PHP

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open-source scripting language for web development, executing on the server-side to create dynamic web pages and web applications.

Website: https://www.php.net/

Type: SDK

Introduction

This guide describes how to connect to our API, using our Riverty.com PHP SDK. It only covers the creation and submission of an order. Information and examples of other operations, like capture, cancel and refund, can be found in the package.

PHP currently offers these payment methods:

  • 14-day invoice - This is the default 14-day invoice payment method in Riverty. It is primarily meant for business-to-consumer sales.
  • Direct Debit - This is a Direct Debit version of the 14-day invoice payment method Instead of receiving an invoice to be paid via their bank, the customer enters their bank details, and the money is immediately deducted from their bank account.
  • Campaign invoice
  • Fixed instalments
  • Flex payment
  • B2B invoice - This is the B2B consumer version of the default 14-day invoice payment method in Riverty.

The available payment methods per country for PHP can be found in this table:

Include library using Composer

  1. Include the Riverty PHP Library by using Composer. If you are not familiar with using Composer, read this article with the basics about PHP Composer: http://culttt.com/2013/01/07/what-is-php-composer/. The AfterPay PHP Library can be found on packagist.org as “Payintegrator/Afterpay” (Details and releasenotes: link). The library can be included by the following command:
composer require payintegrator/afterpay
  1. Next make sure you are using the Autoloader:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
  1. Create an empty object, for example using:
$riverty = new AfterpayAfterpay();
$riverty->setRest();

This object will be used to store the information of your order and to send an order to the Riverty API.

Creating order lines

With the function $riverty->create_order_line you can send the specification of the order lines.

You can use this for any type of orderline, i.e.:

products
shipping fee
service fee
discount

Note: prices are to be submitted in cents, including TAX.

Below is an example of an orderline for a product.

$sku = 'PRODUCT-001';
$name = 'Product name 1';
$qty = 3;
$grossUnitPrice = 2000; // in cents, including TAX (for discounts, use a negative number)
$vatAmount = 347; //in cents
$productUrl = "https://www.riverty.com/products/brown_wool_hat.jpg";
$imageUrl = "https://www.riverty.com/images/brown_wool_hat.jpg";
$riverty->create_order_line( $sku, $name, $qty, $grossUnitPrice, null, $vatAmount, null, null, $productUrl, $imageUrl );

Set-up address and other information

In this step you set up the general order information and configure the Riverty object with this information. This contains the billing and shipping information and other relevant information like the ordernumber, the currency and the remote ip address of the customer.

Below is an example of a B2C order.

// Set up the bill to address
$order['billtoaddress']['city'] = 'Heerenveen';
$order['billtoaddress']['housenumber'] = '90';
$order['billtoaddress']['housenumberaddition'] = '5';
$order['billtoaddress']['isocountrycode'] = 'NL';
$order['billtoaddress']['postalcode'] = '8441ER';
$order['billtoaddress']['referenceperson']['dob'] = '1980-12-12T00:00:00';
$order['billtoaddress']['referenceperson']['email'] = 'tester@riverty.com;
$order['billtoaddress']['referenceperson']['initials'] = 'A';
$order['billtoaddress']['referenceperson']['isolanguage'] = 'NL';
$order['billtoaddress']['referenceperson']['lastname'] = 'de Tester';
$order['billtoaddress']['referenceperson']['phonenumber'] = '0513744112';
$order['billtoaddress']['streetname'] = 'KR Poststraat';

// Set up the ship to address
$order['shiptoaddress']['city'] = 'Heerenveen';
$order['shiptoaddress']['housenumber'] = '90';
$order['shiptoaddress']['housenumberaddition'] = '5';
$order['shiptoaddress']['isocountrycode'] = 'NL';
$order['shiptoaddress']['postalcode'] = '8441ER';
$order['shiptoaddress']['referenceperson']['dob'] = '1980-12-12T00:00:00';
$order['shiptoaddress']['referenceperson']['email'] = 'tester@riverty.com';
$order['shiptoaddress']['referenceperson']['initials'] = 'A';
$order['shiptoaddress']['referenceperson']['isolanguage'] = 'NL';
$order['shiptoaddress']['referenceperson']['lastname'] = 'de Tester';
$order['shiptoaddress']['referenceperson']['phonenumber'] = '0513744112';
$order['shiptoaddress']['streetname'] = 'KR Poststraat';

// Set up the additional information
$order['ordernumber'] = 'ORDER123';
$order['currency'] = 'EUR';
$order['ipaddress'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

// Create the order object for B2C or B2B
$riverty->set_order( $aporder, 'B2C' );

Processing the return object

The result of the order will be set in the object $riverty->order_result. You can process the order, using the information in the object. Below is an overview of possible resultIDs in the object.

