Canadian Payment Gateway - Beanstream

Hi there,

I am looking at Zen-Cart for a potential solution for Canadian based website. The credit card payment processing would be done by Beanstream.

I contacted them and they gave me a link to their Zen-Cart plugin:

http://www.beanstream.com/website/PDF_Files/beasntream.tar.gz

I installed this and configured it and on the final step of a test purchase I got an
"Unable to connect" message in the web browser. Thhe browser URL had this in it:

https://xxxxx.local/~xxxxx/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=checkout_payment&payment_error=beanstream&error_message=The+credit+card+was+declined.+You+may+try+again+or+try+another+card

(note: URL xxx'd out by me)

Is this a general Zen-Cart configuration problem or should I be focusing on the Beanstream plugin to find the problem?

btw - If there are Canadian Zen-Cart users that are already successfully using Beanstream's plugin with Zen-Cart I would love to hear from you.

I contacted **Beanstream** and requested a test account. They gave me test credit card information.

My second attempt to complete a Visa credit card transaction brought up a browser 'Unable to connect' page again with the following in the URL:

.../zen-cart/index.php?main_page=checkout_process

(note: I removed the first part of the URL for display here.)

It would be really nice if an experienced Zen-Cart person could help me determine if my problem is definitely related to the Beanstream plugin or I simply have a general configuration problem.

There are bugs in the beanstream plugin.

Can you check whether CURL is installed and working on your server?
One way to test it is to upload the script I attached to this post:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=408522#post408522
If you can download, unzip, upload that script and post a link to it on your site, it will help determine the functionality of CURL, which is used to submit the transaction for processing.

Thank you DrByte for your reply.

It should be noted that I am running Zen-Cart and this script on a localhost development computer. Might this be part of the problem?

Here is the result:

CURL Test Page
This page is intended for testing CURL behaviour. You should be accessing this page via CURLTEST.PHP running on YOUR server.

You submitted the following fields and data:

    [field1] => This is a test

Good
Other Info
Your server IP address is: xxx.xxx.xx.xx.

Below on the same page is:

That looks like a good response for non-SSL. Try adding ?ssl=1 to the end of the URL and see what happens.
Or try talking to the authorize.net server by adding **?authnet=1 **to the URL.

FYI - I checked into the Beanstream test account administration at their end and the test credit card purchase shows up as an approved credit card transaction.

curltest.php?ssl=1 returned this result:
