Compatibility with Salesforce Commerce Cloud version Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA).

  • v5
  • v6
PCI compliancy

SAQ A

The plugin’s in-built features ensure this security level, but you still need to get the certificate from your acquirer.

Once done, follow these steps:

  1. Install cartridge
    You can use the cartridge with Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA). Install the cartridge to your project root directory at the same level as storefront-reference-architecture. Have a look at this folder structure example:
    
    my-project/
    |-- link_worldline_direct/
    |  |-- cartridges/
    |  |  |-- bm_worldline_direct/
    |  |  |-- int_worldline_direct/
    |  |-- documentation/
    |  |-- metadata/
    |-- storefront-reference-architecture
    |  |-- cartridges/
    |  |  |-- app_storefront_base/
    |  |  |-- modules/
    

If you have renamed the storefront-reference-architecture folder, make sure to update the base path in package.json.

  1. Install Node modules
    From the cartridge’s root directory, install Node modules using your command line:
    
    npm install

  2. Build code
    From the cartridge’s root directory, compile the client-side assets using your command line:
    
    npm run build
  3. Upload code
    Upload int_worldline_direct and bm_worldline_direct using Commerce Cloud UX Studio or
    sgmf-scripts command line utils.

  4. Import metadata
    To add new configuration items, import the predefined metadata by following these steps:
    • Open the /metadata/site_import/sites/ folder.
    • Rename the yourSiteId folder to the ID of your site in the Business Manager.
    • Zip the site_import folder.
    • In the Business Manager, go to Administration > Site Development > Site Import & Export and import the zipped file.


    After the import, attributes named WorldlineDirect[attributeName] are added to Administration > Site Development. >.

    System Object Types > Site Preferences > Attribute Definitions
    System Object Types > Order > Attribute Definitions
    System Object Types > OrderPaymentInstrument > Attribute Definitions
    System Object Types > CustomerPaymentInstrument > Attribute Definitions
    Custom Object Types

    The service worldline.https.direct.yourSiteId is added to Administration > Operations > Services.

Configuration

After the installation, you need to configure the plugin to link your store to our platform.

You need to enforce HTTPS in the Salesforce Commerce Cloud to be compatible with the Chrome v80 policy.

Login to the Business Manager. Set the following values in the menus and confirm by clicking "Apply" or "Save":

Set Cartridge paths

To embed an external module and link it with the Business manager, follow these steps:

    • Go to Administration > Sites > Manage Sites > [yourSite] > Settings. Enter the following in "Cartridges":

      int_worldline_direct:app_storefront_base
The image above shows where to add the value in the Settings menu
    • Go to Administration > Sites > Manage Sites > Manage the Business Manager site > Settings. Enter the following in front of any other existing cartridges:

      bm_worldline_direct:int_worldline_direct:bm_app_storefront_base:bm_custom_plugin
The image above shows where to add the value in the Settings menu

Define Business Manager permissions

Manage the access rights of the module to ensure correct interaction with your Business manager and storefronts:

    • Go to Administration > Organization > Roles & Permissions. Click on the role you want to update in the table. Go to Business Manager Modules.
    • In the "Select context" pop-up, select all storefront sites that will use Worldline-Direct Payments Cartridge.

Configure credentials for Test/Live environment

To target our test/live environment and make sure that your requests are legitimate, you need to configure URL endpoints and an API key/secret pair linked to a specific PSPID.

  • Go to Administration > Operations > Services. Open the “Credentials” tab.
  • Click on the worldline.https.direct.yourSiteId.TEST in column “Name” in the table to configure either test/live. Perform the action for both environments.
The image above shows where to select the name representing the test/live environment
  • Enter the following in the table:
Property Description/Actions
Name Replace yourSiteId with the actual ID for your site.
URL The test or live endpoint on our platform. Copy them from our dedicated guide.
User Enter the API key of your test or live PSPID. Read our dedicated guide to learn how to generate one.
Password Enter the API secret of your test or live PSPID. Read our dedicated guide to learn how to generate one.
  • Open the Services Tab. Click on worldline.https.direct.yourSiteId and enter the following in the table:
Property Description/Actions
Name Replace yourSiteId with the actual ID for your site.
Communication Log On test environments, the communication log could be enabled for debugging purposes.
Credentials Check the updated service credentials are selected.

Perform the action for both environments.

  • Read our dedicated guides about API endpoints and authentication to get a thorough understanding about the test/live environment and API key/API secret.
  • We strongly recommend configuring a separate name for both our test and live environment. This will allow you to manually switch from one environment to the other easily.
  • Make sure not to mix up credential from test with live and vice versa.

Set up Merchant ID, Data Locale and Operation code

Every transaction is channeled via a test/live PSPID on our platform. You also need to define whether our platform processes transactions in authorisation or direct sale mode. If your customers’ native language is different than English, you also need to define the language of the payment pages via the locale.

  • Go to Merchant tools > Site Preferences > Custom Preferences. Click on “WORLDLINE_DIRECT” in column “ID” for setting up your general configuration to connect your store to our platform. Perform the actions as stated in the table:
The image above shows where to select the ID to be configured
  • Enter the following data on the site:
Property Description/Actions
Merchant ID Enter the PSPID on our platform you want to use for transaction processing
Date Locale Optional – only relevant if your storefront site uses a different locale than English
You must set the Date pattern in an unused English locale. ie.: en_EN , en_CA

Used to generate a signature to authenticate requests sent to our platform. One of the headers used to generate this signature is the date, which needs to be in a specific format.

