WebPay Direct integration manual


Version 1.2.6.

Content

Requirements

Integration must be done within our test environment first. When this process is finished and approved by our staff, you may go live and start processing with real money.

To start integrating with WebPay service you will need:

If you don't have a test merchant account, please contact us at [email protected] and we will open one for you. Then you can login into your account at https://ipgtest.monri.com/ba-hr/login with login and password provided.

WebPay Direct is a REST web service and you will need a HTTP client library (like cURL - http://curl.haxx.se). All API calls are XML documents POST-ed over HTTPS to our test server at https://ipgtest.monri.com.

important Parametrize https://ipgtest.monri.com URL, in production mode the subdomain will be different.

notice More on REST at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer.

An example of such call using cURL from command line may look like this:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml" -k -i -d request_xml https://ipgtest.monri.com/action
    

where request_xml is a XML document that contains data necessary for transaction processing and https://ipgtest.monri.com/action is an URL that responds to certain API call.

important Accept and Content-Type headers must be set to application/xml for all message types.

Variables - names, lenghts and formats

Here are the variables and their definitions used when generating XML documents for API calls:

Transaction messages

Authorization

Authorization is a preferred transaction type for e-commerce. Merchant must capture these transactions within 28 days in order to transfer the money from buyer's account to his own. This transaction can also be voided if buyer cancel the order. Refund can be done after original authorization is captured.

Below is an XML example of authorization message in which transaction_type tag has a value authorize. This XML document is generated according to variable definitions.

Digest is calculated using following formula:

digest = SHA1(key + order_number + amount + currency)

With the following example data

  • key: qwert123
  • order_number: abcdef
  • amount: 54321
  • currency: EUR

the digest formula gives a result as follows:

digest = SHA1("qwert123abcdef54321EUR") = "16e943d2b84546ce4271de51679abc3bf1eb163b"

key is a shared secret used to calculate digest value. It is set through merchant interface under API settings of your merchant account.authenticity_token is autogenerated value and is copied from merchant account.

notice Client does not send a TID/MID pair in authorization message, those are set in merchant account.

</transaction>

This XML is now posted to https://ipgtest.monri.com/api.

important Parametrize https://ipgtest.monri.com URL, in production mode the subdomain will be different.

If all values pass validations at our side, transaction is send to the bank and response is returned. This response may look like this:

  • HTTP status code: 201 - Created
  • HTTP headers: {:connection=>"close", :date=>"Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:18:37 GMT", :location=>"https://ipgtest.monri.com/transactions/845", :content_type=>"application/xml; charset=utf-8", :cache_control=>"no-cache", :x_ua_compatible=>"IE=Edge", :x_runtime=>"1.475305", :transfer_encoding=>"chunked"}
  • HTTP body:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <transaction>
      <id type="integer">845</id>
      <acquirer>rogach bank</acquirer>

      <enrollment>Y</eci>
      <authentication>A</eci>
    </transaction>

New transaction is generated - 201 Created HTTP status code, and it's location is set in appropriate HTTP header. A client then must parse a body from HTTP response and extract all values from that XML document. Transaction is approved only and if only status is set to approved. All other fields are standard data carried over payment networks. If issuer declines a transaction, status flag is set to decline. In a case of an error, the flag will be set to invalid.

important Do not rely on any output variable except status to determine successful of autorization.

important authorize messages won't be settled unless they are captured within 28 days. After authorization is captured, it can be refunded within 180 days.

notice We highly recommend to our merchants to keep a whole response (this includes HTTP headers and body) and to save all parsed values for easier troubleshooting during the integration phase and production later on. Even if the body is empty, HTTP response code is valuable information; HTTP headers are in the hearth of REST architecture. The quality of our support depends on availability of these information.

In case of invalid request, service will also return a response with 406 Not Acceptable HTTP status code and XML document in it's body. Each ofended variable will be printed out along with brief explanation what went wrong. That response may look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
  <error>Ch phone can't be blank</error>
  <error>Ch phone is too short (minimum is 3 characters)</error>
  <error>Ip can't be blank</error>
  <error>Ip is not a valid IPv4 address</error>
  <error>Digest is invalid</error>
</errors>

This invalid request is also recorded and errors are visible through merchant account interface.

Purchase

Purchase doesn't need to be approved, funds are transfered in next settlement between issuer and acquirer banks, usually within one business day. These transactions can be refunded within 180 days.

This message has the same structure as authorization request XML document, only difference is in transaction_type tag which has purchase value now. Response has identical structure as authorization response and all response fields should be treated in the same way.

notice purchase message can be refunded within 180 days.

