"PostFinance Checkout is the most practical all-in-one payment solution for Swiss online shops – a contractual partner, a plug-in and five payment options for your customers: PostFinance Card, PostFinance e-finance, TWINT, Visa and Mastercard."
Developed by Murray Wood at Digital Penguin Ltd.
**Thanks to Sebastian G. Marinescu from xvanced for sponsoring the development of this module.
Commerce_PFCheckout requires at least MODX 2.6.5 and PHP 7.1 or higher. Commerce by modmore should be at least version 1.1.4. You also need to have an PostFinance Checkout account which provides the space id
, user id
and secret key
.
Install via the MODX package manager. The listing name is "PostFinance Checkout for Commerce". The package namespace is Commerce_PFCheckout.
Once installed, navigate to Commerce in the MODX manager. Select the Configuration tab and then click on Modules. Find Commerce_PFCheckout in the module list and click on it to make a window pop up where you can enable the module for Test Mode, Live Mode, or both.
Now the module is enabled, you can click on the Payment Methods tab on the left. Then click Add a Payment Method. Select PostFinance Checkout from the Gateway dropdown box and then give it a name e.g. PostFinance Checkout. Next, click on the availability tab and enable it for test or live modes and then click save.
After saving, you'll see an extra PostFinance Checkout tab appears at the top of the window. Here you can enter your PostFinance Checkout API credentials: Space id
, User id
and the Secret key
Congratulations! PostFinance Checkout should now appear as a payment method a customer can use during checkout.
On the payment page of the checkout process in Commerce, the PostFinance Checkout payment method is
displayed according to a default twig template located in your MODX install at:
core/components/commerce_pfcheckout/templates/frontend/gateways/postfinancecheckout/gateway.twig
You can override this default template the same way you would any other template in Commerce: https://docs.modmore.com/en/Commerce/v1/Front-end_Theming.html
Add your own custom template file at
core/components/commerce/templates/your-custom-theme-name/frontend/gateways/postfinancecheckout/gateway.twig
and it will take precedence over the default module template.
Important: remember to set your custom theme name in the Commerce commerce.theme
(and optional custom path in commerce.themes_path
) system settings, or it won't be overridden.
Besides the template, most configuration takes place inside PostFinance Checkout's merchant portal. You need to setup your which payment methods you want to accept, and you can customise the look of the payment page the customer is redirected to.
You will also need to get your three authentication details here:
- Space id
- User id
- Secret Key
Login here: https://checkout.postfinance.ch/user/login
Note: The above can be hard to find. After logging in, go to "Account", create a "Space" and copy the space_id
.
In the sub-menu, go to "Roles" and create a role with all the permissions. Then, go to "Application Users", and
create a new application user and assign the role you just created to this user. Click on "Generate New Key" and then
copy the user_id
and secret_key
it gives you.