The locale also defines the language of the payment pages.

To set up the locale, follow these steps:

  • Go to Administration > Global Preferences > Locales. Click on a locale from the list (column “Locale ID”).
  • Go to tab Regional settings. Enter “EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z” in Date Settings > Long Date Pattern.
  • Go back to Merchant tools > Site Preferences > Custom Preferences > WORLDLINE_DIRECT. Enter the locale from the list (column “Locale ID”) you have just configured.

Make sure to use only locales that are available on our platform. Find a full overview for both Hosted Checkout Page and Hosted Tokenization Page here.

Operation code

Define whether to process the transactions as authorisation mode or as direct sale. Select one of the following options:

  • Authorisation (FINAL_AUTHORISATION): the amount is only blocked on your customer's card. Successful transactions will have StatusCode=5 (this is used when you wish to capture a transaction only after shipping the article).
  • Sale (SALE): the amount has been ordered to be paid out in one go. Successful transactions will have StatusCode=9.

If you authorise payments only, make sure that you capture them later. Only then will the transaction reach StatusCode=9, for which you receive funds.

Use either a

  • Automatic Capture Job: You can set the capture delay of X days in the given field. At the end of this duration, a cron job will capture the transaction automatically.
  • Custom capture procedure: You can manually capture funds fully / partially by opening an individual order once you have delivered the goods/services.
Checkout Type

You can process card payments either via Hosted Tokenization Page or Hosted Checkout Page, whereas the alternative payment methods are available only via Hosted Checkout Page.

3DS settings
  • Set Enforce Strong Customer Authentication to Yes or No.
  • Some markets allow you to potentially exempt your customers from a 3-D Secure check. Set Exemption for transactions under 30 EUR to Yes or No.
Apply Surcharge

Make sure that the Surcharging is activated in your PAYONE account.

Set Line Item Prices to the API

Set to YES to make sure payment methods that require line item prices work.

Depending on your business volume for near real-time transaction processing, we recommend setting the job schedule between 1 and 5 minutes. The default value for job schedules is 5 minutes.

Find a thorough overview on possible webhook events in our dedicated documentation.

Test connection

Once you have completed all the steps, verify the configuration by establishing a test connection between the plugin and our platform:

  • Go to Merchant Tools > Ordering > Worldline-Direct Transactions. Click on the “Test API connection” button. Check that the appearing dialogue box states “Connection to the Worldline-Direct API succeeded”.
The image above shows where to find the “Test API connection” button in the Business Manager

Manage payments

We have designed the plugin to follow-up on your orders automatically and autonomously, freeing you from the administration involved. Learn here how to use our plugin effectively which could help your business to thrive!

Follow-up on orders Check payment status / Process unconfirmed orders

To make sure

  • your platform registers successful payments (StatusCode=5 or 9 and Status=”PAYMENT_CREATED”) as such and not as unfinished (because of a failed redirection of your customers to the Salesforce Commerce Cloud website.
  • authorised transactions are finalised by a capture (If you choose Operation Code: Authorisation during the initial order).

the plugin implements the “Check payment status job”. Follow these steps to make them work:

  • Modify property cancelUnconfirmedOrderAfterHours to the desired amount of hours after which the plugin cancels an order in a pending status.
  • Check out how to capture authorisations automatically or manually.

Capture authorisation automatically

If you choose to authorise transactions only during the initial order, our plugin will capture them for you at a later point. You can define the intervals and the timing for the captures based on your business requirements.

Go to Administration > Jobs > WorldlineCaptureAuthorizedPayments > Schedule and History. Perform the actions as stated in the table for the respective capture mode:

Capture mode Description/Actions
Capture authorisations several times a day
    • Check the “Enable” checkbox
    • Set “Trigger” to “Recurring interval”
    • Set “Interval” to “Hours” and “Amount” to the desired time span (in hours) that should pass between the captures
    • Define the time of the initial capture in “From”. Counting from this time, captures are run every X hour you defined in “Amount”
    • Set “WorldlineDirectCaptureProcedureDelay” to define which authorisations from X days ago should be captured
Capture payments at the end of the day
    • Check the “Enable” checkbox
    • Set “Trigger” to “Recurring interval”
    • Set “Interval” to “Days” and “Amount” to “1”
    • Define the time of the capture in “From”
    • Set “WorldlineDirectCaptureProcedureDelay” to “0” to ensure all pending authorisations are captured at the end of the same day without any delay

The timing of the captures depends on the time zone you have configured in the Business Manager. Check this on the bottom of your browser.

Perform maintenance operations

Captures, refunds and cancellations of authorisations are standard processes (also known as maintenance operations) in your everyday business logic. Learn here how to perform these operations in the Business manager:

Go to Merchant Tools > Ordering > Worldline-Direct Transactions. Look up the transaction in question and click on “Details” in column “Category”. The dialogue box shows the possible actions you can perform on a transaction. Perform the action as stated in the table to perform the respective maintenance operations.
