Setcom (Auto-post used by other script) integration
Setcom integrates using Auto-post callback. Use this integration if you are using Auto-post for another purpose, such as some kind of digital delivery or membership registration etc.
To integrate with Setcom, you need Setcom plugin which is distributed with PAP by default.
Configure plugin
First you must activate Setcom plugin in PAP > Start menu > Plugins. After plugin it’s activated you must configure it. Click Configure button. You must set your Merchant username, password which you are using to log into your merchant panel. Merchant identifier is located in your Setcom merchant panel Top menu > My account > Overview tab. Leave custom value separator blank.
SetUp your Setcom settings
Login to your Setcom merchant panel. In **_top menu > Profile > Selling Preferences _**select Website Payment Preferences. Make sure that Auto-post is set to on and that Auto-post URL is set to https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/Setcom/setcom.php.
Do not forget save your settings.
Update Buttons
Now add the following code into EVERY Setcom (Buy now, Add to cart and/or Checkout) button form:
<input type="hidden" name="MerchCustom" value="" id="pap_dx8vc2s5">
For example:
<form action="https://www.setcom.com/secure/index.cfm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="buttonaction" value="buynow">
<input type="hidden" name="merchantidentifier" value="12345678920">
<input type="hidden" name="liddesc" value="auticko">
<input type="hidden" name="lidsku" value="a123">
<input type="hidden" name="lidprice" value="150.00">
<input type="hidden" name="lidqty" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="CurrencyAlphaCode" value="ZAR">
<input type="hidden" name="LIDExpiry" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="ShippingRequired" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVoucher" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="Option1Name" value="custom">
<input type="hidden" name="Option1Value" value="oldCustom">
<input type="hidden" name="MerchCustom" value="" id="pap_dx8vc2s5">
<input type="image" src="https://www.setcom.com/www/graphics/cartbuttons/bn6.gif">
</form>
After this form you must insert:
<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/notifysale.php" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> PostAffTracker.setAppendValuesToField('||'); PostAffTracker.writeCookieToCustomField('pap_ab78y5t4a'); </script>
Integration with your script
Now the Auto-post callback is pointed to your script. This callback has to be forwarded also to PAP paypal.php script, which url is https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/Setcom/setcom.php.
In case, your Setcom processing script is in PHP, you can use following code 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/Setcom/setcom.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST);
curl_exec($ch);
/* end of PAP integration */
This will ensure that whole Auto-post callback will be forwarded without affecting your original script
