PxFusion

PxFusion is a product that allows merchants to accept credit card details within a form on their own web page. The form posts sensitive data directly to Payment Express Payment Express will process the transaction and cause the user's browser to return to the merchant website in a way that is totally transparent to the cardholder.

The process workflow can be broken down into three main steps:

  • Obtaining a TransactionID (via a Web Service).
  • Using a HTML form to POST sensitive data directly to Payment Express using the TransactionId as the identifier.
  • Obtaining the results of the transaction using the TransactionId (via a Web Service).

The following resources are exposed by Payment Express for live transactions:

When consuming the PxFusion web service please ensure that your web service stack supports lax versioning: that is, it does not throw exceptions for new unknown data members in received data. Also, ensure that your application does not perform schema validation against an expected schema before attempting to send or process messages.

3D Secure Support

Payment Express have implemented a MPI (Merchant Plug-In) that securely allows an automatic 3D Secure redirection with no development cost or hassle to the merchant whatsoever.

The MPI is compliant with the latest 3D Secure technology. Card schemes estimate that with these new security mechanisms in place, merchants will experience an increase in sales generated, lower operational costs and fewer charge backs due to fraudulent transactions.

Note to support 3DS on the account, please ensure merchants contact our Sales and Support team to enable live 3D Secure with the 3DS settings and credentials which are usually supplied by the merchant's bank or acquirer. Usually 3D Secure validation is tested on the live gateway account with the live credit card details.

WSDL

A web services descriptor language (WSDL) file is an XML document that describes the arguments accepted by a specific web service as well as the methods and properties supported by that service. The WSDL specification provides the grammar and syntax rules for WSDL files. For the WSDL schema please see https://sec.paymentexpress.com/pxf/pxf.svc?wsdl or https://uat.paymentexpress.com/pxf/pxf.svc?wsdl.

SOAP Operations

The WS control offers a number of methods to initiate transactions, connect to the Payment Express Server and alter settings and retrieve information. This section details the available SOAP operations and their uses.

GetTransactionId

The merchant’s integrated application or server sends a server-side SOAP HTTP POST to the GetTransactionId web service call. The data submitted will not include sensitive card data such as card number, expiry date, CVC, card holder name and issue number. This data is not collected by, and is never available to, the merchant website.

Please review the GetTransactionId WSDL specifications. The sample call is provided below.

Please ensure the fields elements within the tranDetail element in the SOAP GetTransactionId have to be in alphabetical order as shown in the WSDL. Failure to ensure alphabetical ordering of fields can cause some fields to not be registered.

Output Elements

The response to the GetTransactionId call will include an indication of the success of the operation and an ID relating to the session created. If the success element value is false then the merchant application need not look to the other properties, the call should be re-tried and brought to the attention of site administrators if attention is needed.

The SessionId property is a random identifier (which is not feasibly guessable) to be used for presentation within the form and URL presented on the client-side. The TransactionId property has been deprecated. It is expected that the merchant application stores the SessionId within their system.

These Elements are given when the GetTransactionId method returns results.

Element Description
sessionId Transaction identifier.
success Indicates if the GetTransactionId call was successful or not. Either True or False.
transactionId Transaction identifier.

CancelTransaction

The merchant will make a server-side SOAP HTTP POST to the web service. The call will prevent a transaction taking place for a given sessionId.

Input elements

The input properties for this CancelTransaction call are described below.

Element Required Description
username Yes Username issued by DPS.
password Yes Password issued by DPS.
transactionId Yes Transaction/Session Id to be cancelled.

Output Elements

A single property named Success is returned in response to the CancelTransaction call.

Element Description
cancelTransactionResult Specifies the result of the cancelTransaction call. Either True or False.

Rendering the Form

The merchant’s website or application has to dynamically render a form on a web page which will POST sensitive card data directly to Payment Express® securely using HTTPS (SSL Certificate required). Currently the AJAX based POST is not permitted. The following input elements should be included in the form:

Input Elements

Element Required Type Max Length
CardNumber Yes Numeric 19
ExpiryMonth Yes Numeric 2
ExpiryYear Yes Numeric 2
SessionId Yes Alphanumeric N/A
CardHolderName No Alphanumeric 64
Cvc2 No Numeric 4
IssueNumber No Numeric 3
UserTxnData1 No Alphanumeric 255
UserTxnData2 No Alphanumeric 255
UserTxnData3 No Alphanumeric 255
The card detail input values are set by the user as they complete the fields. The SessionId returned by the GetTransactionId call should be included as the value of a hidden input named 'SessionId' within the form. Payment Express will ignore any extraneous variables included within the data posted by the form. UserTxnData1 - 3 fields will be stored by Payment Express only where no values were passed to Payment Express within the TxnData1 - 3 fields within the GetTransactionId request.

