1. Introduction

PM Query is a feature that allows a merchant to retrieve the payment conditions for a specific Payment Method (e.g. expenses, rate, amounts and dates of upcoming payments, etc.) prior to the payment, in order to show this information to the customer before he confirms his order.

This guide is a supplement and should be read alongside e-Commerce.

2. Implementation

The information is gathered via an https request to the following page, using a form containing input parameters: https://ogone.test.v-psp.com/ncol/test/queryPM.asp

Note: Replace 'test' by 'prod' when you want to switch from test to our production environment.

2.1 Input Parameters

Name (* if mandatory) Description
USERID* User ID used to perform the query.
REFID Only if PSPID is part of a group
REFKIND If using REFID, specify the type: PSPID, MGID, (none)
PSWD* User or PSPID Password
PSPID* Unique identifier on our system
ORDERID* Merchant's unique order reference
AMOUNT* Amount of the transaction x100
CURRENCY* ISO 3-letter code (EUR, USD, CHF, etc.)
LANGUAGE* 2-digit language code (fr, en, etc.)
PM* Payment method ('3XCB')
OPERATION* "VEN" or "RES" according to PM configuration
CIVILITY* Civility of the buyer (Mr, Mme, etc.)
ECOM_BILLTO_POSTAL_NAME_FIRST* Customer's first name
ECOM_BILLTO_POSTAL_NAME_LAST* Customer's last name
SHASIGN* SHA Signature (see next chapter)
WITHROOT defines whether the XML response should be encapsulated in one global root element

More information about these fields can be found in your account. Just log in and go to: "Support > Integration & user manuals > Technical guides > Parameter Cookbook".

In order to verify the integrity of the submitted data, our system requires each request to include a SHA signature. This signature is built by hashing the contents of the request, in the 'parameter=value' format in alphabetical order.

For more information on SHA, go to e-Commerce.
