ND001 - Hash generation
See how to generate a hash string at Special Fields and Parameters. For this specific feature, you should use one of the following formats:
- For single currency terminals:
TERMINALID:ORDERID:AMOUNT:DATETIME:RECEIPTPAGEURL:VALIDATIONURL:SECRET
- For multi-currency terminals:
TERMINALID:ORDERID:CURRENCY:AMOUNT:DATETIME:RECEIPTPAGEURL:VALIDATIONURL:SECRET
ND002 - Hosted page in an iFrame
If you don't want the customer to leave your site you can implement the HPP within an iframe. There are two ways to do that:
- Build and submit the form as with standard integration, but within the iFrame.
- Build the POST query string within the main page and then create an iFrame with the string as it's SRC value.
Either way, the following extra parameter should also be included in the request:
FIELD | REQUIRED | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
INIFRAME | Y | Y - Ensures that all redirects performed by our system do not break out of the iFrame. |
ND003 - Storing card details

FIELD | REQUIRED | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
SECURECARDMERCHANTREF | Y | string [ 1 .. 200 ] characters Unique Reference assigned by the merchant to identify the stored card details. |
ND004 - Address Verification System
Address Verification System (AVS) is a service provided by major credit card processors to enable merchants to authenticate ownership of a credit or debit card used by a customer.

The fields included in the verification process are:
ADDRESS1
POSTCODE
CITY
ND005 - MaxMind MinFraud
MaxMind provides a score for each transaction between 0.01 and 100 (riskScore), effectively the percentage chance that it could be fraudulent.
Worldnet offers this service free of charge and it can be enabled in the terminal setup section of our Selfcare System. Check out more at Special Fields and Parameters.
Your request must contain at least the following fields to trigger a MaxMind check:
CITY
REGION
COUNTRY
ND006 - Multi Language Support
Depending on your customer's browser definitions and if there's a language template defined for his/her language priority, Worldnet is going to send the payment receipt translated. If the language is not supported by the gateway, the receipt is going to be sent using the gateway's language.
ND007 - Stored Credential use field behavior and settings

ND008 - International payments
If you want to be able to accept international payments, make sure your account has any type of multi-currency processing enabled.
The most common is DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion), it is also the only form of multi-currency processing that adds extra steps to the cadholder experience.
