Asked by: SBennett

Does any one have any experience integrating with
Verisign PayFlow? Are there any custom tags or prefab code to help me integrate quickly with the payflow payment service?

Thanks,
Scott

There is a dll available for this which comes from Versign if you have a license for the payflow service.  The name of this dll is PFProCF.dll.  It's a C++ type CFX tag and should be registered appropriately under the name "CFX_PaymentNet".

The syntax I believe is as follows:

<CFX_PaymentNet
      partner="your partner ID"
      vendor="your vendor ID"
      user="id"
      pwd="pass"
      hostaddress=""
      hostport="1605"
      timeout="30"
      trxtype="S"
      tender="C"
      acct="account number"
      expdate="exp date"
      amt="amount"
      zip="12345"
      debug>

<cfoutput query="PNResponse">

#Name# = #Value# <br>

</cfoutput>


Sorry I can't be of more help but being a commercial tag I can't really point you anywhere else.

Sorry,

Martin.

My client is not using "payflow pro" they are using "payflow link". The integration is a little different so I won't be able to use that tag.

Ahh ok.

There was a listing in CFDJ which might help you.

There is a verisign doc explaining Payflow Link.   Essentially what you do is on your vendor site, put a form submit to a verisign URL.   specify the customer info (name address city state zip), subtotal, taxes, shipping, etc. and any additional parameters.   Once the shopper clicks that submit, they will be redirected to a verisign page that handles their credit card entry and authorization.   after the credit card auth/charge is complete, verisign will redirect the customer back to the vendor site with some return codes and then you can print out a receipt or any other info you wish.

The developer's guide can be found in the payflow manager after you login.   Quite simple compared to payflow pro :)

Just a reminder, payflow link is limited to I believe 500 transactions a month.   Anything over that and Verisign strongly recommends Payflow Pro

 

by: SBennettPosted on 2002-10-23 at 11:23:23ID: 7361717

The application I am building will require recurring billing so I want to be able to deep the users credit card information and submit a transaction automatically every month. Can I do this with payflow link or do I need payflow pro?

 

by: MartinCSuttonPosted on 2002-10-23 at 11:26:18ID: 7361728

I dont see why you can't set up a scheduled task to submit the information.  They wont care when it arrives I wouldn't think.

 

by: yuliangPosted on 2002-10-23 at 11:26:24ID: 7361729

If it's a subscription service, you cannot do this with Payflow Link as it requires the user to input info via the browser.   Unless Payflow link has some special setting which is for subscription services....I don't remember any such setting though.

You "could".  But I would think it is a serious violation of mistrust.   Besides, Payflow Link prob has a server generated token to prevent this.  

 

by: MartinCSuttonPosted on 2002-10-23 at 11:29:41ID: 7361750

The user input can be simulated by using CFHTTP with a post method in your scheduled task.  But you probably knew that. :)

 

by: MartinCSuttonPosted on 2002-10-23 at 11:31:52ID: 7361760

I am unsure of their terms and conditions but it would be worth checking yuliang, you are quite correct.

 

by: SBennettPosted on 2002-10-23 at 11:34:21ID: 7361770

I think i will recomend my client go with pay flow pro, this way the users don't have to go to the verisign site at all, and I can easily set up an automated process to charge the clients on a monthly basis using the cfx interface described above.

it's acutually going to be a site for people who want to sell a business to list their business and for people who are interested in buying a business submit their contact info to the seller. its free for the buyer and the seller has to pay a monthly fee for each business they list. the fee will be automatically charged each month untill they remove the listing.
