How to integrate MoneyBookers in Web application in PHP? [closed]

Question

I am creating a PHP website, and need to integrate MONEYBOOKERs as the payment gateway.

Need help in embedding the MoneyBookers gateway to my site. As I am using the test link (sandbox URL) which is:

https://www.moneybookers.com/app/test_payment.pl

The problem which I am facing is, MONEYBOOKERs is not showing any transtion while testing it.

Please Help!

Answer 1

I cover this topic in detail on a recent blog post of mine: How to automate Moneybookers (Skrill) using status_url (IPN). There is example code for PHP and C# and pictures illustrating the points:

1. Signup for a Moneybookers test account
2. Create a “secret word”
3. Create your own payment form (with your logo on the Moneybookers checkout page)
4. Verify the Moneybookers order

I won't cover every step here, because if I did my answer would take up several pages. However I will cover the 4th topic (verifying the Moneybookers order) because the answer currently on this page is riddled with problems (SQL injections, etc.). If you want in-detail instructions for every step then read my article.

Simple payment form on your website

I go into this in more detail in the article, but here's a simple payment form. Replace the bold values with your correct prices, app name, and Moneybookers email:

 <form action="https://www.moneybookers.com/app/payment.pl" method="post">   <input type="hidden" name="pay_to_email" value="[email protected]"/>   <input type="hidden" name="status_url" value="http://example.com/verify.php"/>    <input type="hidden" name="language" value="EN"/>   <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="Total amount (e.g. 39.60)"/>   <input type="hidden" name="currency" value="Currency code (e.g. USD)"/>   <input type="hidden" name="detail1_description" value="YourApp"/>   <input type="hidden" name="detail1_text" value="License"/>   <input type="submit" value="Pay!"/> </form> 

Verifying the Moneybookers order

After a user has paid for your software, eBook, or other digital content you'll want to automatically verify the order and send what they ordered to their email address. In this example I mention creating a product key using LimeLM, but you can really do anything.

In the example form above you set the location of script that will verify the Moneybookers orders:

 <input type="hidden" name="status_url" value="http://example.com/verify.php"/>  

The relevant part of the script is this:

 // Validate the Moneybookers signature $concatFields = $_POST['merchant_id']     .$_POST['transaction_id']     .strtoupper(md5('Paste your secret word here'))     .$_POST['mb_amount']     .$_POST['mb_currency']     .$_POST['status'];  $MBEmail = '[email protected]';  // Ensure the signature is valid, the status code == 2, // and that the money is going to you if (strtoupper(md5($concatFields)) == $_POST['md5sig']     && $_POST['status'] == 2     && $_POST['pay_to_email'] == $MBEmail) {     // Valid transaction.      //TODO: generate the product keys and     //      send them to your customer. } else {     // Invalid transaction. Bail out     exit; } 

If you don't know how to set your secret word in Moneybookers, I explain how to do this in the " How to automate Moneybookers (Skrill) using status_url (IPN)" article.

Full payment example

If you're not keen on writing this code yourself then we have a fully built payment form for our LimeLM customers. It's written for PHP, C#, and VB.NET and it's free for all our customers (even our free-users). So you can download it, integrate it into your site, and use it without paying us a cent.

Here's what the payment selection page looks like:
