Need help with Virtual Merchant module

Like I told Mirage, welcome to the asylum Rafir!

I can tell you exactly where our problem is. As it stands now, if an SSL result comes back we're great! But, if a logic error is hit, VM does not return an SSL result . . . it returns 'errorcode' instead.

Figure that one out; LOL

rafirtech is the newest member of our "Limited PHP Knowledge" club. :P

I'm rooting for you Patch and Mirage. I looked over the manual and the code but am struggling to have any useful thoughts at this juncture.

I have been following this thread because I really would like to have the Virtual Merchant module working. I wish I could offer some real help, but I'm completely new to the whole credit card processing thing, and no expert in php either. Perhaps when you get to the point of needing testing I can do something.

I'm afraid I'm, at this point, limited to moral support :blush: So...

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Thanks for your work. I'm rooting for you!

Ok, so I've finally got the chance to work on this in depth. I"ll post what I find out.

Thanks for your efforts. I'm eager to see progress! :smile:

oh I am feeling slightly overwhelmed. I can't figure out how to put in some more detailed error messages. I am getting the general error. This PHP crap spread out over about 5 files is making my head spin. I don't think virtual merchant is getting my form data for their test card.... But I can't figure out where in Zen cart the form is getting submitted. I pretty much think its hopeless for me. lol

If I can figure out where I am getting my error at I might be able to make progress. I changed the $error array to append a number at the end so I can see where it is being generated, but those numbers aren't appearing. I should just be able to do a:

$error['value'] = (blah blah..) . "1";

and my hope would be a 1 would be tacked onto the end but it ain't happeneing. If I can't accomplish this, I dunno how I am going to figure this out.

Checking in to see how the Virtual Merchant process is going for you all? I've not come up with a solution after many hours of trying. :frusty: Wondering what to do now that I commited myself to the service.

Any glimmers of hope out there??

There is always a glimmer . . .

But, I'll say this; now I have the error handling working. I'm working with several individuals on this just not all visit these boards that often. The only problem I'm hitting now is the result is spitting out the headers on the return and not printing to the page.

Go here

http://www.merchantsrowonline.com

make an account and place an order; it's going to a dev server so the result will be bogus, just use whatever card you want, 4111111111111111 works or whatever.

you'll note the result gets spit out on the page as headers; not what you would think to see.

Good to hear of progress!

Thanks again for your work.

Hi,

Have you met a problem with missed ssl_cvv2cvc2 parameter? I am sending the simple form to MyVirtualMerchant:

<form action="https://www.myvirtualmerchant.com/VirtualMerchant/process.do" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_merchant_id" value="XXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_user_id" value="XXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_pin" value="XXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_transaction_type" value="ccsale">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_card_number" value="4111111111111111">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_exp_date" value="1010">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_amount" value="12.77">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_show_form" value="false">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_cvv2" value="present"> <!--CVV2 Indicator -->
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_cvv2cvc2" value="1234"> <!--CVV2 Data -->
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_avs_address" value="123 Main St."> <!--AVS Postal Address -->
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_avs_zip" value="01234"> <!--AVS ZIP Code -->
<input type="submit" value="Donate Now">
</form>

and got an error that CVV2 data is missed. It seems like a bug on the payment gateway side but maybe I am wrong?... Could anyone clarify this strange behaviour???

Thank you in advance.

You're using an old ViaKLIX form; you need to update your cvv2 fields; the new values can be found in their dev guide:

ssl_cvv2cvc2_indicator for the indicator; need to pass a numeric value of "1", no exceptions for http transactions
ssl_cvv2cvc2 for the data.

The code for VM is different than ViaKLIX; not by much, but there are more than a few fields that need to be updated.

You are right!!! People from VM should update their dev.guide more accuracy, because this example from there. Thank you very much for a great advice :)

I have it on good authority that they are going to be doing just that. You know I didn't know that the errors were that bad in the guide. I was going off the appendix when I wrote my form; which the appendix is correct.
I am currently working on a 'paying' job that doesn't require this module. I'm close to being done and once I am done I'll be turning my attention back to working on this for everyone. I'm still here for anything else though. So please don't hesitate to ask questions.

Thank you all!

Hello,

Is a working module for Virtual Merchant available yet? I need one asap for
a client--judging by this thread I may be in trouble. All I have is the developers
guide. VM Tech Support swears it will work with Zen Cart.

Thanks,
Jeanne

Oh it will work . . . but with enough programming and enough money, anything is compatible with anything really . . . LOL

I'm trying to wrap up a few things . . . things I've put off because I've been working on this module. I'd love to have it working but it seems there is little interest . . . well, little interest from people who know php & Zen well enough to help with the problems.

The Virtual Merchant support guys thought it would work with the authorize.net
module. Somehow that seems very unlikely. What would you advise? We
dont have lot of time or money to throw at the problem.

Thanks,
Jeanne

Please tell me you have a name of who told you to use the Auth.net module . . . geez. Well, I mean I guess you could if you took the time to rewrite it and all.

If you're in a time crunch, and I'm not just saying this because I sell Auth.net; but I'd get my money back on VM and switch to Auth.net, or switch carts (but be careful as there are not many that work properly) . . .

I'm very sorry that I'm tied up working on a site right now; well, not really sorry as it pays the bills . . . but once I'm caught up I'll get back to work on this module.

Seriously though, if you remember who you spoke with I'd love to know.

Hi,

No, I didn't get his name. Would probably recognize his voice, though. So may
be able to figure out who he was. We can't change carts--the entire site is
built in zen cart. We have to either get a mod that works or switch to authorize.net.

Jeanne

I personally would not recommend anyone moving away from Zen; so my current suggestion is to either move on to Auth.net or advise that a VM module is under development. What is the launch date?

Hi,

No, no chance of moving away from Zen--the whole site is built in Zen Cart
and has been up and running for some time. The client is just adding the
e-commerce functionality now and needs everything done by Dec. 1.
