Calling the Hosted Payment Page

Calling the Hosted Payment Page starts with the correct composition of the parameters which consist of a key and a value and which are separated by an equals sign (=):

All parameters are assembled in a character string and separated by the character &:

Notice: Since the characters "=" and "&" are used as separating characters, these characters cannot be transmitted as values. All values which you transmit without BlowFish-encryption must be URL-Encoded.

A correct parameter character string for 

The Data parameter contains the sensitive payment details such as amount and currency. The encrypted bytes are Hex-encoded and completed to two characters from the left with a zero. Encryption is via Blowfish ECB and is available to you as source-code and components.

The Len parameter is very important for encryption because it contains the length of the unencrypted(!) character string in the Data parameter. Since the data quantity to be encrypted is increased by a multiple of 8 in the case of the Blowfish encryption, the correct length of the character string must be known for decryption. Otherwise accidental characters emerge at the end of the character string.

The parameters are transmitted via HTTPS POST or HTTPS GET. The recommended transmit method is HTTPS POST because the parameter character string in the case of GET is attached to the URL, which is limited to 2048 bytes depending on the browser.

Notice: Please note that the maximum length of a payment request is limited to 5120 characters. If you require longer strings please contact

The following listings show the development of a payment request. The first listing is the unencrypted parameter character string:

Notice: Please note that a value is to be assigned to each parameter. Do not transmit empty parameters, as this can cause the payment to fail.

This character string is encrypted and transmitted as the Data parameter. The HTTPS GET request for the Hosted Payment Page looks like this:

Notice: Please note that parameters like Language or URLBack are transmitted unencrypted. A table with all possible unencrypted parameters can be found also witihn this document.

Corporate PaymentPage: XSLT layout for forms

You can change the parameter Template to create an individual layout for your Hosted Payment Page form which exactly matches the shop layout To this end your graphic designer can design an HTML-template in the shop-design based on XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation). 

The XSLT templates for the Hosted Payment Page form have several advantages:

1. Merchants can bypass the costly PCI-security authorisation
2. The Hosted Payment Page is responsive, i.e. it works on Smartphones, Tablets or on the Laptop

For general information about XSLT see www.w3.org.

The subsequent conventions apply for the use of the Corporate Paypage with XSLT:

File names

A XSL file designed by you defines your individual layout. The associated XML file contains the texts that are to be displayed on the form. Hence, multilingualism is easy. Always use your MerchantID in the names of the files.

In order not to receive safety notices, please ensure that external image sources are retrieved via SSL.

In order to call the individual layout, use the ‘Template’ parameter with your MerchantID and attach it unencrypted to the call of the form of Hosted Payment Page, for example:

Hidden Fields

The following hidden fields must be implemented so that the values can be passed on when sending the form:

Language selection

The language selection on the Hosted Payment Page form occurs automatically depending on the parameter Language. Other language areas are filtered out. If you wish to access the field of another language area e.g. with JavaScript, you can do so via the following path: paygate/language/@name.

XML structure

The ‘Language’ parameter controls which section of the XML text file is read out. German ‘de’ is always used as standard.

The XML file should have the following basic structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
      </languages>
            <language name="de">
                  <title>Zahlung</title>
                  ...
            </language>
            <language name="en">
                  <title>Payment</title>
                  ...
            </language>
      </languages>

‘UTF-8’ is also possible for the encoding.

With <xsl:variablename=““ select=“paygate/language/@name”/> you can directly address an XML language section from the XSL file.

For an overview of which parameters are rendered by the Hosted Payment Page, please examine the following structure (XSL file is rendered against the following XML string):

strXML = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>" & _
