In order to set up your VOD site to use CCbill, this will take changes on CCbill's admin panel, and then setup within your VOD area.
CCbill Control Panel Setup
1) Subaccount Setup:
VOD requires a separate subaccount be set up with CCbill. This subaccount needs to be approved for use in order to do test orders and real orders.
This subaccount will need the following settings:
- Dynamic Pricing set up.
- User management turned off.
- Multi-Sign turned on.
- One Click Upgrades and SMS upgrades are unnecessary and not used by our system.
- OPTIONAL: If you want to have orders over $100, you'll also need to request this from CCBill. Otherwise, we can cap the shopping cart so that orders over $100 can't be placed.
- OPTIONAL: ChargePlus support (see below for more details)
2) ChargePlus Support (Optional):
If you want customers to be able to make purchases without having to put in their credit card each time, we will need ChargePlus to be turned on by CCbill's end. Please check with CCbill if you wish for this to be set up.
NOTE: You may not be approved for chargeByPrevious. In this case, customers will need to enter their billing information for each purchase.
If you are approved for ChargePlus, CCbill will need to set up a datalink account so our system can take advantage of ChargePlus.
Datalink has IP restrictions in place, so access will need to be granted to your outgoing Server IP.
Your host can provide this IP address to you as needed. The easiest way for them to do this is to run:
curl -s https://support.elevatedx.com/ip.php 2>&1
Via the command line.
3) Setup Postbacks:
VOD requires specific postbacks and redirects set up under this new subaccount. These URLs are set up as follows:
Approval URL: http://mysite.com/vod/postback.php
Approval Post URL: http://mysite.com/vod/postback.php
Denial URL: Leave Blank
Denial Post URL: Leave Blank
Please make sure that http://mysite.com/vod/ is replaced with the URL to your VOD area.
5) Test Orders
CCbill will need to configure a test order email. Typically, CCbill will want an email address and IP address range that is allowed.
If you would like Elevated X Support to perform any tests, our IP is:
192.81.132.21
Please also make sure that your server IP listed above is listed as an IP that can do test transactions.
6) Label Change:
You will want to have CCBILL change the default "Pricing Description" that displays to your customers. By default this will be "X.XX (USD) for 2 days - (Non-recuring). Please have them change the description to:
"X.XX (USD) for your purchase"
7) Required Information
Once this is done, please take note of the following information, as it will go in your admin panel
- CCbill Account Number
- CCbill Subaccount Number
- CCbill Form Name / Id. Forms should be using their FlexForms interface, instead of JPost
- CCbill Salt Value
- CCbill Datalink Login / Password (If you are using ChargePlus)
This will come in handy for setting up your VOD payment processor within the CMS admin panel.
