I have a customer who wants me to integrate WorldPay in to their new Web site. Stupidly I agreed to do so, having never worked with WorldPay.

I have my clients WorldPay details. Apparently it is still in test mode and I need to get down and dirty with it to take it in to live mode. I'll figure that bit out, I'm sure.

What I don't know is how WorldPay actually works. Is it possible to just create a package in WorldPay, copy/paste some code, and drop the code in my clients site like you can with PayPal? The site I'm trying to integrate WorldPay in to is a static site. It's not using any form of shopping cart. I just want to insert a "Buy Now" button of some sort that then links to the appropriate WorldPay payment page for that package.

Is this possible?

What are my options? Does WorldPay need to be integrated in to some form of shopping cart, or can I drag/drop some simple code like PayPal?

I've searched through the WorldPay Web site but all I seem to find is marketing poop that smells awful. Please help. :)

Thanks in advance!

WorldPay is a little different from PayPal system. You do not need to create any packages in WorldPay, you will have to handle everything in your shopping cart and push the product information and pricing to WorldPay to bill your customer.

If you are using FuturePay (recurring system), you will then need to push the product information or invoice ID, one time charge (including setup fee or any 1 time fee) and future recurring charges to WorldPay.

Accordingly to their site design template in WorldPay, I don't think you can integrate into your website design.

I just want to insert a "Buy Now" button of some sort that then links to the appropriate WorldPay payment page for that package.

Is this possible?

Yes, your URL will contains all the package information and pricing :)

Thanks tanfwc. So it seems like I do need to use some sort of shopping cart system. :(

That's not good news. I was under the impression I could just insert a purchase button or something similar.

Out of interest, is it possible just to create a static link to a page with a URL that contains all the WorldPay info such as product, price etc and then forward them to WorldPay from this page.

I want to avoid having to install a shopping cart if possible.

Jamie, you can do that too but tracking of orders are going to be tough. WorldPay will help you to capture their personal details as well and this is needed during their fraud checking.

Thanks tanfwc. I guess I just need to figure out how to actually do it. WorldPay's members area confuses the heck out of me. :blush:

I just did some more searching and found the "HTML Redirect" section of the documentation: http://www.worldpay.com/support/content.php?page=technical&sub=junior That looks to be what I need. Now I need to go do some reading. :)

Jamie,

It's easy to create a simple button although their updated site doesn't seem to lend itself to it! There should be some good examples of forms somewhere, the best I could come up with it http://worldpay.com/support/kb/mergedProjects/htmlredirect/rhtml.html

Thanks Jon. :)
