GetAggregate Method

Returns an aggregate containing level 3 details for a transaction.

Syntax

 char* GetAggregate();

Remarks

This method returns an aggregate containing the level 3 data specified. This aggregate must be passed to the ICharge class's Level3Aggregate property in order for the level 3 data to be sent in the transaction. Each gateway has different requirements when processing level 3 transactions. Please refer to Level3 to identify which properties are required for the gateway you are implementing.

An example of how this method is used is shown below:

  Level2.PONumber = "123456789"
  Level2.ShipToZip = "27713"
  Level2.TaxAmount = "1.23"
  Level2.IsTaxExempt = false
  ICharge.Level2Aggregate = Level2.GetAggregate()
  
  Level3.LineItemCount = 2
  Level3.LineItems[0].CommodityCode = "4900" // Books and printed materials
  Level3.LineItems[0].Description = "Reference manual"
  Level3.LineItems[0].DiscountAmount = "" // No discount
  Level3.LineItems[0].ProductCode = "ISBN123456"
  Level3.LineItems[0].Quantity = "2"
  Level3.LineItems[0].TaxAmount = "60"
  Level3.LineItems[0].TaxRate = "600" // 6.00 percent
  Level3.LineItems[0].Total = "1060"
  Level3.LineItems[0].UnitCost = "500"
  Level3.LineItems[0].Units = "each"

	Level3.LineItems.Add(new EPLineItem());
  Level3.LineItems[1].CommodityCode = "4900"
  Level3.LineItems[1].Description = "Quick Start manual"
  Level3.LineItems[1].DiscountAmount = ""
  Level3.LineItems[1].ProductCode = "ISBN654321"
  Level3.LineItems[1].Quantity = "1"
  Level3.LineItems[1].TaxAmount = "60"
  Level3.LineItems[1].TaxRate = "600" // 6.00 percent
  Level3.LineItems[1].Total = "1060"
  Level3.LineItems[1].UnitCost = "1000"
  Level3.LineItems[1].Units = "each"
