW1idXJnMRgwFg"
                    [Several lines omitted]
    "cNAQEEBQADgYEAKY8xYc91ESNeXZYTVxEsFA9twZDpRjSKShDCcbutgPlC0XcHUt"
    "a2MfFPsdgQoq0I8y1nEn1qJiOuEG1t9Uwux4GAvAPzsWSsKyKQkZhqxrxkJUB39K"
    "Pg57pPytfJnlQTgYiSrycCEVHdDvhk92X7K2cab3aVV1+j0rKlR/Sy6b4=***");


PGKeyedCard cardData = new PGKeyedCard(cardNumber, expiration, cvv);
Boolean includeCVV = true;
String encryptedCardData = pg.encrypt(cardData, includeCVV);

In this example, ‘encryptedCardData’ would now contain a string that can be passed to the Payment Gateway in place of credit card information. The parameter name to use when passing this value is ‘encrypted_payment’.

For example, a simple DirectPost API string would look something like this:

(This example assumes your Merchant server is running a PHP script that has received the encrypted card data through a POST parameter called ‘cardData’.)


//Business logic, validation, etc.  When ready to process the payment...
$cardData = $_POST['cardData'];
$postString = "security_key=6457Thfj624V5r7WUwc5v6a68Zsd6YEm&type=sale&amount=1.00&encrypted_payment=$cardData";

//Post to Gateway            

We suggest using POST instead of GET to reduce the possibility of the data being kept in a log file. For more information on how to communicate with the Payment Gateway, see the API documentation.

Android

Swipe Devices
Mobile SDK: Android

Permissions

You will need to grant the application multiple permissions in order to use a swipe device. This can be done by modifying the manifest file by adding:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

In the class that intends to handle swipe events, add a PGSwipeController property called swipeController, and then in your init function, initialize the object with this line:

//This example is for the iPS Encrypted Mobile Card ReaderswipeController = new PGSwipeController(this, PGSwipeDevice.SwipeDevice.IPS);

If you want to change the default settings, you can change them now. Here are some examples:

swipeController.getDevice().setSwipeTimeout(30);
swipeController.getDevice().setAlwaysAcceptSwipe(false);
swipeController.getDevice().setActivateReaderOnConnect(false);

Your class will have to implement the PGSwipeListener protocol. If you are only interested in knowing when a card is swiped, you can safely leave every other event handler empty, as shown here (or add your own code to, for example, display an image indicating that the swipe reader is ready for a swipe). In this example, when the swipe is received, the card data is saved in a property (swipedCard) for eventual transmission to the Gateway (not shown), and two TextView variables (cardNumberField and expirationField) are set to show the masked card number and expiration date. If a bad swipe occurs, onSwipedCard is still called, but “card” will be null.

@Override
public void onDeviceConnected(final PGSwipeDevice device)
{
}
@Override
Public void onDeviceDisconnected(final PGSwipeDevice device)
{
}

@Override
public void onDeviceActivationFinished(final PGSwipeDevice device)
{
}
@Override
public void onDeviceDeactivated(final PGSwipeDevice device)
{
}
@Override
public void onDeviceReadyForSwipe(final PGSwipeDevice device)
{
}
@Override
public void onDeviceUnreadyForSwipe(final PGSwipeDevice device,
    PGSwipeDevice.ReasonUnreadyForSwipe reason)
{
}
@Override
public void onSwipedCard(final PGSwipedCard card, final PGSwipeDevice device)
{
    if (card != null) {
      this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
          TextView cardNumberField = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.cardNumber);
        cardNumberField.setText((CharSequence)card.getMaskedCardNumber());
        }
      }
    } else {
        //A null card means that there was a swipe but it was unsuccessful.    }
}

Classes Overview
Mobile SDK: Android

PGEncrypt

The PGEncrypt class contains all necessary to encrypt data to be sent to the payment gateway. Merchants wanting to send transaction data to their servers before processing the transaction will want to use this method in order to prevent their server from touching sensitive data.

  • void setKey(String key)

    This method takes in the public key and sets it to be used with the encrypt method.

  • String encrypt(String plaintext)

Using the Library
Mobile SDK: iOS

Creating a Project

The fastest way to get started is to check out the PaymentGatewayEncryptionExample and PaymentGatewaySwipeExample projects that can be downloaded from the Payment Gateway’s Integration section. If you prefer to create your own project instead, use these steps (current as of Xcode 6.0):

  1. Download the Mobile SDK .zip file from the Integration Portal by using the “Downloads” link under the Mobile SDK section. This file contains both the iOS and Android libraries.
  2. Create a new Xcode Project.
  3. Add PGMobileSDK.a and PGMobileSDK directory containing the headers to your project. These are found in the .zip file under Apple iOS -> Payment Gateway SDK.
  4. Under the project’s Build Phases settings, add these libraries to the Link Binary With Libraries section:
    • AudioToolbox.framework
    • AVFoundation.framework
    • ExternalAccessory.framework
    • MediaPlayer.framework
    • Security.framework
    • CoreBluetooth.framework
    • libc++.tbd
    • PGMobileSDK.a
  5. (Optional – see note below) – In your Info.plist, add a row for “Supported external accessory protocols”, and add “com.gatewayprocessingservices.iprocess” as Item 0. This enables connection to the iDynamo swipe reader.

Note: You may wish to skip step 5 if you do not need to support the iDynamo. Apple requires manufacturers of accessories that use the dock connector to add your app to their product plan before approving your app for the app store. You will need to contact MagTek in order to have your app added to their product plan. Contact MagTek for more details.

Viewing documentation in Xcode

Adding the doc set to Xcode allows the most up-to-date, relevant documentation to appear in the IDE as you type. To enable access to the SDK documentation from inside Xcode:

  1. Under the Xcode menu, click Preferences
  2. Navigate to the Downloads page
  3. On the Documentation tab, click Add.
  4. On the “Enter a doc set feed URL” window that pops up, enter: https://secure.safewebservices.com/merchants/resources/integration/docset/iOSSDK.atom
  5. Click Add
  6. Click the newly-added install button

Important Info About the App Store

The Apple App Store’s current policy is to require mobile apps to purchase digital goods (e.g. downloadable content, etc.) through the App Store. For that reason, this SDK is intended only for use in apps selling real-world goods and services. Please direct questions about Apple’s App Store policies to Apple. Their policies are subject to change at their discretion.

