HiPay

The HiPay extension allows customer to pay using HiPay payment methods.

Prerequisites​

To use this extension, you need an HiPay account that can access the HiPay console.

Installation​

First, you need to install the @front-commerce/hipay package:

Command to install @front-commerce/hipay
$ pnpm install @front-commerce/hipay
# needs to be installed due to https://github.com/hipay/hipay-enterprise-sdk-nodejs/issues/3
$ pnpm install @hipay/hipay-enterprise-sdk-nodejs

Then to enable the extension, you need to add the HiPay extension definition to your front-commerce.config.ts. When doing that, you need to pass the flavor in which you want to run the extension, the flavor must be one of the following values:

  • magento2: in this flavor, the extension is configured to work with Magento2.
  • magento1: in this flavor, the extension is configured to work with Magento1.
front-commerce.config.ts for a Magento2 based project
import { defineConfig } from "@front-commerce/core/config";
import themeChocolatine from "@front-commerce/theme-chocolatine";
import magento2 from "@front-commerce/magento2";
import hipay from "@front-commerce/hipay";
import storesConfig from "./app/config/stores";
import cacheConfig from "./app/config/caching";

export default defineConfig({
extensions: [
magento2({ storesConfig }),
themeChocolatine(),
hipay("magento2"),
],
stores: storesConfig,
cache: cacheConfig,
configuration: {
providers: [],
},
});

Configuring the HiPay console​

For Front-Commerce to use the HiPay API you will need to create technical users and retrieve some informations for the environment variables.

  • Go to Menu > Integration > Security Settings.
  • Get the "Secret Passphrase" as FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_SECRET_PASSPHRASE
  • Ensure the "Hashing Algorithm" is SHA-256
  • Create the public user
    • Click on "Generate new credentials"
    • Set "Credentials accessibility" to "Public"
    • Check "Tokenize a card"
    • Click on "save"
    • Get the "username" as FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PUBLIC_USERNAME
    • Get the "password" as FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PUBLIC_PASSWORD
  • Create the private user
    • Click on "Generate new credentials"
    • Set "Credentials accessibility" to "Private"
    • Check all in "Order" and "Maintenance"
    • Click on "save"
    • Get the "username" as FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PRIVATE_USERNAME
    • Get the "password" as FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PRIVATE_PASSWORD

You must also configure IP restrictions to allow your server to communicate with HiPay:

  • For self-hosted deployments: add your server's IP address
  • For Front-Commerce cloud deployments: whitelist the IPs listed in our documentation

Add the HiPay settings to the environment​

You need to define several environment variables to enable HiPay payments:

  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_SECRET_PASSPHRASE: from the HiPay console (see above)
  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PUBLIC_USERNAME: from the HiPay console (see above)
  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PUBLIC_PASSWORD: from the HiPay console (see above)
  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PRIVATE_USERNAME: from the HiPay console (see above)
  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_PRIVATE_PASSWORD: from the HiPay console (see above)
  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_ENVIRONMENT: stage or production depending on your targeted environment

Optional environment variables:

  • FRONT_COMMERCE_HIPAY_NOTIFICATION_DELAY: Payment capture notifications can arrive in the same time as payment authorization notifications, you can set a delay (in milliseconds) to prevent the notifications to be stored in the wrong order in the backend

Register HiPay payment components​

Nothing more to do, HiPay payment components are now registered automatically.
