FAQ

↑ Back to top

Question 1: When I test the PsiGate gateway, the payments fails with ‘Payment status: 1007’, generated in the debug log. What should I do?

↑ Back to top
Answer 1: This error means that the ports on your websites server, used to communicate with PsiGate, are closed. Talk with your hosting provider and get the ports opened. The test port is 7989 and only you should know your production port.

Question 2: I am trying to make a payment, but it fails with error message: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure. What should I do?

↑ Back to top
Answer 2: This error means that there is a connection problem with your cURL and your SSL. Please try adding the following line of code to your theme\functions.php file.
if ( ! function_exists( 'your_site_curl_ssl_v3' ) ) {
add_action( 'http_api_curl', 'your_site_curl_ssl_v3' );
function your_site_curl_ssl_v3( $handle ) {
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 1);
}
}

Question 3: We sell both in Canadian and US dollars and we have Psigate accounts for each currency, can we use your plugin to the corresponding Psigate account based on the order currency?

↑ Back to top
Answer 3: Yes, you can charge multiple separate account using the plugin and the built in filters. Here is what you need to do:
  1. Install and setup the gateway as normal for one of the accounts. Lets say for the example that this is for US dollars.
  2. Add this snippet to your theme\functions.php file or anywhere where the code will be loaded.
/**
* The code goes into your "theme\functions.php" file or any php file that is loaded on page load.
*/
// AM API Process Payment
add_filter( 'wc_psigate_process_acc_manager_payment_parameters', 'psigate_modify_account_manager_api_credentials_on_currency', 10, 2 );
// AM API Register Customer Account
add_filter( 'wc_psigate_register_customer_account_parameters', 'psigate_modify_account_manager_api_credentials_on_currency', 10, 2 );
/**
* Modifies the Account Manager API credentials, based on currency code
*
* @param array $parameters
* @param WC_Order $order
*
* @return array
*/
function psigate_modify_account_manager_api_credentials_on_currency( $parameters, $order ) {
/**
* IMPORTANT: For the default currency the setting "Store ID" in the plugin settings is used.
* You can still overwrite it here by adding the default currency
*/
/**
* NOTE: Remove the currency you don't need or add StoreID for both.
*/
if ( 'USD' == \WcPsigate\Compatibility::get_order_currency( $order ) ) {
if ( isset( $parameters['Charge'] ) && isset( $parameters['Charge']['StoreID'] ) ) {
$parameters['Charge']['StoreID'] = 'USD StoreID for the currency';
}
}
if ( 'CAD' == \WcPsigate\Compatibility::get_order_currency( $order ) ) {
if ( isset( $parameters['Charge'] ) && isset( $parameters['Charge']['StoreID'] ) ) {
$parameters['Charge']['StoreID'] = 'CAD StoreID for the currency';
}
}
return $parameters;
}
// XML API Process Payment
add_filter( 'wc_psigate_process_credit_card_payment_parameters', 'psigate_modify_xml_api_credentials_on_currency', 10, 2 );
// XML API Process Refund
add_filter( 'wc_psigate_process_refund_parameters', 'psigate_modify_xml_api_credentials_on_currency', 10, 2 );
/**
* Modifies the XML API credentials, based on currency code
*
* @param array $parameters
* @param WC_Order $order
*
* @return array
*/
function psigate_modify_xml_api_credentials_on_currency( $parameters, $order ) {
// Enter here the currency code you want to have additional account for.
// Currency it is set to CAD or USD or any currency you want
if ( 'CAD' == \WcPsigate\Compatibility::get_order_currency( $order ) ) {
/**
* Important: Credentials for the XML API, based on the currency
*/
if ( isset( $parameters['StoreID'] ) ) {
$parameters['StoreID'] = 'StoreID for the currency';
}
if ( isset( $parameters['Passphrase'] ) ) {
$parameters['Passphrase'] = 'Passphrase for the currency';
}
}
return $parameters;
}
// AM Create account from Payment
add_filter( 'wc_psigate_create_am_account_from_payment_parameters', 'psigate_create_account_from_payment_on_currency', 10, 3 );
/**
* Modifies the AM API parameters for Create account from payment request
*
* @param array $parameters
* @param WC_Order $order
*
* @return array
*/
function psigate_create_account_from_payment_on_currency( $parameters, $order, $payment_response ) {
// Enter here the currency code you want to have additional account for.
// Currency it is set to CAD or USD or any currency you want
if ( 'USD' == \WcPsigate\Compatibility::get_order_currency( $order ) ) {
if ( isset( $parameters['Condition'] ) && isset( $parameters['Condition']['StoreID'] ) ) {
$parameters['Condition']['StoreID'] = 'USD StoreID for the currency';
}
}
if ( 'CAD' == \WcPsigate\Compatibility::get_order_currency( $order ) ) {
if ( isset( $parameters['Condition'] ) && isset( $parameters['Condition']['StoreID'] ) ) {
$parameters['Condition']['StoreID'] = 'CAD StoreID for the currency';
}
}
return $parameters;
}
In the snippet all you need to do is to fill in the currency  and the credentials of the Psigate account that will charge the currency. For example, line 49 through 59, you enter “CAD“(for Canadian Dollars) as currency and the StoreID and Passphrase of the account that will charge the payments. If you want to add even more currencies, just duplicate line 46 through 56 and add another currency.