End-to-End Encryption
Mobile SDK: iOS

Acquiring a Public Key

  1. After logging into the Payment Gateway, navigate to Settings->Security Keys->View Mobile SDK Key. You can click on the Objective-C example link to get a version that can easily be copied and pasted into your project.

  2. Use the Query API. In order to get the public key, you will need to use ‘report_type=sdk_key’. The key will be returned in the <sdk_key> tag.

Encrypting a Card

#import "PGEncrypt.h"
#import "PGCards.h"

PGEncrypt encryption = [[PGEncrypt alloc] init];
[encryption setKey:
    @"***999|MIIEEjCCA3ugAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADCBvTELMAkGA1UEBh"
    "MCVVMxETAPBgNVBAgTCElsbGlub2lzMRMwEQYDVQQHEwpTY2hhdW1idXJnMRgwFg"
                    [Several lines omitted]
    "cNAQEEBQADgYEAKY8xYc91ESNeXZYTVxEsFA9twZDpRjSKShDCcbutgPlC0XcHUt"
    "a2MfFPsdgQoq0I8y1nEn1qJiOuEG1t9Uwux4GAvAPzsWSsKyKQkZhqxrxkJUB39K"
    "Pg57pPytfJnlQTgYiSrycCEVHdDvhk92X7K2cab3aVV1+j0rKlR/Sy6b4=***"];


PGCard *cardData = [[PGKeyedCard alloc] initWithCardNumber:cardNumberField.text
                                            expirationDate:expirationField.text
                                                       cvv:cvvField.text];

NSString *encryptedCardData = [encryption encrypt:cardData includeCVV:NO];

encryptedCardData will contain a string that can be passed to the Payment Gateway in place of credit card information. The parameter name to use when passing this value through DirectPost is “encrypted_payment”. For example, a simple DirectPost API string would look something like this:

(This example assumes your Merchant server is running a PHP script that has received the encrypted card data through a POST parameter called ‘cardData’.)


//Business logic, validation, etc.  When ready to process the payment...
$cardData = $_POST['cardData'];
$postString = "security_key=6457Thfj624V5r7WUwc5v6a68Zsd6YEm&type=sale&amount=1.00&encrypted_payment=$cardData";

//Post to Gateway            

For more information on how to communicate with the Payment Gateway, see the API documentation.

Swipe Devices
Mobile SDK: iOS

Creating the Controller

In the class that intends to handle swipe events, create a PGSwipeController object in your init method. Initialize the object with one of these lines to support specific readers:

swipeController = [[PGSwipeController alloc] initWithDelegate:self audioReader:AudioJackReaderIpsEnterprise];
swipeController = [[PGSwipeController alloc] initWithDelegate:self audioReader:AudioJackReaderUnimag];

Only a single model of audio jack-connected reader can be enabled at a time. The audioReader parameter allows you to choose which type you want to allow. See the PGSwipeController’s initWithDelegate:audioReader: documentation for more details.

Your class will have to implement the PGSwipeDelegate protocol. If you are only interested in knowing when a card is swiped, you can safely leave every other event handler empty, as shown here (or add your own code to, for example, display an image indicating that the swipe reader is ready for a swipe). In this example, when the swipe is received, the card data is saved in a property (swipedCard) for eventual transmission to the Gateway (not shown), and two UITextField properties (cardNumberField and expirationField) are set to show the masked card number and expiration date.

If a bad swipe occurs, didSwipeCard:device: may still be called, but “card” will be nil. An error message is displayed in this example. Note: Not all card reader models give feedback when a bad swipe is received.

-(void)deviceConnected:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender
{

-(void)deviceDisconnected:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender

{
    if (card != nil) {

        swipedCard = [card retain];

        cardNumberField.text = card.maskedCardNumber;
        expirationField.text = card.expirationDate;

    } else {

        //A nil card means that there was a swipe but it was unsuccessful.
        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Swipe Error"
                                                        message:@"The reader was not able to read the card. Please Try Again."
                                                       delegate:nil
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];

        [alert release];
    }

Classes Overview
Mobile SDK: iOS

PGSwipeController

The PGSwipeController contains a set of swipe reader classes that control individual swipe readers. This is the main Mobile Swipe SDK class required for using swipe devices, intended to be instantiated near the app’s startup. The delegate you set on the PGSwipeController is the object that will receive all of the SDK’s swipe events.

Through this class, you can access the controller classes for individual swipe device types (PGSwipeIpsEnterprise * ipsEnterpriseReader, PGSwipeIDynamo *iDynamoReader, and PGSwipeUniMag *uniMagReader).

You should be sure to call initWithDelegate rather than the parameterless init because during initialization a check is made to see if any devices are already connected and sends a deviceConnected event if they are. If the parameterless init is used, the initial connection message will be missed.

  • -(id)initWithDelegate:(id<PGSwipeDelegate>)delegate audioReader:(AudioJackReaderType)readerType

    Initializes the PGSwipeController and the individual swipe reader classes. Init checks if any devices are connected and sends a deviceConnected event if they are, so initWithDelegate: should always be used rather than init to ensure that a connection event is received if the device is already connected.

    The audioReader: parameter selects which type of audio jack-connected card reader to enable. Only one type of audio jack-connected reader can be used at a time to prevent more than one device library from attempting to access the audio system at the same time. AudioJackReaderIpsEnterprise enables the IPS Enterprise Encrypted Card Reader library, and AudioJackReaderUnimag enables the Shuttle library. You may also select AudioJackReaderNone to disable both libraries, or AudioJackReaderAutodetectOnConnect to allow the SDK to attempt to determine the type on connection. Autodetection has several drawbacks. See PGSwipeController beginAutodetectAudioJackCardReader for more information.

  • -(void)setAudioJackReaderType:(AudioJackReaderType)audioJackReaderType messageOptions:(PGSwipeUniMagMessageOptions *)messageOptions

    Sets the enabled audioJackReaderType. This can be used to enable support for either the IPS Enterprise Encrypted Card Reader or the UniMag (Shuttle) reader. Since the underlying libraries may not always unload cleanly, you should avoid calling this repeatedly to change the supported device type. Doing so could cause the reader to malfunction or be damaged. Setting this to AudioJackReaderAutodetectOnConnect will disable any currently selected audioJackReaderType and autodetect upon device connection.

    messageOptions will be used only when audioJackReaderType is AudioJackReaderUnimag to replace the default message options. For any other AudioJackReaderType, or to use the default message options for AudioJackReaderUnimag, this should be nil.

  • -(void)beginAutodetectAudioJackCardReader;

    Asynchronously attempts to detect the card reader type currently attached to the audio jack.

    A communication test is first attempted for an IPS Enterprise reader, then an attempt is made to power up a UniMag (Shuttle) card reader. If either test succeeds, the audioJackReaderType is set to the correct value, and the device will be made ready for use. The result of the autodetect is reported to the delegate through deviceAutodetectComplete:.

    Note: All tests produce very loud tones through the audio jack. If speakers or headphones are attached, the tones would be unpleasant to the user. It is recommended that the user be warned and allowed to remove headphones before calling this function. This library suppresses user notifications from the UniMag reader during autodetect.

    Because the device is powered up in order to test it, you will not receive connection / activation / ready for swipe events during detection. When your delegate receives its deviceAutodetectComplete message, check the isConnected, isActive, and isReadyForSwipe properties for its current state and to complete any initialization.

    In order to detect the devices, all of the underlying card reader libraries must be loaded. Under some circumstances, these libraries may not unload cleanly, resulting in unreliable use of the card reader. Autodetect is also a very slow process. For these reasons, you should not rely on autodetection for each use of the app.

    Because communication through the audio jack is not always perfect, autodetect does not always return a correct result. The most common failure type is returning CardReaderAutodetectResultFail even though a supported device is connected.

    If it is known in advance which card reader type will be used, that type should be specified when initializing the PGSwipeController. If multiple devices must be supported, it is strongly recommended that the result of the autodetect be saved (e.g. in NSUserDefaults) and re-used on app startup.

PGSwipeDevice

The PGSwipeDevice class represents the functionality that is common to the swipe reader devices.

A PGSwipeDevice object is passed along with every event generated by the swipe devices to allow you to identify the device type and access device-specific features by casting to the specific swipe type.

  • bool isConnected

    True when the reader is physically attached to the device.

  • bool isActivated

    True when the reader is powered up / initialized.

  • bool isReadyForSwipe

    True when the reader is able to accept card swipes from the user.

  • id<PGSwipeDelegate>delegate

    Sets the delegate that will receive the device’s events. You should not set the delegate directly. Setting the delegate on the PGSwipeController sets the delegate for each of its members.

PGSwipeDelegate

The PGSwipeDelegate protocol must be implemented by the class that intends to receive swipe reader events. The following event handlers will need to be implemented.

  • -(void)didSwipeCard:(PGSwipedCard *)card device:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender

    This event is sent whenever the user swipes a card. Normally “card” will be either a PGEncryptedSwipedCard or PGMagnesafeSwipedCard (depending on the swipe reader) with track data, masked card number, expiration date, and cardholder name. If the swiped card cannot be read, “card” will be nil.

  • -(void)deviceBecameReadyForSwipe:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender

    This event is sent when isReadyForSwipe becomes true. Between this event and the receipt of deviceBecameUnreadyForSwipe, any swipe should produce a didSwipeCard event.

  • -(void)deviceBecameUnreadyForSwipe:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender
    reason:(SwipeReasonUnreadyForSwipe)reason

    This event is sent when isReadyForSwipe becomes false. There are many reasons the reader could become unready to receive swipe events, e.g. the swipe request times out, the device is disconnected, etc. Check the value of “reason” to determine the cause.

    On Shuttle readers, if you have set the device to alwaysAcceptSwipe, the reason may be set to SwipeReasonUnreadyForSwipeRefreshing. In that case, there is no need to request a new swipe. The “unready” state is momentary while the device automatically renews after a timeout, swipe, or other event.

  • -(void)deviceConnected:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender;

    Occurs when the reader is physically connected to the device. With audio-port connected devices, this event can be sent when the user attaches headphones.

  • -(void)deviceDisconnected:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender;

    Occurs when the reader is physically disconnected from the device. With audio-port connected devices, this event can be sent when the user detaches headphones.

  • -(void)deviceActivationFinished:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender
    result:(SwipeActivationResult)result;

    Occurs when the device has finished an attempt to power up/initialize. This may occur at the same time as deviceConnected or later, depending on the device and settings. See the individual device documentation for specifics.

    Receiving this event does not mean the initialization succeeded. Be sure to check the value of “result” to verify that it is SwipeActivationResultSuccess.

  • -(void)deviceDeactivated:(PGSwipeDevice *)sender;

    Occurs when the device has powered down. This may occur when the device is disconnected or, for certain swipe readers, when you make a call to power down the device.

  • -(void)deviceAutodetectStarted;

    Occurs when an attempt to detect the type of an audio jack-connected card reader has started. This can be triggered by a manual call to PGSwipeController beginAutodetectAudioJackCardReader or automatically when the PGSwipeController is in AudioReaderAutodetectOnConnect mode and an object is attached to the audio jack by the user.

  • -(void)deviceAutodetectComplete:(CardReaderAutodetectResult)result;

    Occurs when an attempt to detect the type of an audio jack-connected card reader has finished. The result may be CardReaderAutodetectResultIpsEnterprise, CardReaderAutodetectResultUniMag, or CardReaderAutodetectResultFail if the type could not be determined.

    When this message is received, the PGSwipeController’s audioJackReaderType will have been set to the appropriate value and the card reader will be activated. Since the device is powered up while autodetecting, no events for connection, activation, or readyForSwipe will be received. Check the isConnected, isActivated, and isReadyForSwipe properties to determine the device’s state.

PGSwipeIpsEnterprise

This class is the interface to the IPS Enterprise Encrypted Card Reader. It is not intended to be instantiated directly. Instantiate a PGSwipeController instead. The PGSwipeController will create a PGSwipeIpsEnterprise instance to interact with the IPS Enterprise device.

  • id delegate;

    Gets or sets the delegate that will receive events. You should not set this directly. When the PGSwipeController’s delegate is set, it will pass it through to this delegate.

