Before you can start accepting credit card payments online, you need to connect your website or shopping cart to your unique e-Path secure payment gateway system. This process is called 'integration'.
Your website or shopping cart will have its own way to collect your customers details such as their name, phone, delivery address, email etc, of which it will send you directly. Usually within the same action your website or shopping cart will send or redirect your customer to your secure e-Path payment page to make payment. After making payment your customer can return back to your website.
It may sound a daunting process but in actual fact integrating e-Path is a reasonably simple affair, even for the non-technically minded.
e-Path will supply you with the unique address (URL) to your secure e-Path payment page upon registering you into the e-Path system. From there you only need to ensure each of the following six parameters are sent with values to your e-Path system, they are:
That's all there is to it. No SSL requirements, no dedicated IP address for your site, no complex server programs to install, no response codes to worry about, nothing more - everything that needs to exist is handled for you by your own e-Path gateway system. So, send those six (or seven with the "optional" value) values to your unique secure e-Path gateway URL and you have successfully integrated your e-Path system into your website or shopping cart.
Here we are simulating a website or shopping cart which has assigned values to the required parameters. You are about to "buy" a box or oranges and pay $25.00.

Here we can see how things work using values you set. In this example we are only using the required parameter values needed by e-Path. You of course would be collecting more details like your customers name, physical address, phone number etc, all of which would be sent to you directly from your website.
If you would like to start to integrate e-Path to ensure things work prior to signing up, then please feel free to configure your website/shopping cart to send directly to the following URL ...

Although this is only a demonstration URL, it gives you access to a working simulated gateway. You will be experiencing exactly how your own unique secure e-Path payment system will perform, but of course you will not be receiving any payment alert notifications with this demonstration.
