Overview

ePDQ is a payment gateway offered by Barclaycard, a bank in the UK. You can read more about ePDQ here:

http://www.epdq.com

 

They offer 2 connection methods, CPI and MPI. Both of these methods are supported by Squirrelcart.

CPI uses Squirrelcart's "Gateway Hosted" connection method.

Requirements

• CURL or fsockopen support
• The domain name in the store URL must not be an IP address
• The store URL cannot contain a port number (as in http://www.example.com:80)
• ePDQ CPI account information

 

Setup Instructions

1. Create user account with CPI access
   Barclaycard Business provides you with a user account to access the Store Admin. Your Store Admin user role is set at ePDQ Level 4. They recommend that you use a separate user account to integrate the ePDQ CPI, with a user role of CPI Access. This allows you to control the permissions of the person integrating the CPI and prevents access to the Store Admin.
   
   a. If you do not already have your Store Admin password login details contact ePDQ support.
   b. Log into your ePDQ store, click Administration from the top four options
   c. Select Users from the menu on the left
   d. From the User Configuration Page (Please see the ePDQ User Guide section Controlling Access to your Store for details), select Add.
   e. The Add User page will be displayed. Enter the details as required.
        - The User ID must be at least 8 alpha/numeric characters and can be up to 32 characters. It must not contain any special characters (such as *,/,\_,-). A User ID such as CPIUser1 is recommended.
        - The Password must be at least 8 alpha/numeric characters and must not contain any special characters.
        - Enter the Password again for validation purposes.
        - Enter a Password Prompt. This must not be your password and must not compromise the password (i.e. same as user ID).
        - Account Name and Account Description are optional, though entering a name and description such as CPI Integration User and User for CPI Access only is recommended.
        - The Role is the level of permissions you wish to assign to the user. Use the drop down list to select the role of CPI Access.
        - Set Pagination size according to how much data you wish to have displayed on each page.
   f. You should elect for an email to be sent to the merchant confirming the creation of a new user.
   g. Once you have entered all the details correctly, select Add. If you have entered any details incorrectly and wish to clear all fields, select Reset.
   h. The new user will now be created, and can be viewed from the User Configuration Page.
   i. Log on as the new user to confirm the user had been created correctly.
   j. Sign off from the engine.