  • -(void)shutdown;

    Closes the card reader’s connections and disables event handling to allow it to be deallocated. You should not call this directly. It is called by the PGSwipeController when necessary.

  • -(void)beginTestCommunication(id)delegate;

    Asynchronously sends a communication test message to the card reader device and waits for a response. This can be used to detect whether the connected device is an IPS Enterprise Encrypted Card Reader. A message is sent via the audio jack and if no response is received from the device within 5 seconds, the attached object is assumed not to be an IPS Enterprise reader. Note that calling this will produce a short, loud tone through the audio jack if headphones are attached.

    The result is returned to the delegate by calling ipsEnterpriseCommunicationTestCompleteWithResult:(BOOL)succes with success set to YES or NO, depending on if a response was sent by the device.

PGSwipeIDynamo

This class is the interface to the iDynamo reader. It is not intended to be instantiated directly. Instantiate a PGSwipeController instead. The PGSwipeController will create a PGSwipeIDynamo instance to interact with the iDynamo device.

The iDynamo has no configurable options. When the device is attached, it is active and ready for swipe. The only property for the PGSwipeIDynamo class is a delegate to receive events, which should not be set directly. When the delegate is set for the PGSwipeController, the same delegate is passed to the PGSwipeIDynamo instance it contains.

PGSwipeUniMag

This class is the interface to the IDTECH Shuttle reader. It is not intended to be instantiated directly. Instantiate a PGSwipeController instead. The PGSwipeController will create a PGSwipeUniMag instance to interact with the Shuttle device.

There are several flags and methods available for the Shuttle. For an app that does not need much specific control of the swipe device and is mostly interested in the swipe event, the defaults can be kept and the device will power up and become ready for swipe when attached.

  • id delegate;

    Gets or sets the delegate that will receive events. You should not set this directly. When the PGSwipeController’s delegate is set, it will pass it through to this delegate.

  • PGSwipeUniMagMessageOptions *messageOptions;

    Contains a set of options for interactions with the user, e.g. whether to prompt before powering up the Shuttle and the text of error messages. See the PGSwipeUniMagMessageOptions section for specific settings.

  • BOOL activateReaderOnAttach;

    If this is true, the SDK will attempt to power-up the reader when attachment is detected. There are 3 things to be aware of:

    1. If the user attaches headphones to the mobile device, it will be treated as a swipe reader and an attempt to power it up will be made.
    2. Before the attempt to activate the reader, if messageOptions.activateReaderWithoutPromptingUser is set to false (it is false by default), the user will receive a prompt asking to confirm activation. If they decline, no activation will be attempted.
    3. If you call powerDown to deactivate the device, leaving activateReaderOnAttach set to true will cause the device to immediately power back up.
  • BOOL automaticallySetVolumeToMaxOnActivate;

    If this is set to true, the device’s volume will be set to maximum immediately before any attempt to power on the reader. Since the reader requires full volume to activate, this defaults to true and should normally remain true.

  • BOOL alwaysAcceptSwipe;

    The Shuttle does not accept swipes from the user unless a swipe has been requested. If alwaysAcceptSwipe is true, the SDK will immediately request a swipe and renew the request any time the old swipe request times out or ends. You will still receive periodic didBecomeUnreadyForSwipe: messages, but the reason will be SwipeReasonUnreadyForSwipeRefreshing to indicate that you should be receiving a didBecomeReadyForSwipe: message immediately after without any interaction.

    The mobile device’s battery may deplete faster if the swipe reader is always awaiting a swipe. If battery life is a concern, consider setting this to false and using requestSwipe when a swipe is expected, or only setting alwaysAcceptSwipe to true when a swipe is expected.

    If alwaysAcceptSwipe is true, you should not use requestSwipe or cancelSwipeRequest. By default, alwaysAcceptSwipe is true.

  • -(void)powerUpDevice:(BOOL)powerUp;

    Powers up the reader if powerUp is true or cancels a power up if powerUp is false. If activateReaderOnAttach is true, this is called automatically after connection to power up the device. If you wish to only power up the device after user interaction, you should wait until a deviceConnected: event is received, then call powerUpDevice:YES when they choose to power up. This should only be used if activateReaderOnAttach is false.

  • -(void)powerDown;

    Powers down the reader. This may extend mobile device battery life. A deviceConnected event will be received after shut-down, which will trigger a power-up if activateReaderOnAttach is true, so be sure to set activateReaderOnAttach to false before powering down. It is not necessary to power down the reader before disconnecting it from the device.

  • -(void)requestSwipe;

    Starts listening for swipe events. You will never need to call this if you set alwaysAcceptSwipe to true (it is true by default). After receipt of a didBecomeUnreadyForSwipe message, you may request a new swipe (unless the reason is SwipeUnreadyForSwipeReasonRefreshing). The request will timeout after 20 seconds, or the amount of time you set in setSwipeTimeoutDuration:.

  • -(void)cancelSwipeRequest;

    Cancels a swipe request to stop listening for swipe events. You should not use this if you did not manually start the swipe request with a call to requestSwipe.

  • -(void)setSwipeTimeoutDuration:(int)seconds;

    Sets the time between requestSwipe and when swipes will no longer be accepted. Default and maximum are 20 seconds. The minimum is 3 seconds. This still applies even if alwaysAcceptSwipe is true, but the swipe request will be automatically renewed in that case.

PGSwipeUniMagMessageOptions

This class contains a set of user-interaction options for the Shuttle device.

  • BOOL activateReaderWithoutPromptingUser;

    If this is set to true (false by default), the reader is activated automatically immediately after you receive a deviceConnected: event. If this is false, you will need to call powerUpDevice: during or after the deviceConnected event to power the device or cancel powering up.

  • BOOL showInitializingReaderMessage;

    If true, an “Initializing Card Reader…” alert is shown while the reader powers up and is dismissed once power-up completes.

  • NSString *cardReaderActivationPrompt;

    Gets or sets the prompt that will be displayed to confirm that the user would like to power up the reader. If you change this prompt, you should also change cardReaderActivationAtMaxVolumePrompt. Note: an activation prompt is only shown before activation if messageOptions.activateReaderWithoutPromptingUser is false. This message is meant to include a warning to indicate that the volume will be set to max. If automaticallySetVolumeToMaxOnActivate is false, cardReaderActivationAtMaxVolumePrompt is shown instead of this.

