How to integrate PostAffiliatePro with SolidTrustPay

To integrate with SolidTrustPay, you need SolidTrustPay plugin which is distributed with PAP by default.

Activate the plugin

Right after you activate SolidTrustPay plugin, you need to setup it. Login to your merchant panel. Go to menu Start > Plugins. Now click Configure button in SolidTrustPay plugin item. Here you must setup number of custom item. This represents number of item (1 to 10) which will be carrying visitor information for PAP.

Next thing, you must set, is your secondary password from your SolidTrustPay merchant account (you enter this when you register new SolidTrustPay account). Leave Custom value separator empty. Now click Save to save your settings.

Update your code

You must now update all your SolidTrustPay button codes. Here is an example of original code generated by SolidTrustPay:

<FORM action="https://solidtrustpay.com/handle.php" method="post">
    <input type=hidden name="merchantAccount" value="merchnat_account_login_name">
    <input type=hidden name="amount" value="15">
    <input type=hidden name="item_id" value="testCupp">
    <input type=hidden name="currency" value="USD" />
    <input type=image name="cartImage" src="https://solidtrustpay.com/htdocs/images/buttons/pay2.gif">
</form>

Now you must update all button codes like this:

<FORM action="https://solidtrustpay.com/handle.php" method="post">
    <input type=hidden name="testmode" value="on" />
    <input type=hidden name="merchantAccount" value="merchnat_account_login_name">
    <input type=hidden name="amount" value="15">
    <input type=hidden name="item_id" value="testCupp">
    <input type=hidden name="currency" value="USD" />

    <input type=hidden name="notify_url" value="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/SolidTrustPay/solidtrustpay.php">
    <input type=hidden name="cancel_url" value="">
    <input type=hidden name="user1" value="" id="pap_dx8vc2s5">

    <input type=image name="cartImage" src="https://solidtrustpay.com/htdocs/images/buttons/pay2.gif">
</form>

Note: number 1 in item named user1 is number, that you entered in step one as Number of custom item.

Add tracking code

Now you must add to every page that contains some SolidTrustPay buttons this tracking code:

<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.notifySale();
</script>

If you use MD5 security hash, then make sure the ‘secondary password’ that you use in it is also set up in the plugin configuration.

What is SolidTrustPay?

SolidTrustPay is a versatile payment processing platform that functioned as both an online payment processor and an E-Wallet provider. Established to facilitate secure and efficient online transactions, SolidTrustPay allowed users to transfer and receive money globally, integrate payment solutions into online businesses, and manage funds through its secure E-Wallet service. Catering to a diverse user base, it supported multiple account types and offered a range of features including membership cards, an affiliate program, and a robust API for card acceptance and secure transactions.

SolidTrustPay announced the termination of its business operations effective April 1st, 2020, attributing the shutdown to “regulatory conditions” and economic challenges. Founded by Marc and Stella Heimstra in Canada, the platform grew to amass over a million members worldwide. Despite its initial success, SolidTrustPay faced significant regulatory pressures over the years. The platform was noted on lists of scam payment methods by some users, which contributed to its declining reputation and eventual shutdown.

SolidTrustPay targeted merchants seeking secure online payment processing solutions and individuals in need of a flexible e-wallet system. By focusing on underbanked populations through strategic partnerships, SolidTrustPay aimed to expand financial access for users with traditionally limited banking options. It serviced global transactions, providing affordable rates that appealed to a broad audience, including those in regions underserved by conventional banking services.
