Working with Plug-ins

Plastic is a plug-in for FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server that processes secure payments within FileMaker.

Requirements

FileMaker 7 or higher, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 6 or higher, Windows or Mac OS X 10.6. Rosetta on Intel Macs not supported.

Installation

If you unzip the zip archive containing the plug-in files and open the top-level directory, you will find two subdirectories labeled WIN (for Windows) and MAC (for Macintosh). The WIN directory contains two plug-in files, one with a .fmx extension and another with a .fmx64 extension. The file with the .fmx64 extension is only used for FileMaker Server installations, which are explained below. The MAC directory contains a plug-in file with a .fmplugin extension.

To install the plug-in, copy the plug-in from the WIN or MAC folder to one of the directories listed below. Directory paths are listed relative to the parent directory of the installation home directory of the FileMaker application.

FileMaker Pro

FileMaker Pro <XX>/Extensions

FileMaker Pro <XX> Advanced/Extensions

FileMaker Server Web Publishing Engine (applies to the entire Web Publishing Engine prior to FileMaker Server 12.0.2 and to Instant Web Publishing only for FileMaker Server 12.0.2 and later)

FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/wpc/Plugins (create the Plugins folder if it does not exist)

FileMaker Server Custom Web Publishing (applies only to FileMaker Server 12.0.2 and later)

FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins (create the Plugins folder if it does not exist)

Note:

For 64-bit versions of Windows, be sure to use the 360Works plug-in with a .fmx64 extension

FileMaker Server Scripting Engine (applies to FileMaker Server scheduled scripts)

FileMaker Server/Database Server/Extensions
Note:

Using the plug-in with the FileMaker Server Web Publishing Engine or the FileMaker Server Scripting Engine requires an Enterprise plug-in license.

Uninstalling the plug-in

Uninstall the plug-in by quitting FileMaker Pro or stopping FileMaker Server and removing the plug-in file from the appropriate Extensions or Plugins directory.

Demo mode and registering the plug-in

Plug-ins will run in a fully featured demo mode until they are registered. While running in demo mode, the plug-in will run for 2 hours at a time. In order to get another two hours of demo time, you must restart FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server's database server module or FileMaker Server's Web Publishing Engine, depending upon where the plug-in is installed.

To register the plug-in in FileMaker Pro, you may either enter the license information in FileMaker plug-in preferences or by calling CCRegister inside a script. You must call CCRegister inside a script in order to register the plug-in for use with FileMaker Server.

Set Variable [ $register; Value: CCRegister ( $licenseKey; $registeredToName) ]

Returns: a 1 on success or a 0 on failure.

Error Handling/Reporting

When something unexpected happens, the plug-in will pop up a dialog showing what the error message is. This makes it easy to see what went wrong. However, in some cases, you (the developer) may prefer to show your own message to the user, or possibly not show a message at all. In that case, you can call CCSetErrorCapture ( true ). This will suppress the displaying of error dialogs.

Whether or not you suppress the error dialogs, a plugin function will return the word ERROR if something goes wrong. It's a good idea to check the result of each plugin function call to determine if an error occurred. If an error occurs, use the CCLastError function to get a detailed message describing the error. For example:

Set Variable [ $result; Value: MyPluginFunction("x" ; "y" ; "z") ]
If [ $result = "ERROR" ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "An error occurred: " & CCLastError ]
End If

If a plug-in is not installed correctly, all plug-in function calls will return "?".

To check if a transaction succeeded

The simplest way to check to see if money has changed hands in a payment processing function call is to check the result of the function itself. This is extremely useful when calling functions such as CCProcessPayment and CCProfileProcessPayment. The result of the transaction will give a transaction ID or the word ERROR. Using the CCLastError like in the example above will give further information about the error, such as if there is no network connectivity, or the card was declined.

Set Variable [ $result; Value: CCProcessPayment(...) ]
If [ $result = "ERROR" ]
# Transaction is unsuccessful. Below is an example of how you might handle the error.
Set Field [ Transaction::Error Message ; CCLastError ]
Else
# Transaction is successful.
Set Field [ Transaction::Transaction ID ; $result ]
End If

More Information

For more information on how to correctly install and work with plug-ins, check out the Plugins 101 documentation.

USA ePay

USA ePay can process a wide variety of transactions, including eCheck / ACH payments, profile-based payments, and subscriptions. For detailed examples of each of these transactions, check the demo file included as a download with Plastic. These scripts are ready for insertion into your own solution!

