World Account Integration issues
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
There are several different ways to integrate your
site/shopping cart to the World Account. The way in
which information about purchases is passed between
your shop and the World Account payment service is
called the Integration method.
Below are the different methods available:
Submitting Transactions in the Redirect Model Guide
The Redirect integration method uses HTML messages
to pass information between your site and us. It is
the simplest and easiest method of integration and
will work on just about any platform.
What is the Redirect Model?
Submitting Transactions in the Redirect Model is
an online payment system that enables shoppers to
make secure payments in many currencies over the Internet.
It enables merchants like you to accept automated
multi-currency payments.
Our payment processing system works in conjunction
with your own shopping system: your website shop has
its own order pages, but uses our secure payment pages
for the processing of payments. This means you can
benefit from the various payment methods that we support,
such as:
-
Credit/debit
cards - we gather card details in our secure payment
pages, there is no need for you to do this,
-
Paypal (express
checkout). When PayPal is enabled as a payment method
on your account, the PayPal logo is added to payment
method selection page - automatically, there is
no need for you to do this. When a shopper clicks
on the PayPal logo, they will be re-directed to
PayPal to process their payment as for any other
PayPal payment
-
FuturePay
- this is an internet-based equivalent of traditional
standing order and direct debit facilities. It enables
you to make arrangements for subscription payments
or payment by instalments.
All payment processing is handled by our secure server,
so you and your shoppers can be confident that their
payment details are safe.
Nothing to Install
There is nothing to install with the Redirect Model.
All you need is a working Internet connection and
your Installation ID.
Quick and Simple, or Complex
If you are familiar with HTML you can choose to set-up
a simple integration using examples provided in this
guide - and to make use of our standard payment pages
- all you need to do is to copy a few lines of HTML
and paste them into your website page.
If you have advanced HTML skills you can develop
your own fully automated ordering system, complete
with customised payment pages.
Note that you can even integrate using a single URL
query string.
The choice is yours.
Other Tools we Provide
- HTML payment responses- every
authorisation and capture as well as every other status
in the life-cycle of a payment are reported via http
messages to your system (and optionally via email).
You can use this information to update your in-house
systems / generate your own reports.
- Email receipts- you
can choose to receive automatic email receipts notifying
you of each payment that is processed. For more information,
please refer to the Payments and Orders Guide.
Using Callbacks
You can set-up the Redirect Model integration (RMI)
to suit your own requirements by configuring various
options. For instance, you can upload your own versions
of the payment pages that are displayed to your shoppers,
and you can specify that you want to use the Payment
Notifications (Callbacks) feature.
When a shopper makes an order at your website and starts
to pay, our 'callback' feature enables you to automatically
return information from us to your webserver. Many shopping
carts make extensive use of this feature, to manage
your shopper's orders more effectively.

callback feature, please click

Customising
You can highly customise the Payment Service, including
the payment pages, the result pages displayed after
a transaction has taken place, and the confirmation
emails that you and your shoppers receive.
We provide a Payment Page Editor which enables you
to carry out a range of standard customising tasks and
is the simplest and fastest way to customise your payment
page. You access the Payment Page Editor via Merchant
Administration Interface's Installations Page, for further
details please refer to Opening the Payment Page Editor.
For a more sophisticated level of customisation you
will need to modify the files used to build the Payment
Service. To do this you will need to refer to the Advanced
Customising Guide and have expertise with HTML and the
tools we provide in the Payment Page Editor.
Shopping Cart and/or Bespoke Integration
We have a comprehensive range of technical guides and
application 'plug-ins' that are made available to you
on application. Including a FREE integration manual
and 24/7 tech support. When you apply
for Web-Merchants World Account, you will be asked
about your proposed web site so you can be sure to receive
the correct integration information.

cart software applications currently available in the