Capture

Approved authorization must be captured in order to transfer the funds form buyer's card to merchant. This action can be done through merchant account interface or programatically through an API call. A lesser amount than original authorization amount can be captured, ie. a merchant can make a partial delivery of goods and/or services. Capture must be done within 28 days or will be automatically voided.

After an authorization is successfully made, a capture call must be done to settle that authorization.

Capture XML document is POST-ed to https://ipgtest.monri.com/transactions/:order_number/capture.xml, where :order_number has a value from original authorization.

important Parametrize https://ipgtest.monri.com URL, in production mode the subdomain will be different.

Document example for capture message may look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<transaction>
  <amount>54321</amount>
  <currency>EUR</currency>
  <digest>e64d4cd99367f0254ed5296d38fad6ce87d3acab</digest>
  <authenticity-token>7db11ea5d4a1af32421b564c79b946d1ead3daf0</authenticity-token>
  <order-number>11qqaazz</order-number>
</transaction>

where digest is calculated the same way as for authorize or purchase messages.

Response has identical structure as authorization response and all response fields should be treated in the same way.

notice capture message can be refunded within 180 days.

Refund

Approved purchases and captures can be refunded within 180 days. This action can be done through merchant account interface or programatically through an API call. This is required if merchant cancels the order after transaction is settled, or buyer is not satisfied with delivered goods and/or services. Refunds can be done with lesser amount than original authorization amount.

Request XML for this transaction_type is identical to capture example, but now the document is POST-ed to https://ipgtest.monri.com/transactions/:order_number/refund.xml, where :order_number has a value from original purchase or capture.

Response has identical structure as authorization response and all response fields should be treated in the same way.

Void

Approved authorization must be voided within 28 days if merchant cancels the order. This action can be done through merchant account interface or programatically through an API call.

Void messages are POST-ed to to https://ipgtest.monri.com/transactions/:order_number/void.xml, where :order_number has a value from original message (authorization, capture, purchase or refund). They have identical structure as capture or refund.

Response has identical structure as authorization response and all response fields should be treated in the same way.

Transactions with installments

To send a request with installments, number-of-installments tag is added to authorize or purchase XML document. This number depends on merchant's setting in acquiring bank, it's value is a number between 2 and 12

Moto transactions

To send a request for moto transaction, moto tag is added to authorize or purchase XML with true value.

3-D Secure messages

If your merchant account has active 3-DS flag under it's settings, all incoming authorize and purchase requests will be processed as 3-D Secure transactions. For cards not enrolled in 3-DS, a regular authorize or purchase response will be returned.

If the card is enrolled, a 3-DS check will occur and appropriate response is returned which may look like this:

Client should parse a HTTP body from above example response and extracts acs-url, pareq and authenticity-token values. They are POST-ed through buyer's browser to ACS server at acs-url as follows (this example use javascript to automatically submit the form):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>3D Secure Verification</title>
    <script language="Javascript">
      function OnLoadEvent() { document.form.submit(); }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body OnLoad="OnLoadEvent();">
    Invoking 3-D secure form, please wait ...
    <form name="form" action="acs-url" method="post">
      <input type="hidden" name="PaReq" value="pareq">
      <input type="hidden" name="TermUrl" value="term-url">
      <input type="hidden" name="MD" value="authenticity-token">
      <noscript>
        <p>Please click</p><input id="to-acs-button" type="submit">
      </noscript>
    </form>
    </body>
</html>

where acs-url, pareq and authenticity-token are substituted with appropriate extracted values.

Buyer will POST the result of 3-D secure identity check from ACS server to term-url at merchant side through his browser. Following data is captured at merchant's term-url:

notice Merchant should implement a listener at term-url that captures response from issuer's ACS server.

The 3-D secure processing is done and merchant now issue a new request to https://ipgtest.monri.com/pares to finish the transaction. Example of such request may look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<secure-message>
  <MD>7465c9ab97defa1501ed0e680b3a0b4b88937c17</MD>
  <PaRes>eJzNmGuvosyygP/KZPZHMy93lYmzkuaOCnJH+LLDTe6ggoD8+t3qrDXrnUxO3rO/nENigKK6urq76qm2N1Z2TR ...</PaRes>
</secure-message>

notice authenticity-token from WbPay is submitted to ACS server in variable MD; then is sent back again to WebPay as MD variable.

WebPay will return response as would for a regular authorize or purchase request messages. Only difference is that eci, xid, acsv, enrollment and authentication fields are now populated in response XML according to 3-DS rules.