Getting an account

You'll need an account using the USA ePay Gateway, and use your source key and the PIN as the first two parameters for every plug-in function call that performs a transaction. You can log into your account on the USA ePay site and generate the PIN there.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessPayment (
$sourceKey;
$PIN; ...) ]

Setting the Gateway

Before processing any payments, you need to tell Plastic which gateway you are using. This is done by calling CCSetGateway.

Set Variable [ $gateway; Value: CCSetGateway("usaepay") ]

Returns: 1 if a valid gateway is provided, ERROR on failure.

If running card-present charges, you should also set cardPresent to true when setting the gateway.

Set Variable [ $gateway; Value: CCSetGateway("usaepay"; "cardPresent=true") ]

Test Mode

To run test transactions, call CCSetTestMode( 1 ) - If set to 1, tells Plastic to perform all subsequent transactions as test transactions. If CCSetTestMode( 0 ) is called, Plastic will perform all subsequent transactions as live transactions. If this function is never called, the default behavior of Plastic is to treat all transactions as live transactions.

Emulators And Alternate URLs

If you would like to use Plastic to perform transactions against an alternate URL, call the CCSetGateway function with the additional parameter url, whose value would correspond to the alternate url. A gateway emulator is a common use case for an alternate URL. Gateway emulators fashion an application programming interface that resembles that of a competing gateway to ease the integration process for merchants who switch to their gateway.

Example of communicating with a gateway that provides an Authorize.Net emulator at the URL http://AlternateURLGoesHere.com

Set Variable [ $result; Value: CCSetGateway ("usaepay" ; "url=http://AlternateURLGoesHere.com/") ]

The call to CCSetGateway acts as a flag, so all subsequent transactions will point to the alternate URL until otherwise specified or FileMaker is restarted.

Processing Payments

Basic Credit Card Charge

This simple example will run a single charge and requires you to input a card number and expiration date. To prevent this information from being saved in your database and to simplify PCI compliance, jump to the Payment Profiles section.

Once you properly configure your merchant account, you can quickly and easily process payment transactions.

You must provide the following information for a credit card payment transaction:

  • sourceKey
  • PIN
  • dollar amount
  • credit card number
  • credit card expiration date (Format the expiration date as MMYY or MM/YY or MM/DD/YY)

The CCProcessPayment function will process a transaction and return a transaction ID. This function returns a transaction ID if the transaction is successful or the word ERROR if the transaction fails. For detailed information about the most recent transaction failure, call the CCLastError function before calling any other transaction-processing function.

In your script, you would then have a second line after setting the gateway.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessPayment(
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$chargeAmount;
$cardNumber;
$expDate) ]

Returns: a verification code from the payment gateway service if the order is successful, or ERROR if there was a problem

Note:

It is important to store the resulting transaction ID because you may need it later to void the transaction, issue a refund or capture a previously authorized transaction.

You may submit optional parameters to most of Plastic's payment-transaction processing functions. These parameters will be submitted to the payment gateway along with the basic transaction information. Although they are not usually required to process an order, these parameters can be useful for tasks such as address verification or linking a transaction to a customer id or an invoice number. To supply additional parameters to a function call, add them to the end of the parameter list after the last required parameter, using a "key=value" syntax.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessPayment(
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$chargeAmount;
$cardNumber;
$expDate;
"chargeDescription=" & Payment::description;
"verificationCode=" & $securityCode) ]
Expand for Optional Parameters

Processing ACH payments

Plastic now supports payments via direct bank transfers and eChecks, via ACH payments. To take a payment via eCheck, use the CCProcessPaymentACH function after calling the gateway.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessPaymentACH (
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$dollarAmount;
$accountNumber;
$routingNumber;
"";
$accountType;
$accountHolderFirstName;
$accountHolderLastName;
$checkNumber;
"achType=ARC";
"driversLicenseNumber=2345431";
"driversLicenseState=GA") ]

You must pass in the ACH Type and driver's license information. Do so by adding the extra parameters as key=value pairs. The blank placeholder is marked with ""; - normally you would use this parameter for a bank name, but that is not supported in USA ePay transactions.

If taking an Account Receivable Transaction (ARC) or Back Office Conversion (BOC) payment, you must also pass in a check number. If not, simply type ""; where that checkNumber field would be.

Optional Parameters:

Authorizing and Capturing Payments

A sale transaction for credit card contains two parts: an authorization which verifies and places a hold for the amount, and a capture, which actually transfers the funds.

To run an authorization, pass in an additional parameter "authMode=AUTH_ONLY".

