Payment processor POST off-site
March 14, 2011, 07:45:42 pm
At the moment externally hosted payment processors all use GET to send the user's browser off-site. Generally POST is more optimal and in some cases GET is an undocumented option.

In order to POST I think it would be necessary to gather the user's data on the Main form as per current but then to present the user with the Confirm form and on pressing submit on that form they would be transferred - assuming the contribution is created at the point when the confirm form is presented.

Does that seem the best flow?

redirecting to a GET url is quite easy and hence most of the PP's support the GET redirect

I suspect redirecting to a POST url is also possible (but we have not done it and hence dont know how), but to a large extent the flow should be the same as it currently is

Yes it does. I may have done that a year or two ago for Elavon. I don't recall.

No, you used the undocumented feature of Elavon that it accepts GET.

The one I'm working on does too but it is possible to see the GET URL if you use the back button which is not great (no password in it but a username)

I see. I forgot.

Anyhow your original post makes sense to me.

nope - not yet. It feels like the form process needs re-working

Ok,

did you look at how it'd need to be changed/how long it would take?