Example return objects

ResultId 0 – Accepted payment

PHP2.png

ResultId 1 – Technical error

PHP3.png

ResultId 2 – Validation error

PHP4.png

ResultId 3 – Rejected payment

PHP5.png

Processing messages and descriptions

Each returnobject contains an array with 1 or more

messages: these are for logging and debugging
descriptions: these are to be displayed in the webshop

foreach ($riverty->order_result->return->messages as $message)
{
    echo $message['message'];
}

Echo’s all the messages in the array.

foreach ($riverty->order_result->return->messages as $message)
{
    echo $message['description'];
}

Echo’s all the descriptions in the array.

Submit testorders

ResultId 0 – accepted payment
To check the submission of successful orders, place an testorder for each payment method with:

  • multiple products
  • discount (if possible)
  • shipping fee (if possible)
  • service fee (if allowed)
  • alternate delivery address

Below you will find the testdata that can be used.

PHP6.png

ResultId 1 – technical error
To verify and process a technical error, place a regular order, but trigger a technical error, for example using:

  • 0 as API key

ResultId 2 – validation error
To verify and process a validation error, place a regular order, but use invalid data, for example:

  • telephone number consisting of 9 digits, i.e.: 051322334
  • postal code using only letters, i.e.: ABCD
  • name with number in it, i.e.: John Doe 123

ResultId 3 – rejected payment
To verify and process a rejected payment, place a regular order, but use the first name 'Reject' while communicating towards the sandbox environment.

Visual Guidelines

In this chapter we will explain the Riverty visual guidelines you need to apply to your webshop.

Logos and banners

For convenience and a familiar customer experience, please integrate/enclose the Riverty badge in your Checkout next to the payment method. Please refer to our UX guidelines on the checkout best practises:

When Implementing the Riverty badge throughout the shopping experience please ensure you are using our URL, not by downloading the image. The Riverty badges are hosted on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure the best performance and availability for your website. Furthermore, you do not have to care about changes, which are all done by Riverty.

We provide two types of badges through our CDN - .svg and .png. We recommend using the Riverty badge as a .svg file with regard to the quality and size of the file. If you prefer .png just change the end of the URL to .png.

Terms and Conditions

Riverty mandates that consumers be presented with Riverty's terms and conditions and Privacy Policy upon checkout. Thus the option to display the T&C should always be enabled in the plugin configuration. In certain cases where you would like to incorporate the Riverty T&C and Privacy Policy within your own Terms and Conditions, this must be done only with approval from Riverty's legal counsel. After approval include the country specific T&C and Privacy Policy resources.

Go-Live

In this chapter we will explain which steps you need to take to enable the payment method on production. For the final go-live a contract between you and Riverty is required.

Last Check (Only applicable for the BeNeLux)

Now that Riverty is live, we only have to check whether orders are also coming in properly.
You can test this per Riverty connection by placing a rejected order:

STEP 1:
Go to the webshop, and place a product in the shopping cart.

STEP 2:
Go to checkout and fill in the necessary information, for the email address you have to enter rejection@riverty.com.

STEP 3: Choose the payment method Riverty and finish the order.

RESULT:
The Riverty order should be rejected. If this is not the case and instead you receive a technical error or an authorization error please contact your Riverty Implementation Manager.

Riverty Merchant Portal

Be sure to sign up for a free Riverty Merchant Portal Account!

Initial sign-up will provide a test Merchant Portal account for you to explore, manage test transactions, and access test API keys. A full guide can be found in the portal's collapsed left menu. The live portal is provided once KYC and contract signing are complete.

Done

Congratulations! You just went live with your Riverty connection. Please notify your Riverty Implementation Manager that you went live. If you encounter any issues in the upcoming week you can contact your Riverty Implementation Manager. After that period you can contact our local Merchant Desk for help.
