1. Introduction
This document provides an overview of the Pecunix Payment Receipt Interface, and explains in detail how a merchant can easily accept payments in Pecunix gold from customers on an existing or new web site with this interface. To find out more about the Pecunix gold currency, see the web site at
https://pecunix.com/.
1.1 Registered Trademarks
The name 'Pecunix' and 'money refined' are registered trademarks of Pecunix Inc.
1.2 Who should read this document
1.2.1 Small merchants - a simple solution
If you are a small merchant who simply wishes to accept payment for individual items on a web site, it is not necessary to read this document. You can simply log on to your account, and in the account details use the Merchant Tools to "create a link" that you can simply copy and paste on to your web site. You will receive an e-mail message each time you receive a payment. For a description of how this link works, see Appendix B of this document.
1.2.2 Merchants who require full automatic payment verification
Any merchant who wishes to accept Pecunix payments from a web site and use scripting to verify payments will find this document useful and easy to understand. A small amount of basic technical knowledge would be helpful but is not necessary.
1.3 Descriptions
1.3.1 Merchant
In this document, anyone who wishes to receive Pecunix payments through a web site using this Payment Receipt Interface (PRI) is described as a merchant.
1.3.2 Customer
A customer is anyone who has a Pecunix account and wishes to pay a merchant through a merchant's web site using this Payment Receipt Interface (PRI)
1.3.3 PRI
The Payment Receipt Interface is abbreviated to PRI.
1.4 About the PRI
The PRI was designed to make it as easy and simple as possible for merchants to receive Pecunix payments through their web site. It uses existing well-known technology, and ensures industry standard security and encryption techniques to protect the data integrity and confidentiality of both the Merchant and the Customer. This gives the Customer a secure and "seamless" payment experience.
2. Basic description of the PRI process
This section provides a simple description of the PRI process from a customer's perspective.
• Step 1: The customer browses the merchant's web site
• Step 2: When the customer is ready to pay, (s)he proceeds to the merchant's checkout page
• Step 3: On the merchant's checkout page, the customer can choose to pay the merchant in Pecunix gold. (This page may present the total amount of the payment, which can be given in various currencies, including Pecunix gold.)
• Step 4: The customer clicks on the "pay with Pecunix" (or similar) button.
• Step 5: The customer's browser sends the information (and is directed) to the Pecunix secure payment web site.
• Step 6: The Pecunix system uses the information it receives from the customer's browser to generate a payment page that is presented to the customer.
• Step 7: The customer can enter the required payment details to complete the payment from his or her Account to the merchant Account, or (s)he can click Cancel to abort the payment process, in which case (s)he will be redirected back to a page on the merchant web site.
• Step 8: The customer enters the required payment details and completes the secure payment on the Pecunix web site.
• Step 9: After a successful payment is completed, the Pecunix system notifies the merchant system that the payment has been made, and also sends it some details regarding the payment. The payment details hash and digital signature (PGP) that is passed from the Pecunix system to the merchant system enables the merchant system to verify that the payment notification is authentic and came from the Pecunix system.
• Step 10: The customer is presented with a payment confirmation page on the Pecunix web site, showing all the details of the payment.
• Step 11: After the customer has viewed the payment result page, (s)he proceeds by clicking on Continue, and is directed back to the merchant's web site.
3. Payment Receipt Interface details
This section provides the details of how to accept payments with the PRI.
3.1 Merchant account PRI settings
For a merchant to accept Pecunix payments, the merchant must first have a Pecunix account into which they can accept payment. To open a Pecunix account please go to
https://secure.pecunix.com/money.ref...ac.newaccount1
Merchants need to set up their Pecunix account to accept PRI payments as follows:
• Log in to the Pecunix account and select Account Details>Merchant PRI
• Enter a shared secret (8 to 50 characters) for use in the authentication hash (See 3.3 of this document).
• Select a hash algorithm for the payment authentication hash (SHA1 is the default).
• Select "who pays fees" (optional). By default the payee (merchant) will pay the spend fees. Use this setting to require the payer (customer) to pay the fees, or share the fees equally between the customer and merchant.
• Select "PRI payments only for this account" (optional). This option allows this account to only accept payments through the PRI and not accept payments made directly to the account through the web interface.
• Select "Require input hash" (optional). This option allows this account to only accept a PRI payment if a valid input hash is present.
3.2 HTML forms
The PRI utilises the following key HTML forms:
• Payment Request Form – This form is generated by the merchant system and submitted to the Pecunix system via the customer's browser.
