Using Profound UI to Collect Hosted Credit Card payments

Post by LoriAustin »

Has anyone collected credit card payments from within a Profound UI screen? I am wondering if we need to try a node.js solution or if we can use hosted page credit card processing with RPG / Profound UI.

I think your question is really "how do I process credit cards from RPG?", right? Or, am I misunderstanding?

Whether you use green-screen, HTML, Profound UI, or any other screen technology isn't really relevant here, is it? Credit card info isn't any different from any other data on a screen. The question is more about how to process it in RPG... ?

In Node.js, it seems like it's pretty much the same thing, too. I'm not sure why this would be any different from RPG.

Can you explain where you are stuck? I'm kind of lost.

In a hosted page you don't actually have the credit card data, a third party is collecting the information. The finance department chose the third party company and I am trying to make some sense of their developer guide. You pass the user to their page with a generated Buy Button (HTML). That's the easy part. Their page can pass back some data, but I'm not sure how to receive it from them. We just need a confirmation that the payment was successful so we can write a payment record to our database. They use POST requests. They have examples for using javascript, PHP or XML, so I think we have several options. I'm wondering which is best and if it can be integrated with RPG & Profound UI or if we will have to use Node.js.
