ECheck Bean
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The ECheck component is used to process Electronic Check (ACH) transactions through Internet Payment services such as the Authorize.Net eCheck.Net service.
Syntax
InPay.Echeck
Remarks
The ECheck component allows you to use multiple Internet Payment Gateways through one interface and one component. This allows for easy migration from one gateway to another, as well as quick integration into applications or web services.
The ECheck component allows your website to securely process electronic checks without the need to redirect to a third-party site. All transactions are accomplished through a secure HTTPS Post to any supported gateway. The secure response is received and then stored in the component's response properties. Any web site on a standard HTTP server or any stand-alone application can process transactions without the need for a secure server or third-party intervention.
The first thing you must do is select one of the gateways supported by the ECheck component, and set up an account with that gateway vendor. Once you have an account set up with a valid (or test) login Id and password, you can use the ECheck component.
To begin, set the Gateway property to the gateway you wish to use. If this gateway supports an alternate URL to send test transactions to, set the GatewayURL at this time.
Next, set the MerchantLogin (and for some gateways the MerchantPassword). These are supplied by your gateway vendor when you set up an account.
Now you are ready to process transactions. Not all gateways process ACH or eCheck transactions the same way. While all gateways require a bank routing and account number, some require additional information such as a driver's license number, bank name, or the account type (checking or savings). The gateways and their required properties are listed in the Gateway property.
Once all your properties are set, simply call the Authorize method. If your gateway supports it, you may also credit bank accounts with the Credit method.
