[Support Thread] Nochex APC

[hazel]

I've been toiling with this all night and think I might have one working now.
I'd appreciate anyone who is willing, to test and play around with it.
It is now communicating with the Nochex checkout (which the existing one I had wasn't) and seems to be going OK. Haven't actually performed a live transaction yet only this minute finished it, so can't guarantee anything.

If you would like to try it, click and download the tiny .zip.

Any feedback, good or bad would be appreciated. I'll be fully testing it over the next day or so, if it works, it will be available to the community.

Excellent, thanks for that Hazel, I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

To the other: I believe the Nochex module in the archives is NOT an APC module, i.e. No callback to your site and no automatic confirmation of the payment. It'll behave just like a 'normal' Nochex payment.

Fingers crossed for hazels mod!

The existing NoChex module (ie. the 'old' one) works fine on zen 1.3.6 - my clients are using it on several shops (and the oldest shop is still on v 1.2.3)

It does confirm to the shop that a payment has been processed successfully, and it does initiate the 'checkout success' page and order in the shop/confirmation emails - although the version presently in the downloads section was corrupted last time I tried it (Jan 2006 - problem with some of the carriage returns being stripped out when it was uploaded, or something similar maybe - fixable though).

The 'new' NoChex APC currently has a file missing (or did have a few days ago) plus it doesn't pass the location of your header banner/logo for the payment page at NoChex as the existing mod does - although you can copy the code across from the existing mod quite easily. The confirmation emails from NoChex no longer display the delivery address (they used to in the older mod).

It's also missing the customer's 'phone number (which is now a required field on the new NoChex payment page) although apparently NoChex don't have a variable for that if you're using the 'Seller' account (the Merchant account has one) - bit of an omission on NoChex's part perhaps since the customer gets an error if they don't see/fill it in.

It also doesn't pass the postage (again, no variable, apparently) and it's difficult to get the cart description formatted properly at present (NoChex is ignoring the formatting codes - have emailed them).

The new APC module seems to give a bit more info on the customer's order page (similar to Paypal) - although I haven't been able to see it yet because the missing file prevents it displaying - and the payment page at NoChex is better laid out, otherwise I can't see much different between the old and new mod unless you're using a NoChex 'Merchant' account, when it seems to provide more variables and the possibility of feeding several shops into the same NoChex account (although beware, there's a large rolling retainer on the 'Merchant' account).

There's a working version of the 'old' NoChex module here:

(You'll also need the language file from the NoChex mod in the downloads section)

new nochex payment pages module with APC

Just a FYI for anyone downloading ... the new version is not yet in the downloads section (presumably hasn't been 'approved' yet) - the mod there today is still the older one (with the file missing) dated 20th December.

I have uploaded the new Nochex module and it appears to have fields on the setup page but no description about what to put in them, Take a look

There is no record of a new module submitted to the contributions area since Dec 20, 2006.

It's the one from the downloads section but read my notes above!

Sorry, couldn't edit last post. My notes are on another related post but here they are:

• Line 254 needs commenting out in the file /includes/modules/payment/nochex_apc.php This caused an error when viewing the order in Admin and is not needed.
• A TEST transaction will NOT callback to your site OR update stock levels. This happens in LIVE transactions ONLY!
