Hosted Payments integration enables your eCommerce store to collect payments securely and is ideal for businesses that need a checkout page that:

- Links their custom-built website with the Converge payment gateway
- Allows Converge to handle card data and payment processing
- Is simple to implement and customer friendly
- Is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant

**Hosted Payments Page (HPP)** integration offers checkout/payment forms that are SAQ-A-compliant and that make collecting payment information from your customer easy, and without the payment data touching your server.

HPP provides a template that helps you create a modern, customized, and responsive checkout page. HPP also enables you to brand your checkout page with your business logo and color schemes.

## Payment and Transaction Types 

HPP integration supports the following transaction types of each payment type:

- **General**
    - :magic-link[General Sale - sale]{id="dbpurchase"}
    
- **Credit Card**
    - :magic-link[Sale - ccsale]{id="ccsale"}
   - :magic-link[Authorization Only - ccauthonly]{id="ccauth-only"}
   - :magic-link[Verification - ccverify]{id="ccverify"}
   - :magic-link[Add Recurring - ccaddrecurring]{id="ccaddrecurring"}
   - :magic-link[Add Installment - ccaddinstall`]{id="ccaddinstall"}
   - :magic-link[Get Token - ccgettoken]{id="ccgettoken"}

- **Electronic Check**
   - :magic-link[Sale - ecspurchase]{id="ecspurchase"}
   - :magic-link[Add Recurring - ecsaddrecurring]{id="ecsaddrecurring"}
   - :magic-link[Add Installment - ecsaddinstall]{id="ecsaddinstall"}

- **Gift Card**
  - :magic-link[Sale - egcsale]{id="egcsale"}  

## Language Values

Lightbox integration supports the following language values in the `ssl_language` field:

- en = US English
- fr = Canadian French

## Integration

To integrate with the Converge payment gateway through HPP, your will need to complete the following:

1.  Contact Software Technical Support Team or Customer Service.
2.  Customize your Hosted Payment Page checkout form.
3.  Develop the Payment Processing program.

### Contact Software Technical Support Team/Customer Service 

To implement HPP integration, you will need to contact the Software Technical Support Team or Customer Service by calling 1-800-377-3962 | Option 2 | Option 2, or by emailing <#sedevportalsupport@elavon.com>. They can help you with the following:

- Activate the HPP feature and add the necessary information to authenticate your transaction request when passed to Converge.
- Add the IP address of the server making the session token request to an "allowed" list.
- Designate a Converge user ID with a Hosted Payment API User status in order to post a session token request.


### Customize your Hosted Payment Page checkout form 

For more details on the configuration of the HPP checkout form, refer to the [customize hosted payments](https://support.convergepay.com/s/article/Customize-the-Hosted-Payments-Page) support article.

### Develop the Payment Processing program 

The Payment Processing program that you will develop must include session token request function, redirect to hosted payment form function and call back response handling function.

#### Session Token Request 

Your session token request function must include the following parameters:

| Field name | Description | Required | Length | Data type |
|--------|---------------------------------|-----------|------|-------------|
| `ssl_merchant_id` | Merchant ID<br>Elavon-assigned Converge Account ID (AID). | Required | 6 or 7 | numeric |
| `ssl_user_id` | Converge User ID<br>The user ID with hosted payment API user status that can send transaction requests through the terminal. | Required | 15 | alphanumeric |
| `ssl_pin` | Terminal ID<br>Unique identifier of the terminal that will process the transaction request and submit to the Converge gateway.<br>**Important:** The `ssl_user_id` sending the transaction request must be associated with the terminal that will process the request. | Required | 64 | alphanumeric |
| `ssl_transaction_type` | Transaction Type | Required | 20 | alphanumeric |
| `ssl_amount` | Transaction Amount<br>Data entry depends on the `ssl_transaction_type` value. | Conditional | 11 | numeric |

The endpoints to POST the session token request are as follows:

- **Demo Site:**  `https://api.demo.convergepay.com/hosted-payments/transaction_token`
- **Live Site:**  `https://api.convergepay.com/hosted-payments/transaction_token`

Your session token request function must be able to capture the session token response from Converge.

