Protx system changes - 1st August 2007
Question
I use the Protx payment gateway and received an email from Protx informing me of changes that they will be implementing from 1st August 2007. How does this impact my CactuShop store?
Answer
This KB article only applies to sites using the Protx payment gateway. If you do not process orders through Protx, please ignore this entire article.
The changes are not major and do not require your scripts to be updated. However, some changes to your config settings in CactuShop will be required.
PROTX_URL config setting
This should be changed to:
https://ukvps.protx.com/vspgateway/service/vspform-register.vsp
For testing, use this URL:
https://ukvpstest.protx.com/vspgateway/service/vspform-register.vsp
PROTX_TxType config setting
PAYMENT will still continue as before - if your store is using this setting, you don't need to change it. PREAUTH and REPEAT are being discontinued and you should consult Protx's documentation or contact Protx support for further information to determine which alternatives to use.
Protx is making some other changes to the templating system for their gateway pages, as well as to the general payment process. You should consult Protx documentation for further details - Protx gateway customization is outside the scope of CactuShop documentation and support.
