Plastic with BarclayCard

[tv_kid]

Hi there

 

Do you know if it's possible to use Plastic with the BarclayCard ePDQ gateway?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Up until today, we have been running a small php page, triggered from FileMaker that pass the payment and vendor details over to the Barclaycard ePDQ engine for payment processing. For the buyer using a website or FileMaker database, or even just a link from an email, it takes him straight to the ePDQ payment site where he arranges the payment to the vendors account.

 

However, today Barclaycard broke all this by demanding encryption for all traffic between the vendor server and the ePDQ server, so we have to rewrite the PHP code and have yet to have it fixed.

 

But anyway, the answer to your question is that is is possible and not very difficult if you are good at this sort of thing. Otherwise the whole process looks pretty incomprehensible and the technical help from Barclaycard is close to nil.

 

Best of luck, Anatole

Just an additional note to add to this is that we fixed the script with a bit of help from Barclaycard and it nows works once again. The good side of this method is that no CC details are held on system, so no security issues.... just money in the bank.
