Integrating with VostroPay on your website

Integrating with VostroPay on your website

Purpose

This article will outline what is needed to replace your existing Vault integration with a VostroPay (Till Payments) integration. You will have the choice of either taking a payment at the time of booking or saving card details to be charged in the future (like your existing Vault implementation).

Website Changes

We recommend reviewing Till Payment's Gateway Documentation as a starting point. This will familiarise you with the high level concepts of the Till Payments API and prepare you for the technical integration. For API specifics, please see Till's API Reference V3 documentation.

Till Payments Integration Options

We recommend using Till’s Javascript Integration which will let you embed a card entry form in your website and give you the most control over payments/collecting card details. You also have the options of Full-Page Redirect and Hosted Payment Form integrations which may be simpler to implement but won't provide as seamless of a customer experience as the Javascript integration.
  1. Javascript integration - The most seamless experience for customers and the most flexible integration method in terms of styling/design.
  2. Hosted Payment Form - The card form is embedded in an iframe and hosted by Till, keeps users in your checkout but less flexible styling options. 
  3. Full-Page Redirect - Redirects the customer from your checkout to a Till hosted page to collect card details. The user is then redirected back to your site after the transaction is complete.
You can read more about each of these integration methods here: https://gateway.tillpayments.com/documentation/gateway#transaction-process.

Saving Cards for Future Charges

If you need to save the card details to be charged in the future, please ensure you have set the “withRegister” parameter when creating your Debit request or you are using the Register transaction type if you do not need to take payment at the time of booking. To save a customer’s card details without charging them at the time of booking see the Register transaction type: https://gateway.tillpayments.com/documentation/apiv3?php#transaction-request-register.

3D Secure

We recommend enabling 3D Secure on transactions to help protect you (the merchant) from chargebacks/disputes with customers. 3D Secure is configured at the transaction level with Till, you can read more about 3D Secure here: https://gateway.tillpayments.com/documentation/gateway#3d-secure-authentication.

RCM API Calls

You will need to pass the results from Till to RCM to record any payments and add any collected card details for use in RCM.
