General Information


Overview  

The purpose of this document is to provide documentation for 3rd parties to integrate with EON Payments processing gateway.

Connectivity information  

The connection URL for the sandbox server is: https://securedev.eonpayments.com/gates/xurl.
Authorization is done via service users. To access the API, a service user is required to be granted with a corresponding privilege. A user can submit API requests using either associated credentials or temporary password generated via authentication operation.

When submitting an API request, you can use either EON Payments server URL or the Sanitizing Data Filter (Unibroker) server URL as an endpoint.
Requests that contain tokenized card numbers/bank account numbers can be submitted directly to {Unipay} server.
To reduce PCI exposure, requests with non-tokenized (raw) account data should be passed through the sanitizing data filter server. Otherwise, L04 error will be returned (Processing of raw account data is not allowed through the specified API end-point for the current user).
If you don’t have a specific reason, we recommend sending all the requests to the same endpoint (data filter).
To learn more about service users and end-points used for API submission, review Security Management guide.

Request method is POST. The content-type must be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Request fields are passed within HTTPS request body (including cases with callbacks) and are required to be URL-encoded.
Response fields are passed within HTTPS response body.
Both request and response field values are passed using name1=key1&name2=key2 format.

Supported Operations

General

Sale-Auth   
an operation used to withdraw specific amounts of money from the supplied credit card or bank account. Sale-Auth requires an explicit capture operation in order for the money to be transferred; otherwise, an automatic void is issued.

Void/Refund   
an operation used to reverse a sale operation. See integration notes for more information.

an operation used to verify balance on debit, prepaid and gift cards.
Convenience Fee   
an operation used to calculate a surcharge to the cardholder to cover the cost of the credit card processing.

Authentication   
an operation used to generate temporary password to be used in requests associated with HPP. See integration notes for more information.

Tokenization   
allows conversion of a credit card number or a bank account number into a PCI compliant token value.
Untokenization   
allows manual removal of a token from the system.
Retokenization   
allows updating of an existing token.

Note: This operation is available only for tokens created for real-time processing with TrustCommerce.

Settlement

Close Cycle   
allows a submitter to close currently open retail cycle (batch) for an account, send all captured transactions within the cycle for settlement, see totals within a retail cycle and reverse any void transactions.
