Security
With Paystation's "Three Party" connection method, your customer is sent to Paystation's website to submit their payment information. Paystation then returns the customer to your website, along with some data in the URL to tell Squirrelcart the status of that transaction. Squirrelcart uses the information in that URL to decide whether to approve or decline an order. It's possible for a customer to alter this URL to fake an "approved" statuts even if Paystation issued a decline.
To add security, Paystation has a "quick lookup" feature that allows your server to make a separate behind the scenes request to Paystation to see if the transaction is legitimate. We recommend that you make use of this feature, which has additional requirements outlined below.
If you do not make use of their "quick lookup" feature, you should always confirm in your Paystation control panel that a transaction has been approved and for the correct amount before shipping any goods.
Requirements
Other than a Paystation Three Party account, there are no special requirements. If you make use of the "quick lookup" feature (recommended), it has the following requirements:
