Magento and Barclaycard ePDQ payments

Adding UK payment gateways to Magento often involves Magento Connect extentions, with only PayPal and more US centric payment processors working more or less out of the box.

To enable Barclaycard payments I used the Barclaycard ePDQ CPI payment module, which needs a few tweaks to make in compatible with newer Magento versions (1.5.0+).

Unable to connect to Barclaycard ePDQ. Please try again.

Two code changes are needed to pass the total checkout amount from Magento to Barclaycard, in the file;
/app/code/community/Barclaycard/Epdq/Model/Cpi.php.

Not a valid allowed URL

Finally the url paths to Barclaycard that are entered into the ePDQ control panel need to match up. This isn’t as easy as it sounds as the url examples provided by the module are slightly wrong and the error logs are on Barclaycard’s side.

The module actually adds a ‘/’ to the urls, so the correct links are;

  • Allowed URL : {{base_url}}/epdq/cpi/redirect/
  • POST URL : {{base_url}}/epdq/cpi/postUrl/

I hope that saves you a bit of head scratching.

Jones and Cane ecommerce site in the bag!

With over 300 individually weighed, photographed and described packaging products, Jones and Cane’s new site was a while in the making. It features configurable products such as these 4 different sizes of rubber gloves shown as one item, but with each product individually tracked. Related products such as these wire ties that are linked to their wire tie components.

The homepage features a dynamic product widget, a four frame script.aculo.us slideshow – showing key categories and products and packaging by industry sections. The packaging by industry products page will hopefully enable less packaging savvy visitors to find the items they need.

Jones and Cane Packaging also has the usual great Magento ecommerce features such as product comparison, wishlists, newsletters and auto suggestive site search. The site also uses Google analytics, Google sitemap and Google Merchant Centre/ Google Base. Google Base is still very US focused and not really configurable for UK tax and shipping yet. So it redirects to the product page rather than acting as a standalone checkout product page.