• Payment Status Notification Form – This form is generated by the Pecunix system and submitted to the merchant system in a background process.
• Payment Successful Form -This form is generated by the Pecunix system and submitted to the merchant system via the customer's browser when (s)he clicks the continue button after a successful payment.
• Payment Cancelled Form - This form is generated by the Pecunix system and submitted to the merchant system via the customer's browser when (s)he clicks the cancel button before a payment is completed.
3.2.1 Payment Request Form
This form is generated by the merchant system and submitted to the Pecunix system via the customer's browser as described in Step 4 of Section 2.
Action
The form action must be set to the following URL:
https://pri.pecunix.com/money.refined
Method
The form method may be set to POST (recommended) or GET.
Fields
The following table shows the hidden fields on the Payment Request Form.
HTML Field Name and optional abbreviations
Field Description
PAYEE_ACCOUNT (required)
or PAYE
The e-mail address of the merchant Pecunix account that will receive the payment.
PAYMENT_AMOUNT (required)
or AMT
The amount of the payment in the designated payment units (see below). This amount must be greater than zero, and may be to an accuracy of 4 decimal places. Examples: 0.0041 or 5689.0215
PAYMENT_UNITS (optional)
or UNIT
The payment units that the amount is specified in and to be used for the payment. (See Table 2 for a complete list of available payment units.) If this field is not present or is empty, the payment units will be set to grams (GAU).
WHO_PAYS_FEES (optional)
or WPFEE
Designates which account pays the payment fees. If this field is not present or is empty, the default is set and the recipient (merchant) pays the payment fees.
The WHO_PAYS_FEES field value can be PAYER, PAYEE (default) or BOTH. The actions taken for each are as follows:
PAYER – The customer pays the payment fees. The merchant does not pay any payment fees.
PAYEE – The merchant pays the payment fees.
BOTH – The payment fees are divided evenly between the customer and the merchant.
STATUS_URL (optional)
or SURL
Designates whether Pecunix server should send payment status notification to the merchant server.
If this field is not present or is empty, no status message will be sent to the merchant server. Note that in this case a payment notification e-mail generated by the Pecunix system will be sent if allowed in the merchant's account settings.
Payment status is submitted as an HTML form POST upon successful completion of a Pecunix payment if a valid URL is specified as the value. The target URL would normally be that of a cgi script or other form processor. This URL can specify a secure protocol such as https.
Example:
https://gold-cart.com/paymentcatcher.php
STATUS_TYPE (optional)
or STYP
Designates how the Pecunix server should send payment status to the merchant server. If the STATUS_URL field is not present or is empty this field is ignored. If this field is not present, the default value of FORM is used.
The STATUS_TYPE field value can be FORM (default) or XML. The actions taken for each are as follows:
FORM – The payment status is sent to the STATUS_URL in an HTML form using the POST method.
XML - The payment status is sent to the STATUS_URL as an XML packet, signed by PGP and submitted in the BODY of the message.
PAYMENT_URL (optional)
or PURL
The URL to which the customer is sent (and a form is optionally submitted) after a successful Pecunix payment to the merchant.
If this field is not present or is empty, the Pecunix system will attempt to set this value to the address of the referring page.
This is the customer's normal return path to the merchant's web site. This URL can specify a secure protocol such as https. By default, this URL is assumed to be a simple LINK and no data is submitted. Other actions are possible when the optional PAYMENT_URL_METHOD field is specified (see below).
PAYMENT_URL_METHOD (optional)
or PUM
If no PAYMENT_URL field is specified, this field is ignored. When a value is set for the PAYMENT_URL, the PAYMENT_URL_METHOD value can be set to POST GET or LINK. The actions taken for each are as follows:
POST – The customer is returned to the PAYMENT_URL and payment information is sent in an HTML form using the POST method.
GET - The customer is returned to the PAYMENT_URL and payment information is sent in an HTML form using the GET method.
LINK - The customer is returned to the PAYMENT_URL and no payment information is sent.
NOPAYMENT_URL (optional)
or NPURL
The URL to which the customer is sent (and a form is optionally submitted) after an unsuccessful or cancelled Pecunix payment to the merchant.
If this field is not present or is empty, the Pecunix system will attempt to set this value to the address of the referring page.
This is the customer's alternate return path to the merchant's web site. This URL can specify a secure protocol such as https. By default, this URL is assumed to be a simple LINK and no data submitted. Other actions are possible when the optional NOPAYMENT _URL_METHOD field is specified (see below).
