To make payments via the Hosted Payment Page you send a request to following URL with HTTPS GET or HTTPS POST:
https://www.computop-paygate.com/paymentPage.aspx
All details required for payment processing are forwarded as parameters. The parameters are encrypted with Blowfish to ensure that neither the customer nor a third party can manipulate the data.
When calling the form, the OPS decrypts the parameters and shows the HTML page with the payment methods. The customer selects the payment method and triggers the forwarding by clicking the button “Next”.
After the payment has been made the OPS redirects the customers back to a shop page via HTTPS GET (URLSuccess, URLFailure) and transmits the result of the payment as a Blowfish-encrypted parameter string to these URLs. In addition, the OPS transmits the result via HTTPS POST to the shop’s Notify page (URLNotify). The shop accepts the payment result and decrypts the data in order to inform the customer about the status.
Calling the Hosted Payment Page starts with the correct composition of the parameters which consist of a key and a value and which are separated by an equals sign (=):
MerchantID=Test
All parameters are assembled in a character string and separated by the character &:
Amount=100&Currency=EUR&TransID=12345
Notice: Since the characters “=” and “&” are used as separating characters, these characters cannot be transmitted as values. All values which you transmit without BlowFish-encryption must be URL-Encoded.
A correct parameter character string for the OPS contains three basic parameters: MerchantID, Len and Data. The parameters MerchantID and Len are unencrypted. Only the Data parameter is Blowfish-encrypted:
MerchantID=Test&Len=67&Data=0A67FE96a65d384350F50FF1
The Data parameter contains the sensitive payment details such as amount and currency. The encrypted bytes are Hex-encoded and completed to two characters from the left with a zero. Encryption is via Blowfish ECB and is available to you as source-code and components.
The Len parameter is very important for encryption because it contains the length of the unencrypted(!) character string in the Data parameter. Since the data quantity to be encrypted is increased by a multiple of 8 in the case of the Blowfish encryption, the correct length of the character string must be known for decryption. Otherwise accidental characters emerge at the end of the character string.
The parameters are transmitted via HTTPS POST or HTTPS GET. The recommended transmit method is HTTPS POST because the parameter character string in the case of GET is attached to the URL, which is limited to 2048 bytes depending on the browser.
Notice: Please note that the maximum length of a payment request is limited to 5120 characters. If you require longer strings please contact First Cash Solution Support.
The following listings show the development of a payment request. The first listing is the unencrypted parameter character string:
MerchantID=Test&TransID=100000001&Amount=11&Currency=EUR&URLSuccess=https://www.shop.com/ok.html&URLFailure=https://www.shop.com/failed.html&URLNotify=https://www.shop.com/notify.cgi&OrderDesc=My order
Notice: Please note that a value is to be assigned to each parameter. Do not transmit empty parameters, as this can cause the payment to fail.
This character string is encrypted and transmitted as the Data parameter. The HTTPS GET request for the Hosted Payment Page looks like this:
Notice: Please note that parameters like Language or URLBack are transmitted unencrypted. A table with all possible unencrypted parameters can be found also witihn this document.