  • NSString *cardReaderActivationAtMaxVolumePrompt;

    Gets or sets the prompt that will be displayed to confirm that the user would like to power up the reader. If you change this prompt, you should also change cardReaderActivationPrompt. Note: an activation prompt is only shown before activation if messageOptions.activateReaderWithoutPromptingUser is false. If automaticallySetVolumeToMaxOnActivate is true and the volume is not at maximum, cardReaderActivationPrompt is shown instead of this.

  • NSString *cardReaderTimeoutMessage;

    Gets or sets the alert that is shown if the reader times out while attempting to power up. If you prefer to handle this differently, set this message to nil to prevent it from being shown, then handle the activationDidComplete:result: message with a result of SwipeActivationResultTimeout.

  • NSString *volumeTooLowMessage;

Mobile SDK

Supported Devices

IPS Enterprise and IPS Encrypted Card Readers

The IPS devices are audio jack-connected card readers. Unlike the IDTECH Shuttle, these readers are powered by an internal battery. The IPS devices have a fast startup time and do not produce a constant tone through the audio jack.

Because the IPS devices connect through the audio port and there is no way to immediately detect the device type, you will receive a deviceConnected: event even if the user has only plugged in headphones. Since there is no activation with the IPS devices, a deviceActivated: and deviceBecameReadyForSwipe: will also be sent immediately. In order to be sure that the device is an IPS Enterprise or IPS, the PGSwipeIpsEnterprise and PGSwipeIps provide a beginTestCommunication: method you can use to attempt to communicate with the devices. Success is returned when the device has been successfully identified. This is not done by default to eliminate a delay before the device becomes active.

Both Android and iOS SDKs support the iPS Enterprise Encrypted Card Reader and the UniMag Card Reader. The legacy iPS Encrypted Reader is only supported on Android.

iDynamo

The iDynamo connects to the mobile device via Apple’s dock connector and is only compatible with iOS devices that use the older 30-pin (non-Lightning) dock connector.

When physically attached, the iDynamo is almost immediately ready to receive swipe events. When connected, the Swipe Delegate should expect a deviceConnected: message, immediately followed by a deviceActivationFinished: message, then a deviceBecameReadyForSwipe: message.

When the device is physically detached, the delegate receives the events in reverse order, i.e. deviceBecameUnreadyForSwipe:, deviceDeactivated:, deviceDisconnected:.

App Store: To support the iDynamo on an app distributed through the App Store, Apple may require you to contact MagTek for information before they will process your submission. To disable iDynamo support, do not add it to “Supported external accessory protocols” in your info.plist. You will still receive connect and disconnect events, but activation will fail, so be sure to check if the sending device is the iDynamo object and ignore it if so.

Known Issue with the iDynamo: There is an issue with device disconnection with the iDynamo and iOS’s ExternalAccessory framework. Upon disconnection, the stream communicating with the device is closed, during which you may receive the warning: [NSCondition dealloc]: condition (<NSCondition: 0x1d54ce90> ‘(null)’) deallocated while still in use. After reconnecting, a later disconnect may randomly cause the app to crash with an attempt to send a message to the deallocated instance. This does not occur frequently, and is more likely to occur when rapidly opening and closing the application (which sends a disconnect followed by a reconnect when the app re-opens). This issue is with Apple’s accessory-handling framework. Apple is aware of the issue and may fix it in a future iOS release.

IDTECH Shuttle

The Shuttle (referred to in code as a UniMag device) is an audio jack-connected card reader. It is powered by a tone from the iPod / iPad / mobile phone. Before the Shuttle can receive swipes, it must be powered up.

Because the Shuttle connects through the audio port and there is no way to detect the device type until the device is activated, you will receive deviceConnected events whenever any device is attached to that port. For example, if the user attaches headphones, you will receive a connection event from the Mobile SDK.

The Mobile SDK can be configured to automatically attempt to power on the swipe reader immediately (this is the default), or you can disable the automatic activation and only activate the device when desired (e.g. on a payment screen, or when the user clicks a button).

Important: When powering on the device, the audio volume must be at maximum (done automatically by default). The tone generated through the audio port to activate the device can be very painful to a listener if they have connected speakers or headphones. For this reason, swipeController.uniMagReader.messageOptions.activateReaderWithoutPromptingUser is set to NO by default, causing the SDK to prompt the user for confirmation before activating the reader.

The Shuttle saves battery by only allowing swipes when a swipe has been requested, and a timeout occurs if a swipe is not received quickly enough (20 seconds by default). For simplicity, the SDK defaults to automatically requesting a swipe on activation and continuously renewing the swipe request. If you have issues with battery life, you can set swipeController.uniMagReader.alwaysAcceptSwipe to NO and manually call [swipeController.uniMagReader requestSwipe] when ready for a swipe.

Button Types

  • Shopping Cart Button:
    Will connect products built with this button type so customers can add several products to the cart system. Also supports Recurring Billing.
  • Fixed Price Button:
    Does not connect to the ‘Shopping Cart’ system and will only process one item at a time.
  • Donation/Payment Button:
    Allows the customer to enter an amount and checkout.

Adding Buttons to Your Site

HTML

QuickClick buttons can be added to your website using an HTML form. This form can be created using our Button Generator or using the values found in the ‘Variables’ section. The form should use the “POST” method and the action should be https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/cart/cart.php.

Link Alternative

Some websites do not allow for entry of HTML, and can sometimes act finicky. If this is the case with your website, you have the option of using the Link Alternative which can be pasted on your website as a link. The only way to create this link is by using the Button Generator.

Please note that use of this link will nullify any shopping cart product options or text input (amount) fields as these options appear alongside the HTML button.

IFrame Support

Please note that QuickClick is NOT supported via iframes as there are documented browser bugs (notably in Safari) that do not allow the user to view QuickClick due to Safari’s documented blocking of third party cookies.

