VibeFox Windcave for PrestaShop

Overview

VibeFox Windcave Payment Gateway adds payments through the Windcave Hosted Payment Page to PrestaShop, using the Windcave REST API. At the payment step the customer chooses Windcave, is sent to the secure Windcave page, pays by card or by another method enabled on your Windcave account, and comes back to your shop. Card data never touches your site, and the order is created only after Windcave confirms the payment.

It suits shops with a Windcave merchant account that want card payments without a card form on their own site, with the choice to take the money at once or only authorise it and capture it later. The module has no subscriptions or recurring payments, no saved cards, no embedded card form on your site, and it does not work with the older PxPay 2.0 API.

Key features

Hosted Payment Page: a Windcave payment session is created for the cart total in the cart currency, with the correct decimals for every currency (NZD 25.50, JPY 3000, KWD 1.250).

Paid only when Windcave confirms: the customer's return and the Windcave notification are both checked on the server through the Windcave REST API. The payment is applied exactly once.

Order check: the amount, currency, merchant reference and transaction type reported by Windcave are compared with the cart. A mismatch puts the order in Windcave payment on hold with a note.

Purchase or Auth: take the money immediately, or authorise it now and capture it later with Capture Windcave payment in the Windcave block of the order.

Refunds from the order page: full and partial refunds in the Windcave block of the order, up to the amount Windcave actually approved. A full refund of an uncaptured authorisation releases it.

Test mode: the Windcave UAT test environment with its own credentials, saved next to the production ones. Refunds and captures always go to the environment in which the order was paid.

No double charge: a new payment attempt first checks the previous one, and a second approved payment for an order that already exists is reported in a note instead of changing the order.

Windcave block on the order page: transaction, card, capture, refunds, sessions of the cart and notes. Log without keys, card or customer data.

Requirements

PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x, PHP 8.0 or later. A Windcave merchant account with REST API credentials (username and API key) for the UAT test environment and/or production. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
