payfabric / apis Goto Github PK

While attempting to create an integration, and following these guides:

• https://www.payfabric.com/us/developers.html
• https://github.com/PayFabric/APIs/blob/master//PayFabric/Sections/Transactions.md

The required value SetupId is not explained well. The item is bolded to indicate that it is required, but a value is supplied, as if to suggest a viable default value of "PFP". This value took multiple developers hours to find and update.

Suggest updating the documentation to explain where in the PayFabric web UI this value originates from.

via the following API: https://github.com/PayFabric/APIs/blob/master/PayFabric/Sections/Wallets.md

Used this sandbox card: 5555 5555 5555 7462 | Causes a payment to be DECLINED

The card is not getting delined, I did not see any card being declined, how can we validate this?

We are doing a pre-auth (Book) request using the hosted page. When the call returns we are getting our user defined values back in the TrxUserDefinedX fields. We then do some processing on our side and try to capture the payment by using the ?trxtype=SHIP endpoint on the Book transaction. When processing completes we get a brand new transaction back. But the new transaction has thrown away all the user-defined fields so we lose the data we had stored.

This may be by design but it introduces problems. Without the user defined data we cannot link the transaction back to our data. Our original plan was to store a unique identifier in these fields that will work its way to the backend processor such that when we got our monthly report from them we have something to compare against our side of the fence for reconciliation like we do in our existing payment system. But without the user defined fields that doesn't seem possible.

Need to document how to take an book transaction and do a partial capture "ship" of the amount. Then what do to do capture the remainder for a second shipment.

For our application, it is possible for documents to have items with $0.00 unit prices - reason being that if a company decided to give an item to a customer for free, they could still have that one item allocated to the document.

We would like to show this item on the document, but with the unit price being $0.00 so the customer knows they're receiving this item for free.

Currently when you try to add an item with a unit price of $0.00, you get an error message saying "Unit Price is invalid" or something along those lines.

Thank you!

It appears that in the sandbox the transaction key is simply the date/time (yyMMddhhmmss). Does this mean that I can only generate 1 transaction request per second? What if I have multiple applications running simultaneously and they happen to try to create a transaction at the same time. Will I get potentially duplicate keys?

Hello,

We would like to use the PaymentProfileId created on a hosted PayFabric wallet management page as an argument to the CreateTransaction and ProcessTransaction API endpoints. We had designed our solution in this way to avoid needing to handle Account Numbers and ABA numbers in our server side code. The other consideration is that our invoice payment code runs via windows service so we cannot use a hosted payment page.

When we create a transaction in Payfabric we are setting one of the user defined fields to a value. When we later get that transaction back the user defined fields are all blank. This limits the usefulness of the user defined fields.

Can I assume the transaction was successfully processed if the transaction status is "More Info"?
I am referring to https://github.com/PayFabric/APIs/blob/master/PayFabric/Sections/Objects.md#transaction-response

Thank you

The base URLs are inconsistently defined. Given the resource URL for creating token creation - {baseUrl}/token/create -

On the readme pages it says to use https://sandbox.payfabric.com/payment/api. This generates a 401 even though the credentials appear correct.

In the C# samples it uses https://sandbox.payfabric.com/v3/Payfabric/rest/api. This generates a 404.

In the Java samples it uses https://sandbox.payfabric.com/rest/v1/api. Didn't try this URL.

Hi,

I'm using example code snippet of node.js for Create Transaction but didn't get any key in return from postman.
{
"SetupId" : "PFP",
"Type" : "Sale",
"Customer" : "PayFabric",
"Amount" : 19.99,
"Currency" : "USD",
"Card" : {
"Account" : "4111111145551142",
"ExpDate": "0330",
"CardHolder" : {
"FirstName" : "John",
"LastName" : "Doe"
}
}
}

In the L2/L3 field documentation here the documentation is unclear on some things.

Commodity Code

It mentions that the commodity code is required and that you should refer to the documentation to the right to get the right one for your industry. But there is no actual list given anywhere. Please link to or provide a list of commodity codes that should be used.

Also please consider clarifying whether this is a fixed list that is validated or simply a required field.

Required fields do not line up with UI

In the Gateway Profile UI where you enable L2/L3 fields it provides a list of required fields (and some optional ones) and the tooltip has some basic information. But the UI doesn't line up with the required fields in the docs. For example freight amount is listed as required in the docs but not exposed in the UI. Shipping country is in the UI as required but not listed in the docs. It is unclear whether the documentation is up to date with the UI or not.

The TrxDate we get back from a transaction response seems to be in the local time of the remote endpoint rather than UTC. This makes it impossible for us to convert that date/time to our local timezone format.

Ex: We (in Central timezone) see the date as 2:00 PM when it is 4:00 PM our time.

Because we are using AuthenticationHeaderValue from .NET to authenticate to PayFabric we wanted to use basic auth. The documentation says it should work but it doesn't. I tried in Postman as well.

However the documentation shows 2 different values being used so I'm unclear if there is an issue with the API or the documentation is wrong. In the comments about basic auth it says the format is {DCN}{DeviceId}:{Password} but it doesn't define what DCN is. However in the code example it just uses the device ID and password as I would expect. However trying to do this in Postman generates a 401. I know the info is correct because if I switch over to using the other auth approach it works correctly.
