A plugin providing a custom solution to enable mobile payments integration via Selcom USSD Push for WordPress websites running on WooCommerce.
This plugin comes to provide a comprehensive solution to mobile payments integration for local e-commerce service providers as the demand increases. We found that several developers struggle when it comes to these necessary yet unmet provisions serving as tools to simplify such works.
Before one choses this tool for their particular project(s), it is necessary for them to have developer-level understanding of PHP (Preferrably 7.1.3 and above), WordPress, WooCommerce, and using API(s) as it may come in handy when facing problems. Also, they should contact Selcom and request for merchant account for them to get necessary information such as security tokens and others required to make this plugin work successfully.
A guide for those wanting to contribute to the project and make improvements to the code.
- Send direct USSD Push notification to client's mobile
- Simplified checkout procedure, with order status updates as payments occur
This plugin makes use of cURL to send HTTP POST requests.
Sample code:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
if($isPost){
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,90);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);Alternatively, one might prefer using the WordPress HTTP API to do so (see documentation).
Just download the files, open the file epush.php, overwrite the $api_key, $api_secret, $vendor & $base_url values with the ones provided by Selcom upon merchant account provision. After that, create a random string generator function and return its value to $transid (See TODO). Finally, upload the plugin to your website, activate it, test it and if no errors occur, you're set to receive mobile payments to your merchant wallet.
