DESCRIPTION

This module is a back end driver that implements the interface specified by Business::OnlinePayment to support payment handling via TransFirst's eLink Internet payment solution.

See Business::OnlinePayment for details on the interface this modules supports.

Standard methods

set_defaults()

This method sets the 'server' attribute to 'epaysecure1.transfirst.com' and the port attribute to '443'. This method also sets up the "Module specific methods" described below.

submit()

Unofficial methods

This module provides the following methods which are not officially part of the standard Business::OnlinePayment interface (as of 3.00_06) but are nevertheless supported by multiple gateways modules and expected to be standardized soon:

order_number()
avs_code()
cvv2_response()

Module specific methods

This module provides the following methods which are not currently part of the standard Business::OnlinePayment interface:

expdate_mmyy()
debug()

Settings

The following default settings exist:

server

epaysecure1.transfirst.com

port

443

Handling of content(%content)

The following rules apply to content(%content) data:

type

If 'type' matches one of the following keys it is replaced by the right hand side value:

'visa'               => 'CC',
'mastercard'         => 'CC',
'american express'   => 'CC',
'discover'           => 'CC',
'check'              => 'ECHECK',

The value of 'type' is used to set transaction_type(). Currently this module only supports the above values.

Setting TransFirst eLink parameters from content(%content)

The following rules are applied to map data to TransFirst eLink parameters from content(%content):

# eLink param       => $content{<key>}
  ePayAccountNum    => 'login',
  Password          => 'password',
  OrderNum          => 'invoice_number',
  OrderNumber       => 'invoice_number',

  TransactionAmount => 'amount',
  DollarAmount      => 'amount',
  CardAccountNum    => 'card_number',
  ExpirationDate    => \( $month.$year ), # MM/YY from 'expiration'
  CVV2              => 'cvv2',

  RoutingNumber     => 'routing_code',
  AccountNumber     => \( $type eq 'CC' ? $card_number : $account_number ),
  CheckNumber       => 'check_number',

  CardHolderName    => 'name',
  CardHolderAddress => 'address',
  CardHolderCity    => 'city',
  CardHolderState   => 'state',
  CardHolderZip     => \$zip,       # 'zip' with non-alphanumerics removed
  CardHolderEmail   => 'email',
  CardHolderPhone   => 'phone',
  CardHolderCountry => 'country',

  CustomerName      => 'name',
  CustomerAddress   => 'address',
  CustomerCity      => 'city',
  CustomerState     => 'state',
  CustomerZip       => \$zip,       # 'zip' with non-alphanumerics removed
  CustomerEmail     => 'email',
  CustomerPhone     => 'phone',

  PaymentDescriptor => 'description',

Mapping TransFirst eLink transaction responses to object methods

The following methods provides access to the transaction response data resulting from a Payflow Pro request (after submit()) is called:

order_number()

This order_number() method returns the ReferenceNum field for card transactions and TransactionId for check transactions to uniquely identify the transaction.

result_code()

The result_code() method returns the Extended Transaction Status field for card transactions and the Result Code field for check transactions. It is the numeric return code indicating the outcome of the attempted transaction.

error_message()

The error_message() method returns the Errors field for check transactions. This provides more details about the transaction result.

authorization()

The authorization() method returns the Authorization Response Code field, which is the approval code obtained from the card processing network.

avs_code()

The avs_code() method returns the AVS Response Code field from the transaction result.

cvv2_response()

The cvv2_response() method returns the CVV2 Response Code field, which is a response message returned with the transaction result.

expdate_mmyy()

The expdate_mmyy() method takes a single scalar argument (typically the value in $content{expiration}) and attempts to parse and format and put the date in MMYY format as required by PayflowPro specification. If unable to parse the expiration date simply leave it as is and let the PayflowPro system attempt to handle it as-is.

debug()

Enable or disble debugging. The value specified here will also set $Business::OnlinePayment::HTTPS::DEBUG in submit() to aid in troubleshooting problems.

COMPATIBILITY

This module implements an interface to the TransFirst eLink API version 3.4
