CardConnect Validate Merchant-Level Credentials

To test and validate merchant-level credentials, you can make a PUT request, including the merchant ID in the body of the request, to the base URL. The Gateway verifies that the MID matches the credentials provided in the header.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var http = new CkHttp();

http.BasicAuth = true;
http.Login = "API_USERNAME";
http.Password = "API_PASSWORD";

var json = new CkJsonObject();
success = json.UpdateString("merchid","MERCHANT_ID");

var url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/";

var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpStr("PUT",url,json.Emit(),"utf-8","application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
console.log("response status code = " + resp.StatusCode);

console.log("response string:");
console.log(resp.BodyStr);

// Sample output:

// response status code = 200
// response string:
// <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html