Variables
QuickClick

All Buttons

Name Value: Description
action show_cart: Displays the customer’s shopping cart.
process_cart: Adds one or more products to the customer’s cart.
process_variable: This processes a variable amount transaction. During the checkout process, the cardholder is given the ability to specify the amount. This is useful for donations.
process_fixed: This processes a fixed amount, single item transaction. This is basically a “Buy Now” type transaction. The customer is not able to specify an amount during checkout.
username Specifies a merchant username. Either this or a key_id is required. Using a key_id method is the preferred.
key_id Specifies a development key id. Either this or username is required, this method is preferred.
hash The hash field is used to pass a verification hash. By using a verification hash, you can ensure that no one will be able to pass an unauthorized price, SKU, shipping price, or tax information.
product_taxable_# Controls whether the product will be affected by the tax rates configured in your QuickClick tax options. Set this to ‘0’ or ‘false’ to ensure that a customer doesn’t get charged taxes on a product/service. The default is true.’
order_description Specifies a description for the product.
currency Applies to USD and CAD currencies only. The currency is included with the hash, so it will need to be hashed outside of the button generator, or hashing will need to be turned off.
language Specifies the language to be used for the cart and checkout webpages. Current valid values are ‘en’ for English and ‘es’ for Spanish.
url_finish Specifies a page that the customer should be sent to after finishing their order. This page will receive several pieces of information concerning the completed order. If you have some programming knowledge, you can have your page process and store this information. The information can be useful for order fulfillment, amongst other things. Please ensure URLs are fully qualified (example: http://www.example.com).
return_link Used in place of url_finish in order to skip the QuickClick receipt page. Value should be the url to your own receipt/thank you page.
return_method Used to skip the QuickClick receipt page. Value should equal “redirect”
profile Specify the profile the button should use.
customer_receipt Specifies whether to email the customer a receipt after their transaction is complete. If multiple customer email receipts exist, the name of the desired receipt can be passed as the value, otherwise ‘true’ should be passed.
merchant_receipt_email Specifies a list of email addresses to send merchant receipts to. Our system will send merchant receipts to all of the specified recipients in addition to any users that are configured to receive transaction receipts in the Merchant Control Panel. If there are multiple recipients, separate them with a comma. You can also set this to ‘false’ if you do not want any merchant receipts to be sent.
merchant_defined_field_# A merchant defined field can be used to pass any type of information you’d like. For example, if you wish the user to specify their mother’s maiden name, you could use a merchant defined field. This information shows up in reports and customer/merchant receipts. The # can be any number 1-20. Descriptions for the merchant defined fields can be set within the Merchant Control Panel’s ‘Gateway Options’.
shipping_same Indicates whether the shipping information is the same as the billing information. The default setting is 1 (true). Set this to 0 to always ask the customer for separate shipping information. If you plan on passing other shipping_ parameters (i.e. shipping_first_name), ensure that you set this to 0. For additional options regarding the Shipping Address, examine the QuickClick Customer Information Options in your Merchant Control Panel.
first_name The customer’s first name.
last_name The customer’s last name.
address_1 The first part of the customer’s street address.
address_2 The second part of the customer’s street address.
city The customer’s city.
company A company name.
postal_code The customer’s postal (zip) code.
state If they’re in the US, this should be the customer’s 2 letter state code. Otherwise, this can be used to pass a province or region.

shipping_address_2 The second part of the receiver’s street address.
shipping_city The receiver’s city.
shipping_company A receiving company name.
shipping_postal_code The receiver’s postal (zip) code.
shipping_state If they’re in the US, this should be the receiver’s 2 letter state code. Otherwise, this can be used to pass a province or region.
shipping_country The receiver’s 2 letter country code.
shipping_email The receiver’s email address.

Fixed/Donation Buttons Only

amount Specifies the amount, in US dollars. This is used only for fixed and variable price buttons.

Shopping Cart Buttons Only

product_description_# Specifies a description for the given product.
product_sku_# Specifies a SKU for a given product to uniquely identify it.
product_quantity_# Specifies the quantity for a given product number. If this parameter isn’t passed, ‘1’ is assumed.
product_amount_# Specifies the amount, in US dollars, for the given product.
product_option_#_#

Product options can allow your customers to make some additional choices before adding a product to their cart. For example, if you’re selling a T-Shirt, you may want to allow the customer to define a size (Small, Medium, or Large) before adding the product to their cart. Up to 3 product options can be defined for a single product. The first number field is the product option number, and the last number field is the product number. For product #1, the product option field names would follow this form:

product_option_1_1 (option #1, product #1)
product_option_2_1 (option #2, product #1)
product_option_3_1 (option #3, product #1)

Ultimately, any option values passed in are appended to the product description. This can be very useful when fulfilling orders. If your T-Shirt was defined to have a color option and a size option, the resulting description might look like this:

T-Shirt (Red) (Large) The value can be anything you want, and you can utilize any form elements to pass it in (i.e. text, a dropdown, or radio buttons). Also note that our Button Creator is able to generate buttons with product options.

product_option_values_#_# The product_option_values field can be used for two main purposes:

  • Unless the product_option_values field is used, a customer would technically be able to pass any option values they want. For most merchants, this is not of great concern, but if this is a concern for you, the product_option_values field can be used to restrict which options can be passed in. Setting a product_option_values field to “Red|Green”, for example, would only allow Red or Green to be passed in as options for a particular product. In this case, passing anything else would generate an error.
  • The product_option_values field can also be used to create an option that increases the price of an item. For example, a large T-Shirt may cost slightly more than a smaller T-Shirt. Setting a product_option_values field to “Small|Medium:1.00|Large:2.00” would ensure that medium shirts would be charged $1.00 more than the product’s amount, large shirts would be charged $2.00 more than the product’s amount, and that small shirts would not be charged extra at all.

The product_option_values field’s naming convention is very similar to that of the product_option field.

The first number field is the product option number, and the last number field is the product number. For product #1, the product option field names would follow this form:

product_option_values_1_1 (option #1, product #1)
product_option_values_2_1 (option #2, product #1)
product_option_values_3_1 (option #3, product #1)

product_shipping_#

Specifies a set of shipping overrides for a particular product. This field allows you override shipping prices on a per-product and per-country basis. The shipping parameter overrides any settings configured in the Merchant Control Panel QuickClick Options.

