How to Integrate

Websockets

Our Websockets solution lets you install our standalone local websockets service. This service provides a flexible API layer that let’s you control all aspects of the POS flow using your choice of programming language.

Installation

  1. Download the Websockets zip file <HERE>.
  2. Extract the folder to a location of your choosing.
  3. Run ws-setup and follow the instructions.
  4. Run start.bat (Windows) or start.sh (Linux) to start the service.

Once started, follow the below steps to get your first transaction processed!

Making your first transaction

  1. Authenticate.
    Use the code shown to send an initialization request to the server. This will authenticate with the {gateway=worldnet}Worldnet Payments{/gateway} gateway and retrieve settings required for operation.

  2. Initialize the device.
    Once the service has returned a successful authentication you can now initialize the device. Use this code and wait for the device to connect.

  3. Perform a transaction.
    Once the device has connected, simply send the amount to the Websockets that you wish to process for and the device should prompt for a card. Presenting a valid card should result in an online message being sent to the bank and your first transaction processed!
