How it works

  • 1. Now lets take your new payment integration for a spin. Go to ‘Process sale’ page and add some items to the cart and click on Pay button. This will open your payment page slider with all payment options including your newly added payment type.

  • 2. Click on your new payment option. This will open your Gateway URL in a slider and POST the payable amount there with other necessary information. Method used for the POST is Window.postMessage()
1400
  • 3. Now your payment gateway should return an appropriate response (e.g.: Accepted, Declined, Timed out or Transaction cancelled) based on type of transaction (e.g.: Sale or refund). If you are following this process workflow using the example code we provided, the response options will appear on the slide out screen for you to select manually. Normally in your actual implementation, these responses will come from your payment device.