Examples
fixed|10.00 Charge $10.00 per item for shipping.
fixed|10.00|5.00 Charge $10.00 for the first item, and $5.00 for each additional item.
fixed|10.00|5.00|country:CA|15.00|10.00
  • When shipped within Canada, charge $15.00 for the first item, and $10.00 for each additional item.
  • When shipped elsewhere, charge $10.00 for the first item, and $5.00 for each additional item.
url_continue Specifies a page that the customer should be sent to when they wish to continue shopping. This only applies to shopping cart buttons. Please ensure URLs are fully qualified (example: http://www.example.com).
url_cancel Specifies a page that the customer should be sent to after they cancel their order. This only applies to shopping cart buttons. Please ensure URLs are fully qualified (example: http://www.example.com).
checkout When set to true, the shopping cart page is skipped and the customer is sent immediately to the customer information screen or directly to checkout. This is useful if you need to pass SKUs, but still want a ‘Buy Now’ feel to the checkout process.

Documentation

Finish Methods
QuickClick

Below are some examples of alternative redirect methods available when using QuickClick HTML. This functionality is not available by default through the button generator and must be added after the fact. Enhanced functionality is not available on Link Alternative URLs.

All URLs provided must be fully qualified (Example: http://www.example.com)

No Return/Redirect:

If no redirection is wanted after the transaction a receipt is displayed, leave the ‘Finish URL’ field blank in the Button Generator or exclude url_finish variable from button HTML.

Standard Return/Redirect:

This displays a receipt to the customer and asks them to click ‘Continue’ to finalize the order.

When the customer clicks on continue, the non-sensitive transaction response data is returned via GET to the page included. This allows the Merchant’s website to record a SUCCESSFUL transaction in cases where a programmer has built logic to read our response.

In the button generator, enter a fully qualified URL in the ‘Finish URL’ field or include url_finish variable within the button HTML.

Example:


<input type="hidden" name="url_finish" value="http://www.example.com/finish.html" />
        

POST Back with No Data:

This displays a receipt to the customer and asks them to click Continue to finalize the order. When the customer clicks on continue, they are sent to the page included but the transaction data is not posted back to that page.

Useful if a return to the website is needed, but the site is not recording the transaction data. Not available through the button generator or link alternative. Code must be customized.

Example:


<input type="hidden" name="return_link" value="http://www.example.com/finish.html" />
<input type="hidden" name="return_method" value="post" />
        

Skip the Gateway Receipt page:

This skips our receipt page and automatically redirects the consumer to the return link URL automatically without clicking Continue to finalize the order. The transaction data is posted back to the website as normal.

QuickClick will not display success to the customer, so the page must be built/programmed to tell the customer that the charge went through. To use this method, do not include the ‘url_finish’ variable within your HTML.

Example:


<input type="hidden" name="return_link" value="http://www.example.com/finish.html" />
<input type="hidden" name="return_method" value="redirect" />

Button Generator Fields
QuickClick

Shopping Cart Button

Product Information

  • Item Description: This is the description a customer will see in their Cart. A detailed, but not lengthy, description of the item should be typed here.
  • Item ID (SKU): This is the SKU or Unique ID for that product. This can also be a SKU associated with a Recurring Plan. If this isn’t a recurring charge, do not enter a Plan SKU in this field.
  • Item Price: Enter the price of the item in this field without including any currency symbols. (ex: 10.00)
  • Shopping Cart Language: There is the option of having the cart display in English or Spanish. Choose accordingly.
  • ‘Quantity’ checkbox: This option is a little unclear. If you check this box, a field will display on the Merchant’s website. If you do not, the customer will be able to change the quantity when on the cart page.

URLs

  • Cancel URL:
    Enter a Fully Qualified URL to direct customers to should they wish to empty their cart and exit the system. (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/cancel-purchase).
  • Continue URL:
    Enter a Fully Qualified URL to direct customers back to the merchant’s website to add more product. Typically merchants prefer this link to be that of their shop page. (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/shop)
  • Finish URL:
    Enter a Fully Qualified URL to send customers to after they’ve successfully checked out. Typically merchants prefer a thank you page. (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/thank-you) or something similar.

Shipping Amount

  • If you want to charge shipping on a PER ITEM basis, use this field. If not, leave it blank. This field will not accept a 0.00 entry.

Product Options

You are not required to use these, but they are helpful if the product has variations or special features. These fields appear alongside the button itself, and NOT within the actual cart system.

An example of the use of these fields would be sizes (Small, Medium, Large, etc.) and/or colors (Blue, Red, Yellow, etc.). Some developers even use these to customize monogrammed items. Here is an example of both:

  • Size Variation
    • Option Name: Size
    • Field Type: Dropdown Menu
    • Option Choices: (Enter each option and hit ‘enter’ after, so they are stacked.)
      • Small
      • Medium
      • Large
  • Text Entry Option
    • Option Name: Custom Monogram
    • Field Type: Text Entry
    • Option Choices: *Leave Blank*

Key Verification

It is strongly recommended that you always select a key and not ‘No Verification’. This protects the button HTML and prohibits malicious users from altering the code.

Fixed Price Button

Product Information

  • Item Description: This is the description a customer will see in their Cart. A detailed, but not lengthy, description of the item should be typed here.
  • Item Price: Enter the price of the item in this field without including any currency symbols. (ex: 10.00)
  • Shopping Cart Language: There is the option of having the cart display in English or Spanish. Choose accordingly.

URLs

  • Finish URL:
    Enter a Fully Qualified URL to send customers to after they’ve successfully checked out. Typically merchants prefer a thank you page. (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/thank-you) or something similar.

Key Verification

It is strongly recommended that you always select a key and not ‘No Verification’. This protects the button HTML and prohibits malicious users from altering the code.

Note: This button does not support shipping and/or tax options.

Donation Button

Product Information

  • Item Description: This is the description a customer will see in their Cart. A detailed, but not lengthy, description of the item should be typed here.
  • Shopping Cart Language: There is the option of having the cart display in English or Spanish. Choose accordingly.

URLs

  • Finish URL:
    Enter a Fully Qualified URL to send customers to after they’ve successfully checked out. Typically merchants prefer a thank you page. (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/thank-you) or something similar.

Key Verification

It is strongly recommended that you always select a key and not ‘No Verification’. This protects the button HTML and prohibits malicious users from altering the code.

