Overview
Our script allows you to have a quick & easy payment terminal for your clients to pay with major credit cards (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club) on your website (without leaving it), as well as paypal payments through paypal gateway. Installation and configuration of the script takes less than 5 minutes (however you do need to have SSL and FirstData merchant account, and optional paypal account). There are 3 options to pay: 1) customers can *input price themselves* and type description, 2) you can turn on *pre-defined services* and customers will select service from dropdown and 3) customers can select *recurring services from dropdown*
We used PayPal Website Payments Standard functionality for both onetime PayPal payments and recurring PayPal payments.
Server Requirements
1) PHP 5.0+
2) cURL must be enabled to accept payments (contact your hosting provider if unsure).
Installation
Fresh installation is pretty simple.
1) Unzip the contents of the file which you downloaded from codecanyon.net.
You will find 2 folders: “firstdata-payment-terminal” and “documentation”
2) open firstdata-payment-terminal/includes/config.php and edit all needed variables (see explanation below)
3) Upload “firstdata-payment-terminal” folder to your FTP server.
4) Upload your .PEM key file (you must obtain it from FirstData https://secure.linkpt.net/lpc/servlet/LPCLogin) to “firstdata-payment-terminal/includes”.
Configuration
below you will find all editable variables from includes/config.php and their meaning.
Line 22 – global page meta title
Line 25 – notification email address where you want to receive “new payment received” emails. (can be multiple emails, comma separated)
Line 28 through 33 – non-recurring services array. You can add more by copy/pasting line 33 below it.
Line 35 – if set to true services dropdown will be available on payment page for selection, if false – fillable amount box will appear
Line 38 – Payment type switch, can be ONETIME or RECUR. If set to ONETIME – payment terminal will charge customers single transaction. If set to RECUR – recurring services dropdown will appear instead of amount input box/services dropdown.
Line 42 through 48– Recurring services array. If you need more than 4 recurring options – copy line 47 below it. Array consists of 4 elements: 1 – service name, 2 – service price, 3 – billing frequency (MONTHLY BIMONTHLY WEEKLY BIWEEKLY YEARLY DAILY) 4 – number of instalments of the recurring payment (for example, 12 here and MONHTLY in element 3 – will charge customer once a month, for 1 year.
Line 57 – Name of your Linkpoint security certificate. This can be generated in Linkpoint Central (https://secure.linkpt.net/lpc/servlet/LPCLogin)
It is important to put correct path to your certificate here. Ideally, you can place certificate file into the firstdata-payment-terminal/includes folder – in this case you will set this variable to “12345678.pem” (just an example).
Line 59 – Your STORE ID(Number).
Line 61 – Live/Sandbox indicator. If set to false – you will be using TEST environment, setting this to true will enable LIVE mode.
Line 63 – Debug variable. If set to true you will see merchant gateway response when submitting payment.
Other than the above – you don’t need to edit any variables for FirstData settings.
Continue below for paypal settings.

Line 77 – PayPal success url – your customers will be taken to this page after successful paypal payment.
Line 78 – PayPal cancel url – your customers will be taken to this page if they decide not to pay through paypal.
Line 79 – PayPal ipn url – this is IPN listener file which will accept paypal responses about the payments and will notify you about new payments (if you want to update your db somehow – this is the file for paypal).
Line 80 – PayPal custom variable – you can pass any customer related variable here, serves for the purpose of updating database later in ipn listener file (optional).
Line 81 – PayPal currency.
