Verisign / Payflow Pro

[Ed Lazor]

Hi =)

I saw PHP has built-in support for Cybercash, but that Verisign has
purchased them. It looks like I'll have to go with Payflow Pro, but I'm
wondering if PHP has built-in support, available modules, or what the best
approach is. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

-Ed

PHP does indeed have support for Payflow Pro. See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pfpro.php.

All these functions do is ship off the data to Verisign and return the
response to a variable. You still need to assemble the data in Payflow
format and then handle the response codes.

I've written my own purchasing procedure which compiles the information in
Payflow format (including Level 3 line item transaction data), passes it to
Payflow Pro, handles the response codes, and stores the data in text files
which get downloaded to an offline system, and finally imported into the
offline database for historical and reconcilliation purposes.

Enjoy,
