What you need to start

You receive from Plug-n-Pay the following information:

  • personalized script URL
  • Merchant ID

 

Gateway Configuration Data

The Plug-n-Pay product homepage is under: http://www.plugnpay.com/

This package uses a SSL backlink method to submit the data to the url provided to you by the merchant gateway, most likely:
https://pay1.plugnpay.com/payment/pnpremote.cgi

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.

 

Payment Methods

The Supported payment method is CreditCard only.

Valid values for -ACTION

  • TEST
  • AUTH_CAPTURE

To VOID or CREDIT you have to use the manual online terminal.

 

 

Code to use for The CITY Shop

 

$MerchantData = {
  -GATEWAY_NAME           => 'plugnpay',
  -GATEWAY_URL            => '/payment/xxxxpay.cgi', 
  -MERCHANT_ID            => '123456789012345', 
  -MERCHANT_EMAIL         => 'myemail@mydomain.com',
  -GATEWAY_CONNECT_METHOD => 'SubmitLWPUserAgent', # or SubmitNetSSLeay
};

This merchant gateway REQUIRES the form field CCCICNumber. To remind you, this is the 3 digit credit card security number on the back of the card. You can flag this as required in the ShopSetup.pm, as follows:

-SHOP_PAYMENT_DATA_CC_FIELDS_REQUIRED => [qw(CCName CCAddress CCCity          
  CCZip CCState CCCountry CCNumber CCExpires CCCICNumber)],

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