Case Study: Recurring Subscription Form
The following is a case study for creating a simple recurring or subscription page hosted on Newtek Gateway's side and linked from your website that connects to Newtek Gateway for secure processing. This is a great starting off point for service fee merchants that want to accept a fixed dollar amount from the client through a payment form. Below you can download the necessary source code files. Edit the HTML source code with your favorite editor (Notepad, TextEdit, Dreamweaver) to input your source key and edit any of the templated text already there for you. Save the files in the original format. These files will need to be uploaded via a service such as FTP, or something similar, to your website. Once you've uploaded the files you can access them through the browser. Clicking on the button submits the form to Newtek Gateway and brings the customer to the secure payment area on Newtek Gateway's servers. The customer completes the payment process by entering their payment information.
ePayment Form Fields Used
The form uses the following fields to post to Newtek Gateway:
-UMkey - This is the source key that connects you as a valid merchant on our gateway (Required)
-UMcommand - This indicates the type of a transaction, sale. (Required)
-UMcustreceipt - This flags Newtek Gateway to send a customer receipt via email through a value of 'yes'.
-UMaddcustomer UMrecurring is deprecated - This flags Newtek Gateway to add this transaction as a customer record in Customers & Billing area of the Merchant Console. You set the value to yes.
-UMinvoice - This allows you to pass a numerical invoice number for record keeping. (Required)
-UMamount - A text box displayed for customer to enter a decimal (0.00) amount. (Required)
-UMbillamount - Sets the monetary amount to charge on each cycle. If this field is left blank the UMamount will be used instead. This is NOT the “initial” charge or “setup” charge, this is only the “recurring” charge. UMamount determines the initial charge.
-UMschedule - Determines the recurring billing schedule. Possible values are daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually. (defaults to monthly)
-UMnumleft - Number of transactions remaining in recurring billing cycle. If the recurring billing should go on indefinitely, set this to *. (defaults to *)
-UMstart - Start date. Default is tomorrow. Must be entered in YYYYMMDD format. If set to UMstart=next the date of the next billing cycle will be used. For example if today is 2009/01/10 and UMschedule=monthly then UMstart will be set to 2009/02/10.
-UMdescription - A text box for any comments left by the donor
-UMcomments - Optional transaction comments field. Comments are displayed on the transaction details page.
-UMemail - A place for the donor to enter their email address for a confirmation receipt.