NOPAYMENT_URL_METHOD (optional)
or NPUM
If no NOPAYMENT_URL field is specified, this field is ignored. When a value is set for the NOPAYMENT_URL, the NOPAYMENT_URL_METHOD value can be set to POST GET or LINK. The actions taken for each are as follows:
POST – The payment status is sent to the NOPAYMENT_URL in an HTML form using the POST method.
GET - The payment status is sent to the NOPAYMENT_URL in an HTML form using the GET method.
LINK - The customer is returned to the NOPAYMENT_URL and no payment information is sent.
INPUT_HASH (optional)
or HASH
The value of this field is a message digest (MD5 or SHA1) calculated from the values of the PAYEE_ACCOUNT, PAYMENT_AMOUNT, PAYMENT_UNITS, PAYMENT_ID, WHO_PAYS_FEES and your shared secret. (See section 3.3 below.)
If this field is present, the Pecunix system will check the input of the payment request form to ensure that no tampering or changes have been made to the PAYEE_ACCOUNT, PAYMENT_UNITS, PAYMENT_ID, WHO_PAYS_FEES or PAYMENT_AMOUNT values.
PAYMENT_ID (optional)
or PID
The value of this field attaches an order number or any other reference number to the payment. This field is included when calculating the authentication hash sent to the status URL. If the field in not present, an empty string is used as its value when computing the authentication hash. This field accepts up to 10 digits only from 0 to 9.
SUGGESTED_MEMO (optional)
or SMEM
If this input field is present, the memo area of the payment form is pre-filled in with its value. At most, 100 characters can be entered into the memo field. The customer cannot edit the memo but can add a message at the time of the payment.
Extra merchant parameters (optional)
Up to five optional text fields, each with a maximum length of 150 characters, may be included in the form. These text fields can have any name other than the names already listed above and will be carried through the Pecunix system, to eventually be returned to the merchant system via the normal return form or the alternate return form. Note: If more than 5 fields are included, the excess fields will be discarded.
Table 1. Hidden Fields On The Payment Request Form.
Payment Units
The following table lists the valid currency codes that the PRI will accept on the Payment Request Form.
Payment Unit
PAYMENT_UNITS Value
Grams (default Value)
GAU
Troy Ounces
OAU
The Pecunix PRI also supports all payment units listed at
https://pecunix.com/money.refined...gld.rates
Table 2: Payment Units
If the specified payment unit is not GAU or OAU (a weight of gold), the Pecunix system will convert the specified amount into grams of Pecunix on behalf of the merchant using Pecunix's exchange rates. If the merchant submits a payment unit that requires conversion, the merchant accepts that the exchange rate supplied by Pecunix will be satisfactory. Pecunix uses a conversion factor of 31.034768 grams per troy ounce in cases where the unit specified is OAU.

3.2.2 Payment Status Notification Form
This form is generated by the Pecunix system and submitted to the merchant's system in a background process as described in Step 9 of Section 2. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the merchant system verifies the information submitted by this form using methods described in Section 3.3 below.
Action
The form action is set to the STATUS_URL given in the Payment Request Form.
Method
The form method is POST.
No response is expected from the merchant system when this form is submitted and if any HTML is returned it is ignored and discarded. The Pecunix system will resubmit the Payment Status Notification Form three times or until it obtains a valid http(s) status response indicating a successful post. Because of this, under certain communication error conditions it may be possible for the merchant's system to receive multiple POSTs of the Payment Status Notification Form.

3.3 Validation of critical payment information
The PRI utilises cryptographic validation in the following key HTML forms:
• Payment Request Form – This form is generated by the merchant system and submitted to the Pecunix system via the customer's browser. Although it is not required, it is recommended that the merchant system include an INPUT_HASH field in this form to prevent any possible tampering with the values of the PAYEE_ACCOUNT, PAYMENT_AMOUNT, WHO_PAYS_FEES and PAYMENT_UNITS fields before the form is submitted.
• Payment Status Notification Form – This form is generated by the Pecunix system and submitted to the STATUS_URL on the merchant system in a background process after the successful completion of a payment from a customer (See 3.2.2 above). Although not required, it is recommended that the merchant system performs the following validations:
1. Verify that no data tampering took place.
2. Verify the payee account and amount received (not necessary if INPUT_HASH was used).
3.3.1 Using INPUT_HASH
Due to the nature of HTML, it is possible for a dishonest customer to adjust the values of the form fields in the payment request form before it is submitted to the Pecunix system for processing. To ensure this is not possible on the payment critical fields and to make verification of the payment easier, it is recommended that the merchant use the INPUT_HASH. The input hash may be an MD5 hash or an SHA1 hash.