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessPayment(
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$chargeAmount;
$cardNumber;
$expDate;
"authMode=AUTH_ONLY") ]

Returns: a verification code from USA ePay if the order is successful, or ERROR if there was a problem

After running an authorization, run the appropriate CCProcessAuthorizedPayment. Pass in the previousTransactionId from the transaction ID you received from the process with authMode.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessAuthorizedPayment(
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$previousTransactionId;
$dollarAmount) ]

Using Card Readers

Certain types of merchant accounts are set up for reading physical card swipes, instead of taking orders via the web or over the phone. If your account is a card-present account, like a retail store, then you will need to also send the data included on the magnetic stripe of a card.

Important!

You should pass in swipe data if you have it, as your transaction may be downgraded to a more expensive rate if you simply type a card number.

First, set the gateway with card-present parameter

To process a card-present transaction, first call CCSetGateway with the parameter cardPresent=true. If CCSetGateway returns a 1, then you can perform a card-present transaction.

Second, determine your Track 1 and 2 formats

To process a payment using card-present accounts, you'll need the information in the magnetic stripe of the credit card. In Plastic, this information may be obtained from a keyboard-emulating card reader, which essentially dumps text into a text field when the card is swiped as if the text had been entered via a keyboard.

While some card readers will contain software that parses that raw data from the magnetic stripe before dumping it to a field, this documentation refers to those keyboard-emulating readers that dump raw data. Raw swipe data contains two delimited pieces of information: Track 1 and Track 2.

Raw data would look something like this:

%B1234123412341234^LAST/FIRSTM^1112101000000000011100111000000?;1234123412341234=11121010000000000111?

Track 1 is delimited by a percent symbol and a question mark, so in the previous example Track 1 would be:

%B1234123412341234^LAST/FIRST/^1112101000000000011100111000000?

Track 2 is delimited by a semicolon and question mark, so in the previous example Track 2 would be:

;1234123412341234=11121010000000000111?
Note:

As a convenience, the Plastic function CCTrackData will parse either Track 1 or Track 2 data as a return-separated string containing account code, cardholder name, expiration date (YYMM), and optional discretionary data.

Process the payment with CCProcessPayment

Finally, call CCProcessPayment and pass in raw swipe or track data. When processing a card-present transaction, a gateway will typically require you to pass in either the full raw swipe, Track 1 or Track 2. In most cases, you do not need to pass in card numbers and expiration dates.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCProcessPayment(
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$chargeAmount;
"";
"";
"track1=%B1234123412341234^LAST/FIRST/^1112101000000000011100111000000?") ]

Pass in either track1 or track2.

Partial Transactions

When using CCProcessPayment, specifying the additional parameter "authMode=AUTH_ONLY" will perform an authorization as opposed to a sale transaction. Specifying the "isPartialAuthorization=true" parameter will tell the gateway to allow for partial authorizations of pre-paid credit cards, gift cards and debit cards.

After specifying a partial authorization, you can request the remaining balance and the requested amount by using CCPartialGetRemainingBalance and CCPartialGetRequestedAmount. Both return the dollar amounts, and do not require any additional parameters.

Voiding Transactions

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCVoidPayment (
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$previousTransactionID) ]

Voids a previously processed payment. The parameters are similar to the CCProcessPayment function, except dollarAmount is replaced with the addition of the previousTransactionID parameter. The previousTransactionID should be the transactionID of the transaction you wish to void. This value is returned by the CCProcessPayment function. Alternately, you can use the CCLastPaymentTransactionID function to get the transactionID of the last processed payment.

Parameters:

  • sourceKey
    • Your payment gateway merchant account name. In the case of USA ePay, this is sourceKey.
  • PIN
    • Your merchant account password OR transaction key. In the case of USA ePay, this is PIN.
  • previousTransactionID
    • The transactionId of a previously processed transaction.

Note that CCVoidPayment will only work on orders that have not settled yet, which means that it will generally only work on payments made that same day. To void settled orders, use CCRefund instead.

Returns: the transactionID from the payment gateway service if the order is successful, or ERROR if there was a problem.

See also: CCLastPaymentTransactionID: the transactionID from the payment gateway service if the order is successful, or ERROR if there was a problem (use CCLastError for more detailed information about the nature of the error).

Crediting or Refunding Transactions

To credit a transaction, you need the transaction ID returned by CCProcessPayment. Pass this (along with other payment info) to the CCRefund function. This is similar to the void process, except it accepts a dollar amount and the credit card number (or the last four digits of the credit card number) used to process the original transaction.

Set Variable [ $result; Value:
CCRefund(
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$transactionID;
$cardNumber;
$dollarAmount) ]

Returns: the transactionID from USA ePay if the order is successful, or ERROR if there was a problem

If you do not pass a dollar amount, it will refund the whole amount of the transaction.

