JSON Protocol Reference

The native iOS Payment Device Controller module facilitates payment operations via JSON Key-Value pairs. '
See JSON API Documentation for full functionality info.

Setup

Installation

1. Use the API & Sample Download Link above to download the package and unzip it to a local drive.
2. Add iPDCLib.framework to your project like other normal framework.
3. Add "Supported external accessory protocols" to your app's info.plist with value "com.ingenico.easypayemv.spm-transaction" (there is a sample info.plist in the iPDCAPP.zip/iPDCApp/iPDCApp)
4. If you are using Bluetooth to control the payment terminal, it is advised to enable background communication. For a BT device, add "Required background" to your app's info.plist with value "App communicates with an accessory" (there is a sample info.plist in the iPDCAPP.zip)

Payment Terminal Setup

To find the Payment Terminal IP Address, restart it and hit F2 when you see the RBA version.

API Usage

Basic Flow

See iPDCApp/ViewController.m file and JSON API Documentation for reference

1. Initialize

Call initWithDelegate

2. Set general parameters

Call setProperties.

→ Note: Prop_PinpadInterface key must be explicitly set. This call must be called in main thread only once.  :→ NOTE: Also, search for bSupportIPP320 variable in sample code to learn how to use Bluetooth or Ethernet for connecting to the payment terminal (ICMP is bluetooth, IPP320 is Ethernet.

3. Process transactions

Call postTransactionToUrl:request:withTimeout to process transactions. Repeat as many times as necessary.

4. Get transaction response

Call TransDataReceived

API Introduction

See iPDCApp/ViewController.m file and JSON API Documentation for reference.

Class iPDCManager is the main interface.

1. Protocol IPDCManagerNotify includes four events

-(void) deviceConnected; ==>trigger when pinpad connected

-(void) deviceDisconnected;==>trigger when pinpad disconnected

-(void) TransDataReceived:(NSData*)data; ==>callback function for when postTransactionToUrl api is called. Param data is the transaction return data with JSON format. This format detail can be found in our JSON API Documentation.

-(void) TrackDataReceived:(NSData*)data; ==>callback function for when readTrackData api is called. Param data is the track2 data with JSON format.This format's detail can be found in our JSON API Documentation.

2. initWithDelegate

Instantiate the iPDCManager class and set the IPDCManagerNotify delegate.

3. setProperties

Set the configurations in key-value format.

Valid Keys

Prop_RushMode: enable rush mode or not,default value is "false",valid value is "false" and "true"

Prop_UploadUrl: set where to upload the rush mode transactions ,NO default value.

Prop_CheckInterval: interval for checking rush mode transactions.default value is 60

Prop_FailedThreshold: the max count of trying transactions before enter the rush mode,default value is 3

Prop_QuickChip: enable quickchip,default value is "true",valid value is "false" and "true"

Prop_PinpadIP: Pinpad's IP address for ethernet interface, NO default value.

Prop_PinpadPort: Pinpad's port number for ethernet interface, default value is 12000

Prop_PinpadInterface: set which interface to use. valid value is "BT" and ETHERNET",NO default value,need to be set explicitly.

→ NOTE: Also, search for bSupportIPP320 variable in sample code to learn how to use Bluetooth or Ethernet for connecting to the payment terminal (ICMP is bluetooth, IPP320 is Ethernet.

4. postTransactionToUrl:request:withTimeout

Process the transaction request. This will send the request to url via https protocol unless it is Store & Forward (Rush Mode). The request detail can be found in our JSON API Documentation.

5. readTrackData

Get track2 data for swipe id cards, in-house gift cards, etc

iPassthruManager (DEPRECATED)

Passthru manager is an older version of Payment Device Controller Manager without Store & Forward. It is maintained for backward compatibility. Click on the following link for information on iPassthruManager
