FirstData Connect

This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

This project integrates First Data Connect payment solution into the Drupal Commerce payment and checkout systems.
- First Data EMEA Web Service API– The Web Service API is an Application Programming Interface which allows you to connect your application with the First Data Merchant Solutions (FDMS) Payment Gateway. Using this method, your application is able to submit credit and debit card transactions without any user interference. This is not however a redirect page and all merchants have the opportunity to design their own payment forms.

- First Data (EMEA) Connect (hosted payment page) - The hosted payment page (redirect) offers a convenient way to accept online payments.

First Data Connect offers a combined Payment Gateway and merchant services solution in one. It provides a simple way for connecting an online store to the FDMS Connect Payment Gateway (Connect Gateway). The Connect Gateway manages all electronic communications with payment card processors and financial institutions.

Supported Payment Modes. The Connect Gateway offers three different payment modes. This allows the user to pre-define the range of data that will be captured.Depending on your individual business process, you can choose a mode that only collects payment data or transmit details for the invoice or shipping address for example.Your business processes may have various complexities, where you may wish to integrate the FDMS web service API solution;
PayOnly Mode. PayOnly mode collects a minimum set of information for the transaction via the FDMS hosted payment page. A single page is presented to the cardholder to enter the payment information (e.g. credit card number, expiry data and CSVcode) for payment authorisation. This mode assumes you have already collected the entire customer’s address and contact information on your web server before re-directing the cardholder to the FDMS hosted payment page. Therefore, if your business requires customers address details etc., please ensure your website has already done this prior to re-directing the cardholder to the hosted payment page.
PayPlus Mode. PayPlus mode enables the FDMS hosted payment page to collect a full set of billing information. Once the cardholder is directed to the payment page, they are presented with two pages, one for the billing information and one for the payment information. This mode is a hybrid of the other two supported modes (i.e. FullPay and PayOnly). This allows you to build a form to collect the information you want to send to the Connect Gateway (there is a standard list of fields, plus you can add your own custom fields); the Connect Gateway then takes over, collecting the secure transaction information and reports it to you.
FullPay Mode. FullPay mode enables the FDMS hosted payment page to collect all available information (billing, shipping, and payment information). It allows you to send the order (transaction) total to FDMS and the Connect Gateway will collect all other required information. FullPay mode does all the work for you, you only need to pass the charge total to the Connect Gateway via your Website.

Additional Features include;

3D secure–The First Data (EMEA) Connect module will always require 3D secure authentication and SSL certificate for merchants. If you do not wish your customers to use authentication please contact First Data Connect support stating you wish to bypass 3D secure for your merchant account. 3D Secure is not available as standard through the Web Service API
Data Vault (Tokenisation) - a feature also known to Drupal as ‘Card on File’. With the Data Vault product option you can store sensitive cardholder data in the encrypted database using First Data’s Data Centre. No card data will be stored in a merchant’s environment, a definite advantage for repeat customers and 1-click checkout.
Recurring Payments
Extended Hash Security Feature- this optional security feature allows you to include all parameters of the transaction request
Sale
Pre-Authorisation
Post-Authorisation
Capture - This module provides 'sale' and 'capture' functionality. In the instance that a merchant wishes to use ‘capture’ they will be presented with two ways of dealing with the transaction:
i)capture each transaction manually one by one
ii)usethe automated capture feature.
This is triggered on cron run, and an examplerule was created. Currently the rule is set to capture all pending transactions fromthe present moment and can be modified in the rule if the user requires. Alternatively ifa merchant wishes to firethat rule immediately, go to ‘Store’ then ’Orders’ at the topright hand corner of the current view. A tab will appear (First Data Connect Capture), the option is available to capture transactions immediately, by default it’s says 'Now'(this can be modified).
Void - This feature provides merchants the ability to void the transactions.
