NAME

Vend::Payment::Skipjack - Interchange Skipjack Support

SYNOPSIS

    &charge=skipjack

        or

    [charge mode=skipjack param1=value1 param2=value2]

PREREQUISITES

  Net::SSLeay
 
    or
  
  LWP::UserAgent and Crypt::SSLeay

Only one of these need be present and working.

DESCRIPTION

The Vend::Payment::Skipjack module implements the skipjack() routine for using Skipjack IC payment services with Interchange. It is compatible on a call level with the other Interchange payment modules -- in theory (and even usually in practice) you could switch from CyberCash to Skipjack with a few configuration file changes.

To enable this module, place this directive in "interchange.cfg":

    Require module Vend::Payment::Skipjack

This must be in interchange.cfg or a file included from it.

NOTE: Make sure CreditCardAuto is off (default in Interchange demos).

The mode can be named anything, but the "gateway" parameter must be set to "skipjack". To make it the default payment gateway for all credit card transactions in a specific catalog, you can set in "catalog.cfg":

    Variable   MV_PAYMENT_MODE  skipjack

It uses several of the standard settings from Interchange payment. Any time we speak of a setting, it is obtained either first from the tag/call options, then from an Interchange order Route named for the mode, then finally a default global payment variable, For example, the "id" parameter would be specified by:

    [charge mode=skipjack id=YourSkipjackID]

    Route skipjack id YourSkipjackID

or with only Skipjack as a payment provider

    Variable MV_PAYMENT_ID      YourskipjackID

A fully valid catalog.cfg entry to work with the standard demo would be:

    Variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE      skipjack
    Route skipjack id             YourSkipjackID
    Route skipjack vendor         YourSkipjackVendor

The active settings are:

id

Your account ID number, supplied by Skipjack when you sign up. Use the supplied HTML Serial Numbers (Nova or Vital) while testing in development mode. Global parameter is MV_PAYMENT_ID.

vendor

The developer ID of the system which interfaces with Skipjack. Global parameter is MV_PAYMENT_VENDOR.

transaction

The type of transaction to be run. Valid values are:

    Interchange         Skipjack
    ----------------    -----------------
        sale                sale
        recurring           recurring

Default is "sale".

If you wish to do a recurring charge, you will have to ensure that the following Interchange values are set properly:

        Interchange variable     Skipjack variable
        --------------------     -----------------
        recurring_item           rtItemNumber
        recurring_desc           rtItemDescription
        recurring_start_date     rtStartingDate
        recurring_frequency      rtFrequency
        recurring_transactions   rtTotalTransactions
        recurring_comment        rtComment

test

If you set the "test" parameter, Interchange will remap some values and the URL for the transaction to point to the Skipjack test server. It will return a valid transaction if all is working.

generate_error

To generate errors in test mode only, set the parameter "generate_error" to one of the following values (error it generates in parenthesese):

        number   (invalid credit card number)
        avs      (will succeed, but generate AVS message)
        exp      (expired card)
        id       (invalid Skipjack account?)
        vendor   (invalid vendor?)

The following should rarely be used, as the supplied defaults are usually correct.

remap

This remaps the form variable names to the ones needed by Skipjack. See the "Payment Settings" heading in the Interchange documentation for use.

submit_url

The Skipjack URL to submit to. Default is:

        https://www.skipjackic.com/scripts/evolvcc.dll?Authorize

Add the following to catalog.cfg while in development mode:

        Route skipjack submit_url 'https://developer.skipjackic.com/scripts/evolvcc.dll?Authorize'

Troubleshooting

Try the instructions above, then enable test mode:

        Route skipjack  test           1

A test order should complete.

Then set a generate error

        Route skipjack  test           1
        Route skipjack  generate_error number

and try a sale. The sale should be denied, and the reason should be in [data session payment_error].

If nothing works:

Make sure you "Require"d the module in interchange.cfg:

    Require module Vend::Payment::Skipjack

Make sure either Net::SSLeay or Crypt::SSLeay and LWP::UserAgent are installed and working. You can test to see whether your Perl thinks they are:
```
    perl -MNet::SSLeay -e 'print "It works\n"'
    
```
or
```
    perl -MLWP::UserAgent -MCrypt::SSLeay -e 'print "It works\n"'
    
```
If either one prints "It works." and returns to the prompt you should be OK (presuming they are in working order otherwise).
Check the error logs, both catalog and global.
Make sure you set your account ID properly.

Try an order, then put this code in a page:

    <XMP>
    [calc]
        my $string = $Tag->uneval( { ref => $Session->{payment_result} });
        $string =~ s/{/{\n/;
        $string =~ s/,/,\n/g;
        return $string;
    [/calc]
    </XMP>

That should show what happened.

If all else fails, consultants are available to help with integration for a fee. See http://www.icdevgroup.org/

BUGS

There is actually nothing *in* Vend::Payment::Skipjack. It changes packages to Vend::Payment and places things there.
