Upgrade SOAP to RESTful API

(Back to Woocommerce)

Introduction

All Riverty connections in Woocommerce for Dutch and Belgian clients need to upgrade from Riverty’s old SOAP API to the new RESTful Checkout API before August 1, 2024. Failure to update the RESTful connection will result in the rejection of all incoming orders starting on August 1, 2024.

6 Steps to Upgrade from SOAP to RESTful API

Step 1: Confirm Plugin Version

Group 20074 (1) (1).png

  1. Log into the Wordpress admin environment
  2. Choose Plugins in the left menu
  3. Search for Riverty Payment Gateway (or AfterPay Payment Gateway)
  4. The version number of the plugin should be at least: 7.1.0. If you have an older (lower) version of the Riverty plugin, update to the latest version first. If you don’t have this version, please access the marketplace to download the file directly from there

Step 2: Retrieve your Shop’s API Key

The SOAP connection works via a username (Merchant ID and Portfolio ID) and a password. The REST connection replaces that with an API Key. Your API Key can be found on our Merchant Portal.

  1. Open the left menu
  2. Choose Developer Info in the left menu
  3. Show your API Key (This is only visible to Merchant Portal users with rights 'Administrator')

Step 3: Select RESTful Payment Methods

Important Note, “Step 3: Store API Key” & “Step 4: Configure RESTful Payment Methods” must be completed for each selected country-payment method combination with a different API Key! (you will get a different API Key per Country, per payment method and per Webshop) For example, if you offer 14-day Invoice in the Netherlands and Belgium, you need to repeat these steps twice with two different API Keys.

  2. Select Production in Environment
    • Note, if you are testing with your Test API Key, select Test instead
  3. Click Test API Key and a green checkmark should appear
    • If the API key test fails, double check the key for typos and confirm it is for the selected environment
  4. Click Save Changes
    • Note, if you are testing first, you will need to repeat this step with your Production API Key when you are done with testing.
  5. If successfully saved, the Finish set up button should change to Manage
