This plugin requires WooCommerce.

Installation involves the following steps:
* Installing the CCBill payment module for WooCommerce
* Configuring your CCBill account for use with WooCommerce
* Configuring the module with your CCBill account information

Installation Options

The CCBill WooCommerce module can be installed either by searching for the hosted WordPress plugin, or by uploading the plugin downloaded from the CCBill website.

Installing via WordPress Plugin Directory

From the WordPress administration menu, navigate to “Plugins.”
Type “CCBill” into the text field and click “Search Plugins.”
Locate the official CCBill plugin for WooCommerce from the search
results and click the “Install Now” link next to the module title.

Installing via File Upload

From the WordPress administration menu, navigate to “Plugins”
and selected “Upload” from the top menu. Click the “Choose File”
button and select the .zip file downloaded from the CCBill website
or WordPress plugin directory.

Once the file is selected, click “Install Now” to complete
the installation process.

Configuring your CCBill Account

Before using the plugin, it’s necessary to configure a few things in your CCBill account.
Please ensure the CCBill settings are correct, or the payment module will not work.

Enabling Dynamic Pricing

Please work with your CCBill support representative to activate “Dynamic Pricing” for your account.
You can verify that dynamic pricing is active by selecting “Feature Summary” under the
“Account Info” tab of your CCBill admin menu. Dynamic pricing status appears at the
bottom of the “Billing Tools” section.

Creating a Salt / Encryption Key

A “salt” is a string of random data used to make your encryption more secure.
You must contact CCBill Support to generate your salt. Once set, it will be
visible under the “Advanced” section of the “Sub Account Admin” menu. It will
appear in the “Encryption Key” field of the “Upgrade Security Setup Information”
section.

Disabling User Management

Since this account will be used for dynamic pricing transactions rather than
managing user subscription, user management must be disabled.
In your CCBill admin interface, navigate to “Sub Account Admin” and select
“User Management” from the left menu.
Select “Turn off User Management” in the top section.
Under “Username Settings,” select “Do Not Collect Usernames and Passwords.”

Creating a New Billing Form

The billing form is the CCBill form that will be displayed to customers after they choose to check out using CCBill. The billing form accepts customer payment information, processes the payment, and returns the customer to your WooCommerce store where a confirmation message is displayed.

Important
CCBill provides two types of billing forms. FlexForms is our newest (and recommended) system, but standard forms are still supported. Please select a form type to use with WooCommerce and proceed according to the section for Option 1 or Option 2, according to your selection.

Option 1: Creating a New Billing Form – FlexForms

Note: Skip this section if using standard forms

To create a FlexForm form for use with WooCommerce, first ensure “all” is selected in the top Client Account dropdown. FlexForms are not specific to sub accounts, and cannot be managed when a sub account is selected.

Navigate to the FlexSystems tab in the top menu bar and select “FlexForms Payment Links.”

All existing forms will be displayed in a table.

Click the “Add New” button in the upper-left to create a new form.

The New Form dialog displays.

** Payment Flow Name **

At the top, enter a name for the new payment flow (this will be different than the form name, as a single form can be used in multiple flows).

** Form Name **

Under Form Name, enter a name for the form.

** Dynamic Pricing **

Under Pricing, check the box to enable dynamic pricing.

Layout

Select your desired layout, and save the form.

** Edit the Flow **

Click the arrow button to the left of your new flow to view the details.

Under the green Approve arrow, click the square to modify the action.

** Approval URL **

In the left menu, select “A URL.”

Select “Add A New URL” and enter the base URL for your WooCommerce store, followed by: /?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutSuccess

For example, if your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com, the Approval URL would be: http://www.test.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutSuccess

** URL Name **

Enter a name for this URL. This should be a descriptive name such as “Woo Checkout Success.”

** Redirect Time **
Select a redirect time of 1 second using the slider at the bottom and save the form.

** Promote to Live **

Click the “Promote to Live” button to enable your new form to accept payments.

** Note the Flex ID **

Make note of the Flex ID: this value will be entered into the form name when completing the configuration in WooCommerce.

WebHooks (FlexForms Only)

Note: Skip this section if using standard forms

As a final step for configuring a FlexForm, select the sub account to be used with WooCommerce from the top Client Account dropdown.

Navigate to the Account Info tab in the top menu bar and select “Sub Account Admin.”

Select “Webhooks” from the left menu, then select “Add” to add a new webhook. Webhook URL

Under Webhook URL, enter the base URL for your WooCommerce store, followed by: /?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill

For example, if your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com, the Approval URL would be: http://www.test.com//?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill

Select “NewSaleFailure” and “NewSaleSuccess,” then click the Update button to save the Webhook information.

Continue to the Configuration – WooCommerce section of this document.

Option 2: Creating a New Billing Form – Standard Forms

Note: Skip this section if using FlexForms.

To create a standard billing form for use with WooCommerce, navigate to the “Form Admin” section of your CCBill admin interface. All existing forms will be displayed in a table.

Click “Create New Form” in the left menu to create your new form.

Select the appropriate option under “Billing Type.” (In most cases, this will
be “Credit Card.”)

Select “Standard” under “Form Type” unless you intend to customize your form.

Select the desired layout, and click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.

Your new form has been created, and is visible in the table under “View All Forms.”
In this example, our new form is named “201cc.” Be sure to note the name of
your new form, as it will be required in the WooCommerce configuration section.

Configuring the New Billing Form

Click the title of the newly-created form to edit it. In the left menu,
click “Basic.”

Under “Basic,” select an Approval Redirect Time of 3 seconds, and a
Denial Redirect Time of “Instant.”

Configuring Your CCBill Account

In your CCBill admin interface, navigate to “Sub Account Admin” and select “Basic” from the left menu.
Site Name

Enter the URL of your WooCommerce store under “Site Name”

Approval URL

Under Approval URL, enter the base URL for your WooCommerce store, followed by:
/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutSuccess

For example, if your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com, the Approval URL would be:
http://www.test.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutSuccess

If your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com/woo, then the Approval URL would be:
http://www.test.com/woo/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutSuccess

Denial URL

Under Denial URL, enter the base URL for your WooCommerce store, followed by:
/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutFailure

For example, if your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com, the Denial URL would be:
http://www.test.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutFailure

If your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com/woo, then the Denial URL would be:
http://www.test.com/woo/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=CheckoutFailure

Redirect Time

Select an approval redirect time of 3 seconds, and a denial redirect time of “Instant.”

Background Post

While still in the “Sub Account Admin” section, select “Advanced” from the left menu. Notice the top section titled “Background Post Information.” We will be modifying the Approval Post URL and Denial Post URL fields.

Approval Post URL
Under Approval Post URL, enter the base URL for your WooCommerce store, followed by:
/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=Approval_Post

For example, if your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com, the Approval URL would be:
http://www.test.com//?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=Approval_Post

If your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com/woo, then the Approval URL would be:
http://www.test.com/woo//?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=Approval_Post

Denial Post URL
Under Denial Post URL, enter the base URL for your WooCommerce store, followed by:
/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=Denial_Post

For example, if your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com, the Denial URL would be:
http://www.test.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=Denial_Post

If your WooCommerce store is located at http://www.test.com/woo, then the Denial URL would be:
http://www.test.com/woo/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_CCBill&Action=Denial_Post
