Fat Zebra and AbanteCart Integration Guide
While testing, it is important that you ensure no sensitive data is included in the data you are validating – this includes card numbers and CVV/CVN numbers. We also recommend that you replace card holder names with example data, however names with diacritics, umlauts or accents may cause validation issues, so remember this while you are testing.
Authentication
Authentication with the Fat Zebra API is via HTTP Basic Authentication. When your account is setup you are provided with two sets of credentials – one for the test environment (also known as the Sandbox), and one for the live system. Your test username will always be prefixed with TEST
API request *must* be made over HTTPS – any requests over HTTP will fail. All requests require authentication.
It is important to note that your username is *not* case sensitive however your API token (password) is.
Take the credentials you just obtained from Fat Zebra and navigate to Trexle dashboard, click Payments Gateways and select Fat Zebra from the drop down menu as shown below.
Fill into your Fat Zebra credential and click Add Gateway. Click the Activate button next to Fat Zebra, and it will give you a success message and the button will turn into green. You should see something like below.
To install Trexle extension to your AbanteCart, go to Administrator Dashboard and click on the Extensions link in the left menu.
In the drop-down menu, click on the Get Extensions to open AbanteCart Extensions Marketplace
In the popup window, enter the credentials of your AbanteCart Marketplace account and click on the button Connect.
Find Trexle extension and click on its icon in the Marketplace. In the new window, click on the button Get Now.
Follow the checkout steps and click on the Confirm Order button.
Congratulations, Trexle extension is now successfully installed to your AbanteCart.
To ensure the integration works seamlessly, create a test product, logout from your admin session and perform a checkout as a regular customer.
When you are registered with Fat Zebra you will be provided with a Test Account, which includes its own username and token. Using these details will ensure that transactions are not sent to your live merchant facility but allow you to do a full end-to-end test from your site to our service.
Testing with variable cards will generate a response based on the cent-amount of the transaction – for example if the transaction amount is $100.51 (10051) then the response code will be 51 – Expired Card, and a transaction with the amount $200.00 (20000) will have the response code 00 – Approved.
