PesaPal

Subscriptions are not supported with PesaPal at this time. If you intend to sell subscriptions with your FoxyCart store, you will need to make use of another payment gateway.

Setting Up PesaPal for FoxyCart

Important: Ensure all the following steps are completed for your PesaPal account, as without it transactions could fail to complete correctly.

Login to your PesaPal Merchant account and click on IPN Settings in the menu
In the Website Domain enter https://YOUR-STORE.foxycart.com
In the Website IPN Listener Url field, enter https://YOUR-STORE.foxycart.com/ipn.php
Important For the last two steps, ensure you change the URL's to match your actual FoxyCart store domain. For example, if your FoxyCart store domain was example.foxycart.com, you would set the Website Domain to https://example.foxycart.com and the IPN Listener Url to be https://example.foxycart.com/ipn.php. If you had a custom subdomain set up for your store though, and it was instead something like secure.yourstore.com, the Website Domain would be https://secure.yourstore.com and the IPN Listener Url would be https://secure.yourstore.com/ipn.php.

Testing

Obtaining a Test Account

Please Note: Foxy's test account that can be used within the Foxy admin is set up only to work with a locale of Kenya with ksh currency. To test for your own store, you'll need to get a test account with PesaPal that supports your currency.

Contact PesaPal for info on obtaining a test account. Know more? Feel free to edit this page with info.

When on test servers, the card number to use to test a card is right below the card number field on the payment form.

Important Notes and Caveats

Possible Action: Datafeed Handling

At the time of the customer completing the transaction - we don't necessarily know whether the transaction was completed yet or not. We instead rely on a notification from the gateway after the checkout has been completed to confirm whether the transaction was approved or not. To handle this, transactions are initially marked as pending, and when we get a confirmation from the gateway on the result of the transaction, we update it accordingly. Each time the status changes, a datafeed will be sent to your endpoint if configured with the transaction details and the status node will be present.

The status node can contain one of three different values: pending, approved or rejected. Depending on the types of actions you're needing to perform at your datafeed endpoint, you need to make sure the appropriate status value is present first.