You can also use CCRefund to do an unlinked credit, which will run a refund of the amount without requiring a transaction ID. Pass in blank values ""; for the previous transaction ID to perform this type of transaction. It will be a little different based on whether the refund is from an ACH or credit card:

  • Credit Card Unlinked Refund
    • Set Variable [ $result; Value:
      CCRefund(
      $sourceKey;
      $PIN;
      "";
      $cardNumber;
      $chargeAmount;
      "expirationDate=12/13") ]
  • ACH Unlinked Refund
    • Set Variable [ $result; Value:
      CCRefund(
      $sourceKey;
      $PIN;
      "";
      $accountNumber;
      $chargeAmount;
      "routingNumber=" & Payment::routingNumber;
      "achType=" & Payment::achType;
      "driversLicenseNumber=" & Payment::driversLicenseNumber;
      "driversLicenseState=" & Payment::driversLicenseState;
      "checkNumber=" & Payment::checkNumber) ]

Subscription Services

With subscriptions, payments can automatically be debited to a credit card or a bank account on a time period you specify. If your gateway supports it, there may be up to five functions used to manage subscriptions: CCCreateSubscription, CCCreateSubscriptionACH, CCModifySubscription, CCModifySubscriptionACH, and CCDeleteSubscription.

USA ePay supports all five subscription functions. Creating and modifying subscriptions all accept the same optional parameters, available in the table below.

Valid pay periods include daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, biannually, and annually. The number of installments specify how many transactions to run. A six-month subscription would specify a payPeriod of monthly, and 6 installments.

To create a credit card subscription, use CCCreateSubscription. To create a bank account subscription, use CCCreateSubscriptionACH. Italicized items are optional.

Returns: 1 on success, or ERROR if there was a problem.

There are no optional parameters with deleting a subscription.

Payment Profiles

Customer Profiles

Plastic features customer profiles, which allow you to submit customer and payment information to be reused for future transactions. This greatly simplifies PCI compliance, and keeps sensitive information out of your database. To get started, first you'll need to create a customer in the system. This will return an ID that you can then store. After that, attach a payment method to this newly created customer. This will return a payment ID, which together with the customer profile ID, you can run charges against.

To create a customer in the system, set the following:

Set Variable [ $customerID; Value:
CCProfileCreateCustomer (
$sourceKey;
$PIN;
$customerId) ]

Returns: the customer profile ID used to reference the newly created profile if successful, or ERROR if there was a problem

Note: If you provide an empty string to customerId, the gateway will generate and return one.

After creating a customer, it can also be updated, deleted, or retrieved. Retrieving a customer will return the information the gateway has saved about the customer.

CCProfileUpdateCustomerCCProfileDeleteCustomerCCProfileGetCustomer
sourceKeysourceKeysourceKey
PINPINPIN
customerIdcustomerProfileIdcustomerProfileId
customerProfileId

Returns: 1 if successful, or ERROR if there was a problem

When retrieving information about a profile with CCProfileGetCustomer, CCProfileGetShipping, or CCProfileGetPayment, the response will return a list of values marked with a dollar sign, like so:

$billingFirstName="First";$billingLastName="Name";$billingCompany="";

To parse out these values, you can use a combination of the Evaluate and Let functions. After seeing a response from USA ePay, note the value you want to parse, such as $billingLastName in the example above. Then you can use the formula:

Evaluate ( "Let( [" & Transaction::Response Message& "] ; $billingLastName)")

This will return the last name of the profile requested.

You don't necessarily need to pass in a customer ID for creating or updating a customer profile.

Optional Parameters:

Creating Payment Profiles

Payment profiles allow you to save payment information straight to the gateway for future use. To create a payment profile, call either CCProfileCreatePayment or CCProfileCreatePaymentACH, depending on whether the payment profile is a credit card or ACH. Credit cards are created with CCProfileCreatePayment and updated with CCProfileUpdatePayment. Italicized items are optional, and can accept "" if not needed.

CCProfileCreatePaymentCCProfileUpdatePayment

Getting Information

Plastic includes a number of helper functions that allow users to retrieve data from the gateway or Plastic.

To execute any of these functions inside a script, use a Set Field or Set Variable script step.

  • CCGetCardIssuer
    • Format: CCGetCardIssuer( $cardNumber )
    • Description: Returns the card issuer for a given card number, either: VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, DINERS, DISCOVER, JCB. Returns an error if the card number is from another issuer.
  • CCGetLast
    • Format: CCGetLast ( $name )
    • Description: Returns a value from the most recent transaction response that corresponds with the name parameter.
  • CCLastAVS
    • Description: Returns the gateway's Address Verification System Response for the last payment which was processed. This response is typically a one letter indicator, meaning the following:
