DataCash

Describes how to install and use the DataCash payment provider, one of several Optimizely Commerce Connect 13 payment solutions.

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.

The project package includes these files.

Prerequisite

You have a DataCash account registered at DataCash website.

After deploying all necessary files, open the Optimizely Commerce Manager back-end site. Then, follow these steps.

  2. Select Create new payment method

    • For System keyword, enter DataCash, the name of the folder created during deployment.
    • For Class Name, select EPiServer.Business.Commerce.Payment.DataCash.DataCashPaymentGateway.
    • For Payment Class, select EPiServer.Business.Commerce.Payment.DataCash.Orders.DataCashPayment.

    Overview tab

  3. Click OK to save the DataCash payment method.

  4. Open the DataCash payment method for additional editing.

  5. Go to the Parameters tab and enter the following:

    • Host address – The URL of the DataCash server to which to send transactions (required).
    • vTID – DataCash account number (required).
    • Password – Password for vTID (required).
    • Log file – The log file to which the API writes the output log. The folder that contains the log file should be available. Make sure that the IUSR and IIS_IUSRS have modify permission for this file. If you do not set the log file, no logging occurs.
    • Time out – Number of seconds for transaction time out. If you do not set a time out, the default is 60 seconds.
    • Logging level – The level that should be logged.
    • Payment page Id – The ID of the payment page (configured by DataCash) that you want to display.

    📘

    Note

    For testing purposes, manually request DataCash to activate HPS and the 3rd Man service. (These services are not configured by default. Also, the 3rd Man service is available for live accounts only.)

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.
