Question

I am using activemerchant in a rails application like this

ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test
::GATEWAY = ActiveMerchant::Billing::UsaEpayGateway.new(
  :login => "SOMEKEY"
)

and I keep getting this error code

error_code: \"10117\"\nauth_code: \"000000\"\nstatus: Error\nerror: Transaction authentication required.\n

when i look at the error codes (10117) for usaepay I notice that i need to enter in the pin. This I have, but i dont know how to implement. I tried these two below

ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test
::GATEWAY = ActiveMerchant::Billing::UsaEpayGateway.new(
  :login => "SOMEKEY",
  :password => "MYPIN"
)

ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test
::GATEWAY = ActiveMerchant::Billing::UsaEpayGateway.new(
  :login => "SOMEKEY",
  :pin => "MYPIN"
)

and I still get the same error
Looking at the USAEPAY Library’s initializer I see login but not pin

  def initialize(options = {})
    requires!(options, :login)
    @options = options
    super
   end  

…any ideas how I can sent this pin into Activemerchant

UPDATE

here is my call to the transaction

options = {
  :card_code=>self.card_verification
  :billing_address=>{
    :address1=>self.billing_address,
    :city=>self.city,
    :state=>self.state,
    :zip=>self.zip,
    :country=>"US"
  }
}
response = GATEWAY.purchase(price_in_cents, credit_card, options)

i tried to do this

options = {
  :card_code=>self.card_verification,
  :pin=>"333333",
  :billing_address=>{
    :address1=>self.billing_address,
    :city=>self.city,
    :state=>self.state,
    :zip=>self.zip,
    :country=>"US"
  }
}
response = GATEWAY.purchase(price_in_cents, credit_card, options)

but still nothing

Answer 1

Maybe you need to pass the authorization pin into the transaction. Can you paste the code where you call a transaction, please?

For example, calling this method: capture(money, authorization, options = {})

Edit:

I don’t think ActiveMerchant has the pin feature implemented. Here are your options:

1. Use another script. Here are some examples: http://wiki.usaepay.com/developer/ruby
2. Add this to your Gemfile: gem 'activemerchant', :git => 'git://github.com/kalinchuk/active_merchant.git' It will install a gem from my github account. I added the pin field to active merchant.

You can then call:

::GATEWAY = ActiveMerchant::Billing::UsaEpayGateway.new(
    :login => "SOMEKEY",
    :pin => "PIN"
)
