Download CCAvenue payment gateway integration kit

The CCAvenue payment gateway integration kit is client library provided by CCAvenue. This integration kit is available for mobile and web application.

CCAvenue provides the integration kit for many programming environment PHP, Python, ASP.Net and more.

By logging in with the approved Merchant account we can see the menu navigation in the header to see the integration kit downloads. After login, navigate through Resources > Web Integration Kit > Download Integration Kit > Download PHP to get the integration kit for the PHP.

When you download the integration kit from the CCAvenue merchant dashboard, it contains request response payment handler files. The integration kit is also contains Crypto.php with the collection of functions to to encrypt decrypt merchant data.

How to get the CCAvenue Merchant ID, Access Code and Working Key

Fore implementing CCAvenue payment gateway integration, the merchant id, access code and the working key are the prime information to be passed with the payment request. For getting these code and keys you need to have CCAvenue Merchant account.

Once we logged in with CCAvenue by using Merchant account, we can see the dashboard with menu options access the resources and keys.

By navigating via Settings > API keys  the CCavenue API keys page will be shown. This page will display the Merchant Id, Access Code and Working key.

The list of Access Code and Working keys are shown for the corresponding registered URLs. So, we need to copy the right secret keys and use them in the right origin to send payment request.

Payment gateway PHP example integration with a website

In this section, we are going to see an example for integrating CCavenue payment gateway in an PHP application.

Configure the Merchant id, Access Code and Working key with your PHP application. In this example, I have created config.php file to contain these security keys used for payment initiation and processing.

In the PHP payment integration kit downloaded from the CCAvenue resources has the ccavRequestHandler.php, ccavResponseHandler.php, Crypto.php and a test file which contains the sample payment form with required inputs.

CCAvenue Payment Form HTML

A standard payment form has to be submitted for initiating the payment request. This form will contain inputs with merchant id, language, amount, currency and more payment details. It also contains customerโ€™s billing information with name and address.

The following HTML shows the sample payment form used in this PHP CCAvenue payment gateway integration example. The form action is pointed to the PHP endpoint ccavRequestHandler.php to which the payment details will be posted.

ccavRequestHandler.php

In this file, it receives the payment data posted via the HTML form. The posted data are are encrypted in this file. The working key taken from the CCAvenue Merchant dashboard is used as the encryption key.

After encrypting these form input the encrypted details are concatenated and sent to the CCAvenue server with the access code.

The following script shows how it is going to be implemented in the ccavRequestHandler.php file. This code points the CCAvenue test environment for testing the payment flow initially.

Crypto.php

This file contains the functions to encrypt or decrypt the payment information posted via the HTML form. It also includes util functions for padding and conversion.

<?php

	//*********** Padding Function *********************

ccavResponseHandler.php

CCAvenue test environment

Once this payment gateway integration is completed, the code must be tested in the sandbox environment. CCAvenue provides a test environment to test the payment flow before put the application in production.

In the CCAvenue test environment the payment transactions will not be processed. This is the sandbox mode of testing the payment request and response flow.

The example code in this article targets the test environment URL in the payment form action attribute.

Go Live

After testing the CCAvenue payment gateway integration with the PHP application, you can go live by moving it to the production.

For going live and use the CCAvenue secure production environment, the https://test.ccavenue.com target should be replaced with https://secure.ccavenue.com.