Transaction Result

Upon receiving the HTTP POST from the form at https://sec.paymentexpress.com/pxmi3/pxfusionauth Payment Express will process the transaction. The posted data is validated and combined with the other information supplied previously using the sessionId supplied in the hidden field.

Payment Express will process the transaction to the acquirer in real-time. When the transaction is processed, typically in under 2 seconds, Payment Express will direct the user's browser to the returnUrl supplied in the GetTransactionId call.

In order to obtain the full URL with which to direct the user and notify the merchant of the transaction having taken place Payment Express take the returnUrl supplied with the initial SOAP web service call and appends a 'sessionid' query string value.

For example if the returnUrl originally supplied was:

https://www.mysite.com/returnpage.php?ses=1234

And the sessionId for the transaction is 0000060001207174fc003a0a60bd3306; The URL to which the user will be returned is:

https://www.mysite.com/returnpage.php?ses=1234&sessionid=0000060001207174fc003a0a60bd3306

GetTransaction

Upon receiving a request for the returnUrl the merchant is in a position to be able to update their records in recognition of the transaction and/or present the result to the user. To do so the merchant must make a GetTransaction SOAP call. The merchant populates the tranasctionId parameter of the GetTransaction SOAP call with sessionId value contained within the query string.

Input Elements

Element Required Description
username Yes Username issued by DPS.
password Yes Password issued by DPS.
transactionId Yes Transaction/Session Id supplied in the query string.

Auth-Complete

Overview

Payment Express supports Authorisation and Complete transaction types. An Auth transaction verifies that funds are available for the requested card and amount, and reserves the specified amount. A Complete transaction is sent at a later date to cause funds transfer for the previously authorised amount, or a smaller amount if the total original value is no longer required. This transaction set is useful when the merchant needs to ensure that funds up to a certain limit are available but the actual total amount is not yet known or goods or services have not yet been delivered.

Operation

1) Authorization

Use the GetTransactionId operation with TxnType set to "Auth" for the amount to be authorised. The Auth response contains a DpsTxnRef. The funds are not transferred from the cardholder account.

2) Complete

After a successful Auth transaction, but within 7 days maximum, a Complete transaction must be sent containing the DpsTxnRef returned by the Auth transaction. This can be done using either PX Post, AUTH SSL, a Web Service or Payline/Payment manager (manual option).

Token Billing

Overview

Token Billing allows for regular billing of a cardholder card, under the control of the merchant, without requiring the merchant to either store sensitive card data securely or to obtain credit card details every time a new payment is requested. This functionality is implemented by providing the ability for a merchant to request Payment Express to capture and store credit card number and expiry date and to link these stored details to a merchant supplied "BillingId".

The DpsBillingId is the default token type generated by Payment Express not the merchant. A DpsBillingId will be generated for every transaction where the credit card information is to be stored (indicated by EnableAddBillCard field flag). The returned value will be 16 characters in length and is unique. The merchant can choose to use the DpsBillingId or their own BillingId.

The BillingId is a 32 character field that contains a reference that is unique to the merchant's customer that will be associated with the credit card information stored securely at Payment Express. This is undertaken during the Setup Phase. For subsequent charges to the card (Rebill Phase), the merchant does not need to supply the card number or expiry date, only the BillingId originally associated during the Setup Phase.

CardNumber2 is a token generated by Payment Express and associated with card details supplied. It is 16 numeric characters and conforms to a Luhn "mod 10" algorithm. This makes it ideal for storage within the database in place of a card number where the value is validated against checks which might normally be made against credit card numbers. A CardNumber2 value is always unique for a given card number. Should a card number be presented for tokenization multiple times the same CardNumber2 value will be returned.

