Handepay connects Foxy to Handepay's card payment gateway. Handepay is a UK merchant services provider — this gateway is for merchants processing in the United Kingdom.
Setting up Handepay
You will need a Handepay merchant account before you start. If Handepay does not appear as a selectable option, you may need to remove your current credit card gateway first — hosted payment methods can remain alongside it.
The panel is split into a Live setup block and a Test setup block carrying the same two fields. Fill in the credentials above under Live setup.
Testing
Foxy provides shared test credentials for Handepay, so you can run test transactions without setting up your own sandbox account. Leave the Test setup fields as they are.
Those shared credentials only exercise the integration itself. If you need to test against your own account configuration, contact Handepay for a test merchant ID and your own test card numbers.
Obtaining a test account
Handepay can provide a test merchant ID for your own account. Contact Handepay support to request one.
Test card numbers
Handepay's gateway runs on Cardstream's platform underneath, and Cardstream's published test card numbers work for Handepay as well: see Cardstream's test cards article.
Advanced features
Foxy can pass an optional order reference number to Handepay. Add a field named gateway_order_reference to your checkout form, with the value you want to appear in the Handepay back end — for example, your own order number or an integration-generated reference. One way to add this is through the Custom Checkout Fields option in the templates configuration settings of the Foxy admin. This value shows up in the Handepay back end against the transaction.
Important notes and caveats
Handepay only appears as a selectable gateway if your payment method set does not already have another credit card gateway attached. Hosted payment methods (methods that redirect the customer to a hosted page) do not block it.
Handepay supports 3D Secure and authorize-only transactions.
Troubleshooting
Handepay's response and error codes are the same set used by Cardstream, the platform underneath. See Cardstream's error codes reference for what a given code means.
For anything the error code reference doesn't resolve, contact Handepay support directly — they can see transaction detail that Foxy cannot.
