Next Step After Payment Server: Return URL

[jmnduc]

Hi,

I'm at the step where I can communicate to my payment server and need to know where to redirect from my payment server to Zen Cart (the Return URL as I seem to understand, a web address like http://Whatever_Address_Of_My_Websit...er_handler.php) in order to complete the remaining transaction actions:
- Create Order #
- Put Items in cart into created order
- Reset cart for any other eventual sale
- Set Order as Pending, Processing...

Or if there's an error then go back to the cart and tell customer to recheck the error.

I know that Paypal seems to be already configured and ready to use but my payment server is not Paypal or any of the already preset payment in Zen Cart.

I tried to find such information but was still unable to find it anywhere.
Can anyone please help me for that?

Thank you very much.

The callback page should be supplied with (or be a part of) the payment module that you are using. There is nothing within ZenCart itself that can handle something like this.

Perhaps if you could provide us with details of the Payment module you are using we may be able to provide more help.

Cheers

A correctly-written payment module will do all of those if you return the customer to index.php?main_page=checkout_process
But your module better also be smart enough to verify that the information sent back can prove that the purchase is valid and hasn't been fraudulently faked!
The built-in modules take care of these things in various ways depending on the technology used by the gateway. Every gateway is different.
And PayPal-Standard is a horrible example to follow, so ... don't.

Which gateway are you trying to code for?

Hi RodG and DrByte,

Thank you very much for your answer, I really Appreciate it.

Everything worked fine after I added 'http://My_Website_Name.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_process'
The reason why I wrote this Post was because there was no information in any FAQ that I have to return to the website by adding the addess like above, I suggest that it should be added for people like me who might not notice that and might ask over and over the same question.

Other than that, I had to change the SkipJack Payment Module a little bit:
if (MODULE_PAYMENT_SKIPJACK_TESTMODE == True) {
instead of
if (MODULE_PAYMENT_SKIPJACK_TESTMODE == 'True') {

And Added in function before_process() of skipjack.php:
if (MODULE_PAYMENT_SKIPJACK_TESTMODE != True) { // Skip Error Message If Test Mode
global $messageStack;
...
}

All credit goes to DrByte for this solution.

As for me, it seems I was leading you astray, so I've learned something from this thread too.

Thanks guys.
