[Flashcoders] Payment processing in Flash?

2008-09-19 Thread Henry Cooke
Hey all,

We're working on a site for a charity in which we want to build a
really quick, streamlined donation process - basically, a user sticks
their credit card details and email address into a simple form in our
Flash site, we process the transaction in the background and the UX
continues in our site.

Now, leaving aside for a second the potential complications there
(transaction failiure, security etc), does anyone know if any of the
big payment processing services provide an interface through which
something like this can be done?

We're hoping to present the UI for the entire payment process in our
(Flash) site without linking off to someone else's forms.

Any pointers would be helpful. I've been poking through the PayPal
docs this morning, which look promising, but they're a bit of a
tangled mess...

Cheers,
h

I'm not sure about this one, but couldn't you just make the form in flash
yourself and just
post the same variables to the service, which the usual HTML foms also post.
You could just
peek in the HTML form, check out the variables which it will send and
simulate that behaviour in flash.

Transaction failure, secury etc is something the service itself is
responsible for. If you can ask the party
in question what kind of responses you can receive, than you could also
handle these in flash.

Usually there are two ways of handling payement,

first is the hosted pay page, which means the payment is done through de 
payment processing website, not on yours.
The second, and I presume you want that one, is done all on the 
merchant's server. This requires you to buy an SSL key,
have your flash form through https (otherwise they won't accept dealing 
with you). Otherwise it's just communicating with their server
with POST. You'd have to look at the API of the service you want to use 
to know wich variables are sent back to you, and which are required from 
you.


I'm currently working on a site that uses Moneris, here are a few links 
to see what goes on :

https://www3.moneris.com/connect/en/index.html
https://www3.moneris.com/connect/en/process/index.html
https://www3.moneris.com/connect/en/documents/index.html

and to do some tests :

https://esqa.moneris.com/mpg/index.php?u=DemoUserp=passwords=store2

Store IDstore5

User ID demouser

Password password

Anyway you should read the documents they provide, everything is in there.
I'm pretty sure the basic processes are the same elsewhere, just the 
variables that differ.


Hope this helps
