BUT here is what is meant to happen:-
1. Customer places order and goes to checkout
2. If you have installed the Realex module properly your customer will see Realex as an option to pay. Like this:-
Attachment 11496
3. Once customer picks this payment method and then confirms the payment they will be taken away from your site to the Realex payment portal, where you should have a template you have given Realex to upload with a landing URL for when their site returns the customer after a successful payment, or not.
If you have installed the module properly this will all work BUT you have to give Realex various bits of information AND you must make sure that the before_process.php file is in the route folder of your store.
Don't expect the module to work if these bits of information are not working.
If you want to see how the process works go to this site and follow the order process through to see how it operates: thefriendlylifestylestore.co.uk.
Also you can call the Realex Technicians in Ireland and they will help you, some of them are experienced enough in php to help if you are having problems with setting up the before_process.php file and the realex.php file (this latter file has to have your merchant account name and shared secret).
The realex.php file (in ./includes/modules/payments/) contains a section with this in it:-
-----
//Replace these with the values you receive from Realex Payments
$merchantid = "merchantname";
$secret = "sharedsecret";
$account = "accountname";
-----
If you want their tel number send me a separate email.

Hi all,
I'm trying to get Realex module to work with my site www.trugrow.co.uk v1.5.1
At end of checkout I'm getting Error 508
Invalid characters in product id - please use only A-Z a-z 0-9 _ - . , + @"
I've tried checking out with many different products.
A Realex Integration and Support Analyst has been helping to try and resolve the issues, nothing yet is working.
Setup account internet, Merchant ID trugrow, Shared Secret, Transaction Currency GBP, Payment Zone and confirmed correct with support.
I'm using http://www.trugrow.co.uk/before_process.php
Wondering if anybody else can see whats wrong here please?
Steve

You are not showing product codes on your site but if the code is: 6" Clip Fan, this may be where your problem is.
Really your product codes should be as simple as possible and in this case something like: 6INCFAN, or 6INCHCLIPFAN, or similar. What we do on our site is use codes that tell my staff who the supplier is. So if we were to sell the same fan it would be:-
ELEC-6INCHCLIPFAN (Electrovision 6 Inch Clip Fan)
Maybe you should check your product codes?
Also, just as an aside, £6.95 shipping for such a small item would certainly put me off buying this particular item from you. Maybe you should have staged shipping for various items? You can do this by installing the Royal Mail shipping module.

Thank you for your reply and help Steve,
For the clip fan I have changed the Products Name:6 Inch Clip Fan and added a Products Model:6INCHFAN
but this don't work for me, still get the 508 error
tried the same on the ph test kit, still error 508
Steve
Just took a look at product id in phpmyadmin and all id's are 3 digit numbers, nothing else.
Steve
Managed to fix this problem. It was our store name with invalid characters[FONT=Calibri, sans-serif], [/FONT]had a ':' in name.
Still have errors but that one is fixed.
