Payment simulation dialog box (for testing)

The "Payment simulation dialog box (for testing)" allows you to:

• thoroughly test the features the Payment Module provides (testing mode)
  
• implement your own script-based payment functions
  

 

General Information

Using the Testing Mode
With the help of the "Payment simulation dialog box (for testing)" you can test the crediting and debiting functionality of the Payment Module without having to employ a payment device. The browser will show you a dialog box by means of which you can credit or debit amounts from a user's account. By the way, the payment device surftime limiter does not require any additional hardware, either.

Scripting Device
The primary goal we tried to achieve with developing the ScriptDevice Object was to make it possible for our customers to manage their Payment Module accounts from a another PC or server. What this means is that the scripting device allows you to manage all of your users" target="_blank" accounts even though they are located on a different server (credit released on code entry).

Since there are numerous ways of implementing the device, PROVISIO decided to develop a core concept providing communication through the HTTP protocol when used in combination with the SK Network Object. To provide a better understanding of how to set up the scripting device, we developed a comprehensive

Enable retransfer (e.g. remaining money on logout)
This function will tell the account what to do if a retransfer of money becomes necessary. When you turn on this option, the script controlling the device will initiate the steps necessary for retransferring the remaining credit.
Volatile (credit balance may change spontaneously)
This option allows you to tell the device that the current balance may also change in a volatile way rather than only linearly. The options is intended for use with devices receiving their information from a server. Should, for example, the connection to the server be disrupted, the device will then be able to delete the current balace in order to prevent misuse.