Note: This button can also be used for Bill Pay. Once the button has been generated, you can change the button text from ‘Donate’ to ‘Pay Now’ or your desired text by altering this line of code:

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Donate" />

Documentation

Customization
QuickClick

You will need to have the Administrative Options permission set in order to access QuickClick settings. These can be found by clicking on the QuickClick link under Settings(the link, not in Integration).

Look and Feel

Choose a Profile

In order to choose a pre-existing profile, select ‘Make Default’ to the right of the profile name. If there is no ‘Make Default’ link, the profile is already set.

Add New Profile

  1. Name the profile (no spaces).
  2. Choose the colors of the Text, Form fields, Form Headers, Required Fields/Errors, and Background. If you do not see the HEX value desired, you can input any web friendly HEX value into the fields provided.
  3. Enter in one of the following: a Direct Link to an image file (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.png) or a direct link to an HTML/PHP file that contains a header with the same look of the Merchant Website. (ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/header.html)
  4. Within Header Text, you can paste a style sheet HTML string like so: <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.mywebsite.com/css/style.css” /> and QuickClick will use that style sheet to make the form look like forms on the Merchant website.
  5. You may use a Footer file as well to round out the page, but do NOT enter the same style sheet link into the footer text field.
  6. Click Save. This will bring you back to the Look and Feel page, and you will see your new profile in the list. To make it active, click ‘Make Default’.

Customer Information

While field names can not be altered, fields that are not required can be hidden if not needed. Here, you will see a list of all available QuickClick fields.

  • It is recommended to choose ‘Required’ for the Card Security Code.
  • You may choose Hidden’ for any other fields not wanted/needed.
  • If you have created any Merchant Defined Fields and want them visible on the Form, please make them ‘Optional’ or ‘Required’ at the bottom of the list as they are Hidden by default.
  • Click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the page when you are done.

Payment Methods

This is where you can decide which payment methods (Credit Card, Electronic Check) will be accepted by QuickClick.

Security

QuickClick ‘Verification’ involves a hashing so that malicious users are unable to alter the button HTML. This can be turned on and off using this interface. If you do not wish to use Verification you must uncheck ‘Require that all values be verified using a security key’. This will associate your Buttons with your GATEWAY USERNAME.

Please advise that buttons can become void if a username is ever deleted from the Gateway. Using Verification eliminates this possibility.

QuickClick also has the option of requiring your customers to enter a CAPTCHA entry in order to process. This makes it more difficult for fraudsters to use your button for fraud using a bot or brute force tool. This can be disabled and enabled using this interface.

Tax

In order to set tax, choose the State from the drop-down, and enter the percentage Tax Rate in the field to the right. When you click ‘Save’, QuickClick will automatically calculate Tax based on the State entered into the Billing Address form when checking out. Tax will NOT appear until this occurs. This setting is specific to the Shopping Cart Button and does not apply to Fixed Price or Donation Buttons.

Shipping

Rather than charging shipping on a ‘per item basis’ most merchants prefer to use the Shipping threshold module. The threshold is based off of dollar amount. For example, the very first threshold should be below the lowest priced item — it’s suggested to use .01 as the first threshold, and then set both the domestic and international rate. It is not possible to exclude the International field from this threshold.

For example: if you want to offer free shipping on purchases over $100.00, enter shipping threshold as such:

Threshold Domestic International
100.00 0.00 0.00

You can also choose specific shipping types and mark them up by percentages (including 0% if necessary). For example, if ‘Ground’ is checked, and a 15% markup entered, QuickClick will use the Threshold table and add 15% to the total Shipping dependent on the total amount in the cart. As an example:

Shipping Threshold is 50.00 @ 15.00 Domestic. If I, as the customer, buy 53.00 of product and choose Ground Shipping, my total shipping cost will now be $17.25.

Convenience Fee/Surcharging Configuration

The Gateway supports a Convenience Fee/Surcharge feature which can be used with QuickClick. To change these settings, please navigate to ‘Settings’->’Convenience Fee/Surcharging Configuration’ and activate the option, set the fixed and percentages and the Default Type and click ‘Save’.

Once those are saved, the Default Surcharge Type for QuickClick can be set.

Gateway Emulator
Third Party Shopping Carts

We have designed our gateway to be able to handle transaction submissions and responses in the Authorize.Net format. We call this our Gateway Emulator.

To use the Gateway Emulator, your shopping cart or application must support the Authorize.Net AIM or SIM method of integration. If the application supports the AIM or SIM method, you simply need to change the transaction POST URL to our Gateway Emulator URL.

The Gateway does not support the emulation of XML AIM, CIM, ARB, DPM, Card Present or Transaction Details APIs.

Our Gateway Emulator URL is:

AIM: https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/gateway/transact.dll
SIM: https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/cart/ausi.php

You will need to change any production and test Authorize.Net URLs to one of the above URLs. The following URLs should be replaced:

https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll
https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

Some applications will not contain the test URL. In that case, you will only be changing one URL. Once you have updated the URLs to point to us, the application will submit transactions without needing changes to the code base.

You will then need to configure the Authorize.Net AIM or SIM payment module with the following credentials:

  • API ID or Login ID is your gateway username.
  • Transaction Key is your gateway password.
  • The MD5 Hash is the word “gateway” without the marks.

For testing, you can use the username and password of “demo” and “password”.

CIT/MIT is supported even though the official AIM API does not support it. Please use the variable names and values documented under the Direct Post API on all relevant transactions.


Authorize.Net Modern XML Emulator

If your application is using Authorize.Net’s current XML API, then you can connect using our newest emulator. Like the above-mentioned
emulators, this will accept requests in the same XML format that Auth.Net would accept, so it’s just a matter of changing
your POST URL to the one below and using your gateway credentials for authentication. This emulator also emulates the
response so that should look the same to your software.

Our Modern XML Emulator URL is:

https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/api/transrequest.php

For authentication, this API looks for “name” and “transactionKey”.

  • “name” can be anything, as it is not used for authentication.
  • “transactionKey” is your API Security Key.

Sparrow

If your application is using SparrowOne’s Services API, you can connect your software to the gateway via this emulator. Simply replace the POST URL in your software to the following address and you can submit transactions, add update, and delete Customer Vault IDs, and create recurring subscriptions.

https://secure.apsmerchantgateway.com/api/spar.php

Authentication uses your merchant account’s API Security Key in the ‘mkey’ variable.
