trying to do recurring payments

[aurels]

Hi,

Thanks for pointing me to activepayment which I could try without any problems (thanks to the specs!) on a live transaction. I don't know why the test gateway doesn't work (maybe you have a clue about that).

I'm trying to figure out how to do recurring billings (where credit card informations would be stored at WC). I understand the concept of authorize/capture for a one time payment. But do you think it's possible to authorize one time and then capture say each month ? Maybe it is related to those two methods : enrollment_check and enrollment_check_request ?

Do you have any WC docs about that ? What did you use to build the gem ? I can't find any docs on the Web about WC integration at all.

Thank you again for any information,

Aurels

I've found more info from a WC PDF lost in my mailbox :

A recurring transaction describes a payment where the cardholder‟s account is periodically charged for a repeated delivery and use of a product or service (subscription, membership fee, etc.) over time. It consists of an initial request (which is identical in form and content to a single request) and one or several repeated transaction request messages.

Absolutely what I need :-)

The “initial” request message (which in most cases is an preauthorization) contains all relevant card and cardholder data. All subsequent “repeated” message (which can be another Preauthorization, or a Capture or a Purchase) simply references an identifier (the Global Unique Wirecard ID) which is returned with the response message to the initial request.

If I understand well :

• I have to pass an special parameter to the first authorize which says that it will be "repeated". This first authorize gives me an identifier (Global Unique Wirecard ID).
• At each renewal, I do a capture and I pass the identifier.

Am I right ?

Digging deeper, I find that transactions actually accept a RECURRING_ TRANSACTION parameter :

This is a collection of recurring information. Please refer to Recurring Transaction for details.

Do you have any idea of what to pass to this paramater as a valid value ?

Sorry i never used wirecard for recurring payments. Feel free to update the code :-)

I have added the last wirecard specification in the Doc folder.

Which spec failed exactly?

[aklaiber]

The enrollment_check method is for 3D-Secure Payment.

Yes I'll try, I think I just need a way to pass additional params to authorize calls. No spec failed, I said "thanks to the specs!" because they helped me to discover how to use the lib ;-)

What access credentials do you use to connect the test gateway ?

It fails with those :

ActivePayment::Wirecard::Gateway.config = {
  :login            => '56500',
  :password         => 'TestXAPTER',
  :signature        => '56500',
  :mode             => 'test'
}

Yey that works thanks. I have to ask them to access the test admin panel now...