Constructing the INPUT_HASH
Construct the input hash by simply combining (concatenating) the relevant data in a string with colons as delimiters and then performing the hash calculation on the string. There is a simple tool in your Pecunix account under Account Details > Merchant PRI that will help you to create the INPUT_HASH.
Create the string as follows:
PAYEE_ACCOUNT:PAYMENT_AMOUNT:PAYMENT_UNITS:PAYMENT _ID:WHO_PAYS_FEES:Shared secret
Note that the PAYEE_ACCOUNT e-mail address must be lower case, the PAYMENT_UNITS and WHO_PAYS_FEES must be upper case, and that the PAYMENT_ID and shared secret are case sensitive.
Example 6
The following are examples of how to construct the INPUT_HASH
If PAYMENT_ID and WHO_PAYS_FEES are defined:
[email protected]:1.00:AUD:1234:PAYER:My shared secret
The resulting MD5 hash is: D6FCB7D3AD15CB97C4C094D9FC769BEF
The resulting SHA-1 hash is: 72D5AADDE2A2172693B5185B8B66463508C9B632
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If PAYMENT_ID and WHO_PAYS_FEES are not defined:
[email protected]:1.00:AUD:::My shared secret
The resulting MD5 hash is: A7A55656E745ED25C5115D7C4D9C60AD
The resulting SHA-1 hash is: 9581D5683F017314F85BA9D96461C62697CF3A40
NOTE: As seen in the second example, if you do not wish to include an optional PAYMENT_ID in your form input, you must still include the delimiters for the space where it would be when creating the INPUT_HASH.
3.3.2 Verify that no data tampering took place
3.3.2.1 Using PGP Signature Verification
When the Pecunix system sends the payment notification details to the merchant system as a WDDX packet or in an e-mail, the information is signed using the Pecunix private key. If the PGP signature verifies correctly using the Pecunix public key the merchant can be sure of the integrity of the details in the message and that they do originate from the Pecunix system. The Pecunix public key is available at
https://pecunix.com/money.refined…ref.pgpkey
IMPORTANT: If the merchant did not use the optional INPUT_HASH in the payment request form, it is still necessary to check that the PAYEE_ACCOUNT, the PAYMENT_AMOUNT and the PAYMENT_UNITS are correct.

3.3.2.2 Using PAYMENT_HASH Verification
When the Pecunix system sends the payment notification details to the merchant system as a WDDX packet or as a form POST, one of the details is a hash (message digest) of the payment notification details. The merchant can validate the values of the payment notification details by reconstructing the hash using the values given and comparing the 2 hashes. If the hashes are identical, the merchant can be sure of the integrity of the details in the message and that they do originate from the Pecunix system.
IMPORTANT: If the merchant did not use the optional INPUT_HASH in the payment request form, it is still necessary to check that the PAYEE_ACCOUNT, the PAYMENT_AMOUNT and the PAYMENT_UNITS are correct.
PAYMENT_HASH Details
The Pecunix system generates the PAYMENT_HASH by concatenating the following fields in the Payment Status Notification Form using colons as delimiters:
1. PAYEE_ACCOUNT (lower case)
2. PAYMENT_AMOUNT (always to 2 decimal places)
3. PAYMENT_UNITS (upper case)
4. PAYER_ACCOUNT (lower case)
5. PAYMENT_REC_ID
6. PAYMENT_GRAMS (always to 4 decimal places)
7. PAYMENT_ID (case sensitive)(if no PAYMENT_ID was sent, use an empty string)
8. PAYMENT_FEE (always to 4 decimal places)
9. TXN_DATETIME (ISO 8601 format)
10. Shared secret (from your account settings) (case sensitive)
The Pecunix system generates the type of hash selected in the merchant's account settings (See section 3.1). An MD5 hash is 32 upper-case hexadecimal digits long and an SHA-1 hash (recommended) is 40 upper-case hexadecimal digits long.
