Exp:resso Store comes with many different payment gateways for you to choose from. If your payment provider isn’t supported already, it’s also easy to develop your own gateway.
In general, payment gateways fall into one of two categories: external (off-site) gateways and merchant-hosted (on-site) gateways. Merchant hosted gateways allow you to collect the customer’s credit card details directly on your site, but have much stricter requirements, such as an SSL certificate for your server. You will also be subject to much more rigorous security requirements under the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). For small sites, you will usually want to start with an off-site gateway.
Payment gateways must be enabled under Store » Settings » Payment Methods. You can then use them in your site, either by adding the payment_method=”” parameter to the Checkout Tag or Payment Tag, or by submitting a payment_method
form field.
Using the payment_method parameter:
{exp:store:checkout payment_method="paypal" return="store/order/ORDER_HASH"}
Using the payment_method form field:
<select name="payment_method">
<option value="stripe">Credit Card</option>
<option value="manual">Bank Transfer</option>
</select>
For on-site payment gateways, you will need to collect customer credit card details in your Checkout or Payment form. Below you will find a list of required parameters for each gateway. You can submit these parameters using regular HTML form inputs:
<input type="text" name="payment[card_no]" value="" />
Note that the name=""
parameter must be specified as payment[card_no]
rather than simply card_no
. For a full example, see the sample template under store_example/checkout3
.

payment_method="ideal"
iDEAL is an off-site payment gateway available in the Netherlands, based on online banking.
iDEAL requires that you present a choice of banks to the customer, before they are redirected to their bank’s internet banking page. To do this, Store has a special {ideal_issuer_options}
variable which you can insert into the final page of your template. You should add the following code to your template:
<select id="payment_issuer" name="payment[issuer]">
{ideal_issuer_options}
</select>
The list of issuers will be automatically loaded from the gateway, and cached in ExpressionEngine.
payment_method="manual"
The manual payment gateway serves a special purpose in Store. When you need to accept cheque or bank deposit payments, you should use the manual payment gateway. The gateway simply authorizes all payments, allowing the order to proceed. You may then manually mark the payment as “captured” in the Store control panel when payment is received.
payment_method="mollie"
Mollie is an off-site payment gateway available in the Netherlands, which supports iDEAL. No extra configuration is necessary.

payment_method="sagepay_server"

payment_method="stripe"
Stripe is an on-site payment gateway. However, it is much easier to set up than most on-site payment gateways, because it uses Javascript to convert credit card details into a secure token, before sending data to your server. This means that you don’t have to worry about the usual PCI DSS requirements for handling sensitive credit card details, since they are never sent to your server.
Because the card details are not submitted to your server, you should not give them name=""
parameters. Instead, you should create form inputs with id=""
parameters so that you can reference them from Javascript:
<input type="text" id="payment_card_no" value="" />
<input type="text" id="payment_name" value="" />
<select id="payment_exp_month">
<option value=""></option>
{exp_month_options}
</select>
<select id="payment_exp_year">
<option value=""></option>
{exp_year_options}
</select>
<input type="text" id="payment_card_csc" size="4" value="" />
You must also create a hidden form input to hold the Stripe card token:
<input type="hidden" id="payment_token" name="payment[token]" value="" />
Stripe requires some extra Javascript to be added to your Checkout or Payment form. For more information, please see the Stripe Documentation. A simple example is shown below:
$(function() {
$.getScript('https://js.stripe.com/v1/', function() {
Stripe.setPublishableKey('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY');
});
/* Ensure your checkout submit button has id="checkout_submit" */
$("#checkout_submit").click(function() {
/* Only handle requests for Stripe gateway */
var payment_method;
$.each($(this.form).serializeArray(), function(index, a) {
if (a.name == "payment_method") { payment_method = a.value; }
});
if (payment_method == "stripe") {
/* Temporarily disable the checkout submit button */
$("#checkout_submit").attr('disabled', true);
/* Create a Stripe card token */
Stripe.createToken({
name: $("#payment_name").val(),
number: $("#payment_card_no").val(),
cvc: $("#payment_card_csc").val(),
exp_month: $("#payment_exp_month").val(),
exp_year: $("#payment_exp_year").val()
}, stripeResponseHandler);
/* We don't want to submit the form yet */
return false;
}
});
/* This function is triggered once Stripe has generated the token */
function stripeResponseHandler(status, response) {
/* Re-enable the checkout submit button */
$("#checkout_submit").attr('disabled', false);
/* Check whether we have a valid credit card */
if (response.error) {
alert(response.error.message);
} else {
/* Set the card token and submit the checkout form */
$("#payment_token").val(response['id']);
$("#checkout_submit").unbind("click").click();
}
}
});
payment_method="webteh"
Webteh Direct is an on-site payment gateway, available in Croatia. The following fields must be submitted:
payment_method="worldpay"
WorldPay is an off-site payment gateway. There are several configuration changes you must make in your WorldPay Merchant Admin Interface before it will work correctly:
<wpdisplay item=MC_callback>
If you do not set a Payment Response password and MD5 secret, your WorldPay gateway will not be secure, and it will be possible to submit fake payments on your site.