:::::notice{note}

- The session token response is only valid for 15 minutes and can only be used once.
- Make sure to URL encode the session token so that the special characters and symbols such as `+` and `&` are encoded properly. Failure to URL encode will result in a 401 error message.
:::::


#### Redirect to Hosted Payment Form 

Once the session token is obtained, you should redirect the customer's browser to HPP by posting the session token obtained previously. 

Your redirect to hosted payment form function must include this parameter:

| Field name | Description | Required | Length | Data type |
|--------|---------------------------------|-----------|------|-------------|
| `ssl_txn_auth_token` | Session Token Response | Required | 50 | alphanumeric |

The endpoints to POST the redirect request to are as follows:

- **Demo Site:**  `https://api.demo.convergepay.com/hosted-payments/`
- **Live Site:**  `https://api.convergepay.com/hosted-payments/`

#### Call Back Response Handling 

Based on your HPP configuration, Converge can post the transaction response to your website. You can use the response to update your backend system and display the appropriate response to the customer.

## HTML Sample Code

```html

### PHP Sample Code for HPP

This is an example PHP call to process a payment through Converge's HPP.

Information as requested can be provided in the code comments.

By default, the Converge Demo environment is the live url in this code. To use this code in production, remove the demo environment URL and uncomment the production URL.

```php
  <?php

   // Provide Converge Credentials
  $merchantID = "XXXXXX"; //Converge 6-Digit Account ID *Not the 10-Digit Elavon Merchant ID*
  $merchantUserID = "ConvergeAPIHostedUser"; //Converge User ID *MUST FLAG AS HOSTED API USER IN CONVERGE UI*
  $merchantPIN = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; //Converge PIN (64 CHAR A/N)


  $url = "https://api.demo.convergepay.com/hosted-payments/transaction_token"; // URL to Converge demo session token server
  //$url = "https://api.convergepay.com/hosted-payments/transaction_token"; // URL to Converge production session token server

  $hppurl = "https://api.demo.convergepay.com/hosted-payments"; // URL to the demo Hosted Payments Page
  //$hppurl = "https://api.convergepay.com/hosted-payments"; // URL to the production Hosted Payments Page


  /*Payment Field Variables*/

  // In this section, we set variables to be captured by the PHP file and passed to Converge in the curl request.

  $amount= '1.00'; //Hard-coded transaction amount for testing.

  //$amount  = $_POST['ssl_amount'];   //Capture ssl_amount as POST data
  //$firstname  = $_POST['ssl_first_name'];   //Capture ssl_first_name as POST data
  //$lastname  = $_POST['ssl_last_name'];   //Capture ssl_last_name as POST data
  //$merchanttxnid = $_POST['ssl_merchant_txn_id']; //Capture ssl_merchant_txn_id as POST data
  //$invoicenumber = $_POST['ssl_invoice_number']; //Capture ssl_invoice_number as POST data

  //Follow the above pattern to add additional fields to be sent in curl request below.


  $ch = curl_init();    // initialize curl handle
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); // set POST target URL
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, true); // set POST method
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

  //Build the request for the session id. Make sure all payment field variables created above get included in the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS section below.

  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
  "ssl_merchant_id=$merchantID".
  "&ssl_user_id=$merchantUserID".
  "&ssl_pin=$merchantPIN".
  "&ssl_transaction_type=ccsale".
  "&ssl_amount=$amount"
  );



  $result = curl_exec($ch); // run the curl to post to Converge

  if ($result === false) {
       echo 'Curl error message: '.curl_error($ch).'<br>';
       echo 'Curl error code: '.curl_errno($ch);
  } else {
     $httpstatus = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    if ($httpstatus == 200) {            
        $sessiontoken = urlencode($result);
  
  /* Now we redirect to the HPP */

  header("Location: https://api.demo.convergepay.com/hosted-payments?ssl_txn_auth_token=$sessiontoken");  //Demo Redirect
  //header("Location: https://api.convergepay.com/hosted-payments?ssl_txn_auth_token=$sessiontoken"); //Prod Redirect
   } else {
        echo 'Response: '.$result.'<br>';
        echo 'HTTP status: '.$httpstatus;
        }
    }

    curl_close($ch); // Close cURL

 

    exit;