Example 8
The following are examples of how to construct the PAYMENT_HASH
Details of the payment:
PAYEE_ACCOUNT -
[email protected]
PAYMENT_AMOUNT - 1.00
PAYMENT_UNITS - AUD
PAYER_ACCOUNT -
[email protected]
PAYMENT_REC_ID - 000014568
PAYMENT_GRAMS - 0.0540
PAYMENT_ID - 1234
PAYMENT_FEE - 0.0002
TXN_DATETIME - 2002-04-10 10:14:54
[email protected]:1.00:AUD:
[email protected]:000014568:0.0540:1234:0.0002:2002-04-10 10:14:54:My shared secret
The resulting MD5 hash is: 870CDD32D63BF16D4E8AB842295324A4
The resulting SHA-1 hash is: 7D9479B87596EC0E76A3897836F3BEC438A69976
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details of a payment where no PAYMENT_ID is given:
PAYEE_ACCOUNT -
[email protected]
PAYMENT_AMOUNT - 1.00
PAYMENT_UNITS - AUD
PAYER_ACCOUNT -
[email protected]
PAYMENT_REC_ID - 000014568
PAYMENT_GRAMS - 0.0540
PAYMENT_ID -
PAYMENT_FEE - 0.0002
TXN_DATETIME - 2002-04-10 10:14:54
[email protected]:1.00:AUD:
[email protected]:000014568:0.05409::0.0002:2002-04-10 10:14:54:My shared secret
The resulting MD5 hash is: F68ABAF68D28CC2E9DA6E2514256891E
The resulting SHA-1 hash is: B2AA403A31382487F9CC25A331608A443EE4BEC8
NOTE: The combined (concatenated) line of details in these examples have been wrapped to a second line because of space constraints. In practise, there are no line breaks in the string.
3.3.3 Verify the payee account and amount received
Due to the nature of HTML, it is possible for a dishonest customer to adjust the values of the form fields (such as the amount, payment units and payee account) in the payment request form before it is submitted to the Pecunix system for processing. To ensure this is not possible on the payment critical fields and to make verification of the payment easier, it is recommended that the merchant use the INPUT_HASH. If the merchant chooses not to use the INPUT_HASH it is very important that the merchant system verifies that the PAYEE_ACCOUNT, PAYMENT_AMOUNT and PAYMENT_UNITS are correct and as expected, even if the PAYMENT_HASH verifies correctly.
3.3.4 Important security recommendations
Pecunix strongly recommends that the merchant should use the INPUT_HASH to ensure the data integrity of incoming payment requests. It is also recommended that a secure (SSL) URL is used for the STATUS_URL to help maintain data security and that SHA-1 hash is used rather than MD5 hash.
4. Payment Receipt Interface testing
The best way to test your PRI implementation is to use very small payment amounts (e.g. 0.0001 GAU). This allows you to test using the live Pecunix site in a real-world situation. Before live deployment, the PAYMENT_AMOUNT and INPUT_HASH can then be adjusted to the real values required in your entry form.

Appendix A. Hash Algorithms
A one-way hash function, also known as a message digest, fingerprint or compression function, is a mathematical function which takes a variable-length input string and converts it into a fixed-length binary sequence. Furthermore, a one-way hash function is designed in such a way that it is hard to reverse the process, that is, to find a string that hashes to a given value (hence the name one-way). A good hash function also makes it hard to find two strings that would produce the same hash value.
Hash algorithms are generally used to create digital signatures that can be used to verify that data has not been changed since the signature was created. Merchants and developers using the Pecunix system can choose whether they wish to implement either an MD5 or SHA-1 hash.
Ron Rivest invented the MD5 hash and the reference implementation is published as Internet RFC 1321. MD stands for Message Digest and the algorithm produces a 128-bit hash value.
SHA-1 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 1 and NIST and the NSA designed it. SHA-1 produces 160-bit hash values, longer than MD5, and SHA-1 is generally considered more secure than other algorithms. SHA-1 is the recommended hash algorithm and its definition can be found at
https://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip180-1.htm.
Appendix B. Payment Links
A simple link placed on your website or in an e-mail message, allows your customers to click through to the Pecunix website to pay for your products. A link has all the information that is required to make the
payment and makes it simple for anyone to accept Pecunix payments for their goods or services. This feature has excellent applications, for example bulk billing by e-mail.
A link takes the customer to a secure payment page on the Pecunix web site with all the correct details of the transaction already confirmed by the system. The customer simply completes the login process and the payment is completed.
Creating a payment link
To create a payment link, list the payment information in the correct order with commas between each value as follows:
1. Payee e-mail address.
2. Amount to pay.
3. Three letter currency code (optional, default is GAU, see Table 2).
4. Who pays the fees (optional, default is PAYEE, possible values are PAYER, PAYEE or BOTH).
5. A reference number (optional).
6. Input hash (optional, see section 3.3.1 above).
