How can I change the Pay Now button to a link in SWP Checkout?

Secure Web Pay Checkout request parameters may be passed in the browser as part of the URL string:

What are SWP Checkout's Retry Policies?

When asynchronous postback failures occur within SWP Checkout 2.0, the system attempts to resend the response if the POST action did not result in an HTTP 200 response (i.e., OK). The number of retry attempts depends on the actual error (e.g., transaction error vs. an endpoint connection failure). 

For each failed postback attempt, the system adds one minute to the retry time. For transaction errors, the system will attempt to retry up to twenty times. For endpoint connection failures, the system will attempt to retry up to ten times.

How do I make the reCaptcha image display using Safari when I access SWP Checkout in an embedded iframe?

If you see a white panel after selecting the "I'm not a robot" reCaptcha checkbox, you'll need to update your browser to Safari 12.1.2 or higher. Safari version 12.1.1 has issues properly displaying the reCaptcha verification when you access SWP Checkout in a nested iframe greater than 512px. If you continue to experience problems after updating your browser version, consider the following additional solutions:

  1. Search Google for the "512px Safari iFrame reCaptcha Workaround." The reCaptcha verification may work inside an iframe that is 512px or less. 
  2. Inject the following header inside the iframe:
     <style type="text/css">.rc-image-tile-wrapper{transition: auto !important}</style>

What are some SWP-Checkout flows?

This solution details SWP-Checkout customer experiences when the following SWP-Checkout request parameters are used:


  • pg_return_url -------------> we will refer to this as the receiving endpoint for the postback
  • pg_return_method
  • pg_continue_url
  • pg_cancel_url


Case I. ( if pg_return_method="Post" ):

Upon approval, the postback will be sent and the customer will be redirected to the receiving endpoint. Upon decline, no postback will be sent. The customer will be redirected to the endpoint specified in the 'pg_cancel_url' request parameter upon click of the 'Abort' button (shown on the Transaction Decline dialog).


Case II, ( if pg_return_method='AsyncPost' ):

Upon approval or decline, the customer will either be first displayed the receipt (upon an approval) or be displayed the Transaction Decline dialog (upon decline). Next, the postback will be sent asynchronously. Lastly, the customer be redirected to the respective endpoints specified in 'pg_continue_url' or 'pg_cancel_url' request parameters upon click of continue (shown on the receipt) or abort (shown on the Transaction Decline dialog) buttons, as appropriate.


More information on the 'pg_return_url', 'pg_return_method', 'pg_continue_url', and 'pg_cancel_url' is available in the SWP-Checkout developer documentation available here: https://www.forte.net/devdocs/pdf/SWP_Integration.pdf. We strongly encourage testing this in the sandbox test environment.
