DataCash

Install DataCash

Follow these steps to deploy the DataCash payment provider.

Build a DataCash project

1. Download the DataCash payment provider file package, which provides an EPiServer.Business.Commerce.Payment.DataCash project.

2. Open the DataCash project and and save the solution.

3. Install EPiServer.Commerce.Core NuGet package by executing this command in Package Manager Console:
   Install-Package EPiServer.Commerce.Core

   📘

   Note

   To avoid assembly conflicts, install the Optimizely Commerce Connect Core version that your site is using. Also, apply no database transforms.

4. If you are using a live account, uncomment the following line to activate the real-time fraud checking (in the DataCashPaymentGateway class, CreateDocumentForPreAuthenticateRequest method):

   requestDoc.set("Request.Transaction.TxnDetails.The3rdMan.Realtime.real_time_sha1", HashCode(merchantReference));
   

   🚧

   Important!

   If you are using Commerce Connect 11 or higher, ignore step 5. That code was removed from Commerce Connect 11.

5. If you are using workflow, uncomment the following line in DataCashPaymentGateway.cs.

   payment.Properties["NextAction"] as Action).Invoke();
   

6. Rebuild the DataCash project. Now, you have the files EPiServer.Business.Commerce.Payment.DataCash.dll and Transaction.dll.

Configure DataCash payment provider in the front-end site

To set up the DataCash payment provider, browse to the front-end Commerce Connect site and follow these steps.

1. Go to the CMS > Admin > Content Type tab.

2. Add two properties, DataCashPaymentPage, DataCashPaymentLandingPage of the type Page, to the Start page (or Home page) page type.

   Common settings tab
   

3. Go to CMS > Edit.

4. Create a page using a DataCash Payment Page under a Checkout page, then publish it.

   

5. Open the site's home page, click the Site Structure tab and define two new properties:

   • Set the DataCashPaymentPage property to the DataCash page that was just created.
   • Set the DataCashPaymentLandingPage property to Order confirmation page.

   Site Structure tab

   

Configure the DataCash hash key (optional)

DataCash uses a _private hash key_to ensure security in communications. This private hash key is used to create secure hash keys, which are appended to an accept URL and a cancel URL.

The information about accept URL and cancel URL is sent to DataCash using HTTPS, so these keys are not exposed. When DataCash redirects a user to those URLs, the keys verify that the request comes from DataCash only, since only DataCash knows about the keys. You can configure this hash key in the application settings configuration section under DataCashHashKey.

DataCash user experience

After you deploy the files and configure the DataCash Payment module on your Optimizely Customized Commerce website, a DataCash option should appear in your checkout page. This section explains how a user interacts with PayPal.

1. During checkout, on the checkout page, select DataCash as the payment method.

   

2. When you click Place order, you are redirected to DataCash.com to confirm the payment.
   

3. When you finalize the approval process, you are redirected to the Order confirmation page (previously configured).
   

📘

Note

DataCash.com checks billing and shipping addresses very carefully. If you test with a US address, use a correct and complete one with ZIP code, state, and city. Otherwise, the DataCash API precheck fails, and you cannot complete the payment.
