Choose separator
Choose separator which will separateour cookie and ref value. We will use || in this example. Youhave to configure Paymate plugin to use this separator. Go to Plugins > Paymate > Configure > Custom Value Separator.
Paymate Button
Every paymate button code must be updated from image link to from.
Original button looks like this:
<div align="center">
<p>
<a onclick="self.name = 'parent';" target="_blank" href="https://www.paymate.com/PayMate/ExpressPayment?mid=testmerchant&amt=58&ref=refnum&return=https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/yourscript.php"><img src="https://www.paymate.com/homepage/images/butt_PayNow.gif" border="0" alt="Pay with Paymate Express"></a>
<br />Pay with Paymate Express
</p>
</div>
Now you must substitute it with code below and copy colored values there from code above:
<form action=https://www.paymate.com/PayMate/ExpressPayment method=get>
<input name="mid" type="hidden" value="testmerchant"/>
<input name="return" type="hidden" value="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/yourscript.php"/>
<input type="hidden" id="pap_ab45c37" name="ref" value='refnum'> <input type="hidden" name="amt" value='58'>
<input alt="Paymate Express"src="https://www.paymate.com/homepage/images/butt_PayNow.gif" type="image"/>
</form>
Integration code
Now add the following code into EVERY Paymate button form. Please make sure that the custom field you have in your button has id=”pap_ab45c37″.
<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/trackjs.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">PostAffTracker.setAccountId('Account_ID');
PostAffTracker.setAppendValuesToField('||');
PostAffTracker.writeCookieToCustomField('pap_ab45c37');
</script>
This will ensure that referrer will be added to the custom field after the specified separator.
Integration with your processing script – part 1
Now the return callback is pointed to your script. This callback has to beforwarded also to PAP paymate.php script, which url is https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/Paymate/paymate.php.
In case, your paymate processing script is in PHP, you can use followingcode to accomplish that. You can place it at the beginning of your processing file.
/* PAP integration */
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/Paymate/paymate.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST);
curl_exec($ch);
/* end of PAP integration */
Integration with your processing script – part 2
The custom parameter is in format refValue||PapValue. Inorder for 3rd party system to work correctly you need to parse refValue from the custom parameter.
To do this add followingcode right after Paymate verification:
<?php
$separator = '||';
if ($_POST['ref'] != '') {
$explodedCustomValue = explode($separator, $_POST['ref'], 2);
if (count($explodedCustomValue) == 2) {
$_REQUEST['ref'] = $_POST['ref'] = $explodedCustomValue[0];
}
}
?>
