ICharge Component [E-Payment Integrator V5]

Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings

The ICharge component is used to authorize credit card transactions with any of the supported Internet Payment Gateways.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The ICharge component allows you to use multiple Internet Payment Gateways through one interface and one component. This allows for easy migration from one gateway to another, as well as quick integration into applications or web services.

The ICharge component allows your website to securely perform credit card transactions without the need to redirect to a third-party site. All transactions are accomplished through a secure HTTPS Post to any supported gateway. The secure response is received and then stored in the component's response properties. Any web site on a standard HTTP server or any stand-alone application can process transactions without the need for a secure server or third-party intervention.

The first thing you must do is select one of the many gateways supported by the ICharge component, and set up an account with that gateway vendor. Once you have an account set up with a valid (or test) login Id and password, you can use the ICharge component.

To begin, set the Gateway property to the gateway you wish to use. If this gateway supports an alternate URL to send test transactions to, set the GatewayURL at this time.

Next, set the MerchantLogin (and for some gateways the MerchantPassword). These are supplied by your gateway vendor when you set up an account.

Now you are ready to process transactions. For each transaction, you must set the Card, Card, Card, and TransactionAmount properties. Most gateways will also require additional properties, such as Customer, Customer, Customer, InvoiceNumber, etc. Any additional required properties are listed in the Gateway property description.

Once these properties are set, you may run validity checks on the card data with the PreAuthorize method, or simply authorize the transaction with the Authorize method. If your Gateway supports it, you may also Void transactions that have not yet gone to settlement with the VoidTransaction method. Transactions that have already been settled may be refunded with the Credit method. Please note that some gateways use the Credit method for both voids and credits. See the transaction methods for more information.
