Gateway Configuration Data

The Nova product homepage is under: http://www.ibill.com/
Here is the documentation page for the product:

http://www.ibill.com/support/setup/processingplus/gateway/default.cfm

This package uses a SSL backlink method to submit the data to the following url:
https://secure.ibill.com/cgi-win/ccard/tpcard.exe

You will need the following software installed:

Net::SSLeay v1.15
OpenSSL v0.9.6c

Please check the Net::SSLeay web page for the correct version required:
http://symlabs.com/Net_SSLeay/

For the people that don't have Net::SSLeay installed (NT folks),
there is an alternative submission method using:

LWP::UserAgent
Crypt::SSLeay

Please see the main installation instructions for more information on configuring the SSL modules.

Code to use for The CITY Shop

 

$MerchantData = {
  -GATEWAY_NAME           => 'ibill',
  -MERCHANT_ID            => 'abc123',
  -MERCHANT_PASSWORD      => 'abc123',
  -GATEWAY_CONNECT_METHOD => 'SubmitLWPUserAgent', # or SubmitNetSSLeay
};

This merchant gateway does not require city, country, state or cvv2 data. You have to update the ShopSetup.pm, as follows:

-SHOP_PAYMENT_DATA_CC_FIELDS_REQUIRED => [qw(CCName CCAddress CCZip CCNumber CCExpires)],

If you configure this for The CITY Shop, that is all you need to know, and you can return to the installation instructions.

 

Description of the used parameters:

-MERCHANT_ID
This is the merchant ID provided to you by the gateway.

-MERCHANT_PASSWORD

-GATEWAY_CONNECT_METHOD

-LOG_ACTIVITY
This is a flag that you can set on "1" if you want to log the gateway activity

-LOG_FILE_PATH
This is the path where the log file will be created. Note that this is a path only, and the script will create there a file named "IBILL.log"
