Integration

Integrating in to whatever system you have on your website should be a relatively simple affair. You only need to ensure your customers are sent to your unique payment gateway URL via correctly formatted communication recommended via a webform's POST method with correct parameter values.

And those values are:

ceml
Customer email address
ord
A unique order, invoice or reference number (max 40 characters or numbers)
amt
The transaction amount $
frq
The transaction frequency (e.g. Once Only or Monthly etc)
ret
The return URL (your https address) for redirection back to your website
opt
Optional field parameter for a custom value (max 40 characters)
If you are using shopping cart software that does not yet have an e-Path plugin, let them know about this page. They will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is!

Payment Gateway Demonstration

Let's see how things work in the real world, shall we.

For the purpose of this demonstration the below values are already set and the webform will send to https://e-path.com.au/demo/demo.php.

ceml
testing@e-path.com.au
ord
153382
amt
$64.00
frq
Once Only
ret
https://e-path.com.au/demo/thankyou.php
opt
Wow, this looks awesome
Of course, normally your website or shopping cart would send the customer off to your gateway URL when they check-out, but for this demonstration we've got a 'Go Now' button to simulate that.

Developers are welcome to use the above demo gateway URL to assist them in creating website or shopping cart integration. Any help needed, you only need ask us.

Keep in mind ...

  • No Response Codes to Worry About: e-Path does not transact credit card payments so there are no returning response codes to worry about. It's just to your payment gateway and back so your shopping cart can close-off the order process.
  • Secure Redirects: Always ensure you use a secure URL (https) in the 'ret' value for your website address.
  • Try to keep "ret" value brief: By default e-Path returns a number of values to your website/shopping cart so it can recognise the returning customer and close-off the order process. However, if you are creating a shopping cart plugin for e-Path where the shopping cart generates a URL string as the "ret" value to enable it to recognise the customer returning, you should try to keep it brief. It could possibly be something like: https://yourwebsite.com?ord=123456
    ... where 123456 is the unique order number so your shopping cart can recognise the customer being returned to complete the order process.
  • WooCommerce & Ecwid: The two most popular shopping carts for Word Press use the string method in their e-Path plugins. Very efficient. Let us know if you are using either of these so we can remove all the unnecessary values being returned to your cart.