CardNumber2 tokens are generated for all transactions once enabled by Payment Express (please contact your Payment Express account manager to discuss). The token number will be returned in the cardNumber2 property of the GetTransaction result.

Charging a CardNumber2 token involves a request from the merchant application or Batch processor including an appropriate cardNumber2, a TxnType (Purchase) and the amount to be charged (an optional MerchantReference can be added for reporting purposes). EnableAddBillCard value will need to be set to "False" (or 0) for the rebill phase. Payment Express retrieves the credit card number and expiry date stored in the Setup Phase and a purchase transaction is formatted and processed to the card acquirer.

CardNumber2 transactions use the card expiry date stored with the token regardless of whether one is passed through in the transaction data. Once a successful transaction is processed using the real card number associated with a CardNumber2 token the expiry date stored with this token will be updated to that which was used to process the transaction. If your client application displays details of stored tokens to cardholders eg: masked number and expiry date, it is advisable upon a successful transaction for the merchant application to update the expiry date that is stored with the generated token.

1) Setup Phase

The setup phase consists of loading a card into Payment Express with a transaction. The transaction can be a Purchase or Validate or Auth transaction type. The transaction can be an online $0.00 Validate which will only process a non-financial (zero dollar or no hold) transaction that is used check that the card and cardholder’s account is valid. If the processing bank or acquirer does not support Validate then the Validate transaction request will be converted to an Auth transaction automatically.

Alternatively a $1.00 Auth transaction type request will determine that the card is valid and not on hot or stolen card lists but depending on the processing bank or acquirer the transaction may incur a temporary financial hold of the transaction amount.

The Purchase transaction type is used if the card is to be charged with an amount and tokenised at the same time.

To add a card for future rebilling, please include the following XML elements in the GetTransactionId web service call:

  • enableAddBillCard - set to 1 when adding a card
  • RecurringMode – required to be set within the transactionDetailsField as shown in the example request below
  • billingId (optional – recommended to parse the dpsBillingId returned in the response instead)

In the RecurringMode request field, please set one of the card storage reason as the string listed below.

When tokenising the card, please set one of the following:

RecurringMode Usage explanation
credentialonfileinitial Cardholder will save card and for future orders the cardholder selects to reuse the saved card for the one-off payment.
unscheduledcredentialonfileinitial Cardholder will save their card and for future order based on an event (such as topup) the merchant will reuse the saved card on behalf of the cardholder for the one-off payment.
recurringinitial Cardholder will save their card and merchant will reuse the saved card on behalf of cardholder for the subscribed recurring payments.
installmentinitial Cardholder will save their card and merchant will reuse the saved card on behalf of cardholder for the installment payments.

Please discuss with our Implementation and Sales team about your tokenisation use cases if you are unsure. The RecurringMode string value should be set based on the merchant’s business case for tokenising.

You can supply your own billing ID in the BillingId field or leave it blank and use the DpsBillingId returned in the response. We also recommend sending the unique txnRef and a merchantReference. This will make searching and identifying tokens/cards much easier.

Setup Token sample GetTransactionId web service call with RecurringMode in extra transaction details fields

2) Rebill Phase

The merchant application or Batch processor requests a new transaction and supplies the appropriate DpsBillingId or CardNumber2 or BillingId, RecurringMode (to specify the reason for rebilling with the token), MerchantReference (which appears on reports), and the amount to be charged using either PxPost or the Web Service API. EnableAddBillCard value will be set to "False" (or 0) for the rebill phase.

Payment Express retrieves the credit card number and expiry date stored in the Setup Phase and a purchase transaction is formatted and processed to the card acquirer.

Recurring Transactions

If transactions are being processed to an acquirer that supports and is configured for recurring transactions, the Payment Express account can also be setup to process recurring transactions only.

The main advantage of recurring transactions is that the ExpiryDate is not required. This further reduces the amount of data that needs to be stored for a merchant, and bypasses the issue of expired cards.

To setup your Payment Express account for recurring transaction processing only, please contact [email protected] (note: please ensure that your merchant bank account has been setup for recurring transactions).

Extended Airline Booking Data

PX Fusion is capable of handling extended booking information, which is used to display flight data on cardholders statements.

If you would like to add booking information to your transaction details you will need to set the EnablePaxInfo input property to "True" (or 1) and you will be able to use the following properties -
