Setting up an account with Verisign Payflow Pro.
Verisign is slightly more complicated than other payment
processing systems we offer, in that the credit card
transaction takes place on your own server, and hence
you require an SSL certificate on your site.
Enabling Payflow Pro will force the second phase of
checkout to take place on a secure (https) connection.
For instance, with Payflow Pro enabled, you will find
that after viewing the contents of the cart and clicking
checkout, the URL changes from
http://www.yourstore.com/cart.asp
to
https://www.yourstore.com/cart.asp
If you do not yet have a certificate installed this
will fail. To purchase an SSL certificate we can
recommend
www.thawte.com.
For testing purposes we have provided a way around
this. In the file vsadmin/includes.asp set the following
where you see the line
pathtossl = ""
. . . and fill in your usual URL.
pathtossl = "http://www.yourstore.com/folderifany/"
Please note, those who upgraded from older versions will
not see this line, and will need to enter these 2 lines
Dim pathtossl
pathtossl = "http://www.yourstore.com/folderifany/"
Now you just need to enter the information that
Verisign sent you when you opened your account by going
to your store admin and clicking on Edit Payment
Providers, and you should be all set.
Please note that it is possible to use shared SSL
space if your host provides for this, but you must be
able to access the same database as for the rest of your
store. To do this, you need to copy at least these files
to your shared SSL space . . .
cart.asp
vsadmin/db_conn_open.asp
vsadmin/includes.asp
vsadmin/inc/inccart.asp
. . . plus probably your images directory.
Then set the pathtossl as above to the directory that
contains these files. For instance
pathtossl = "https://www.yourhost.com/yourdirectory/"
