Account Creation

To process transactions with this plugin, you need an account on our platform.

This plugin works with both our test and live environment. A test account is a great way to get familiar with both the plugin and our platform. Once you want to go live, create a production account or contact us!

Installation

  1. Install plugin
  2. Configuration
  3. Manage payments

Install plugin

The first step to use the plugin is the installation process. Before you proceed, make sure your infrastructure meets these system requirements:

Item Description
Plugin package

Download the plugin

Direct credentials
Java

At least version 17, SapMachine 17 is recommended

JAVA_HOME property will need to be set to the correct location for the installer to work correctly

SAP Commerce

Officially supported versions of SAP Commerce cloud are:

  • 2211.2

Other patch releases of 2105 and 2011 are compatible with this plugin. However, the plugin is untested for other versions.
You will need to source a copy of SAP Commerce, as it is not included with the plugin.

SAP Commerce components

The reference storefront implementation is designed to work with the Apparel Accelerator.

Use with the B2B Accelerator, Electronics Accelerator or others is not officially supported. However, the backend services are in place to facilitate this.

If you have already customized your system heavily, some additional integration may be required, as this plugin is designed to work with the standard Accelerator UI.

Development environment

The examples in this document work with a UNIX-based development environment (e.g. Mac OS X or Linux).

For Windows installations, use the appropriate Windows commands (e.g. setantenv.bat, hybrisserver.bat).

PCI compliancy

SAQ A

The plugin’s in-built features ensure this security level, but you still need to get the certificate from your acquirer.

On top of these prerequisites, make sure to respect the extension structure:

Property Description
worldlinedirectb2ccheckoutaddon Contains the storefront modifications required to facilitate the injection of the Worldline Online Payments Direct payment journeys into the B2C Apparel Storefront Checkout Journey.
worldlinedirectbackoffice Contains Backoffice modifications to facilitate configuration of the plugin.
worldlinedirectcore Contains any data model additions and functional services which use our REST API. Also includes the Java SDK.
worldlinedirectcustomersupportbackoffice Contains modifications to the Customer Support Backoffice perspective which allow a Customer Support agent to manually capture or refund a transaction.
worldlinedirectfulfillmentprocess Contains modifications to the Out of the Box SAP Commerce order fulfillment Business Process. It allows you to control whether the system waits for a transaction to be authorised/captured before delivering the goods/services to your customers.
worldlinedirectocc Contains enhancements to the Omni Commerce Connect REST APIs included with SAP Commerce: You can process payments from a headless storefront or mobile app.
worldlinedirectwebhook Contains an endpoint for transaction status updates from our platform via webhooks.

This installation process applies to either:

  • a brand-new project with a standard.
  • out of the box accelerator storefront.
  • an existing project with its own storefront extension based on yacceleratorstorefront.

Once done, follow these steps:

1. Install SAP Commerce using ‘cx’ Recipe

SAP provides instructions for using the installation recipes in the SAP Help Portal. If you are unfamiliar with the general installation process, make sure to read through this before the installation.

You will require an existing installation of SAP Commerce to use the plugin. If you already have an installation of SAP Commerce with the B2C Accelerator and its corresponding extensions included, skip this step.

  • Download SAP Commerce in .Zip format. Unzip the platform and navigate to the ‘installer’ directory.
  • Run the following command: Replace ‘your_password’ with your desired administrator password for the system.
./install.sh -r cx -A local_property:initialpassword.admin=your_password
  • Run the following to build and initialise the system:
./install.sh -r cx initialize -A local_property:initialpassword.admin=your_password
hybris/
           config/
bin/
custom/
worldline/
  • The config directory contains a sample set of configurations in the local.properties file. Copy these configurations into the local.properties file generated after the SAP Commerce installation.
  • The config directory also contains a localextensions.xml file. Add the following from this file to your own localextensions.xml file that was generated after the SAP Commerce installation:

<!-- WORLDLINE -->
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/worldlinedirectcore"/>
You will require an existing installation of SAP Commerce in order to be able to use the Worldline Direct
plugin. If you already have an installation of SAP Commerce with the B2C Accelerator and its
corresponding extensions included, you can skip this step.
Worldline – SAP Commerce Cloud Documentation
Technical Documentation – 9
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/
worldlinedirectb2ccheckoutaddon"/>
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/worldlinedirectbackoffice"/>
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/worldlinedirectocc"/>
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/worldlinedirectwebhook"/>
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/
worldlinedirectcustomersupportbackoffice"/>
<extension dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/worldline/
worldlinedirectfulfilmentprocess"/>

You should examine each extension’s extensioninfo.xml file (contained within the root of each extension’s directory) to ensure the extensions mentioned within each <requires-extension> tag are included in your localextensions.xml.

  • The bin/custom/worldline directory contains all required extensions. Copy them into your own hybris/bin/custom/worldline directory. If you wish to put these extensions in a different directory, update your localextensions.xml accordingly.

2. Install Extension to Storefront

  • You may need to run the following command to ensure the correct addons are available in your storefront:


  
   ant addoninstall
   
-Daddonnames=
"adaptivesearchsamplesaddon,assistedservicecustomerinterestsaddon,assistedserviceprom
otionaddon,assistedservicestorefront,assistedserviceyprofileaddon,captchaaddon,config
urablebundleaddon,consignmenttrackingaddon,customercouponaddon,customercouponsamplesa
ddon,customerinterestsaddon,customerticketingaddon,eventtrackingwsaddon,merchandising

esamplesaddon,xyformssamples,xyformsstorefrontcommons,ysapproductconfigaddon"
-DaddonStorefront.yacceleratorstorefront="<YOUR-STOREFRONT>"


Replace <YOUR-STOREFRONT> with your storefront extension’s name, e.g. yacceleratorstorefront or <project>storefront

To run the ant commands below, you will need to run . ./setantenv.sh or its Windows equivalent within the hybris/bin/platform directory.

  • Install the Addon to your Storefront, use the following command:
ant addoninstall -Daddonnames="worldlinedirectb2ccheckoutaddon"
-DaddonStorefront.yacceleratorstorefront="<YOUR-STOREFRONT>"
  • Now rebuild your system:
ant clean all
  • Perform either an initialisation or system update. You can do both via the Hybris Administration Console (HAC) at https://<your-server>:9002/hac or you can initialize this via the ant target:
ant initialize


Configuration

After the installation, you need to configure the plugin to link your store to our platform.

This section of the documentation will cover technical configuration elements only. For business configuration within the SAP Backoffice, check this section.

Configure properties

  • From worldlinedirectcore/project.properties :
worldline.direct.api.authorizationType=V1HMAC
worldline.direct.api.connectTimeout=10000
worldline.direct.api.socketTimeout=10000
worldline.direct.api.maxConnections=10
worldline.direct.api.integrator=Worldline


The Java SDK passes these configurations and controls the connectivity. Have a look at our dedicated Java SDK documentation for more information.

  • From worldlinedirectbackoffice/project.properties:
worldline.contact.support.default.cc=
worldline.contact.support.default.bcc=
worldline.contact.support.default.subject=default subject


These configurations control the button within the SAP Back Office which is used to contact us for support via email.

  • From worldlinedirectocc/project.properties:
worldline.occ.hostedCheckout.returnUrl=https://localhost:9002/occ/v2/%s/users/%s/orders/%s/hostedcheckout
worldline.occ.hostedTokenization.returnUrl=https://localhost:9002/occ/v2/%s/users/%s/orders/%s/hostedtokenization/return3ds


These configurations set the value for the Server API’s property HostedCheckoutSpecificInput.ReturnUrl to ensure your customers correct redirection to your webshop environment. It is important to update these values to reflect your system’s URL.

Configure Webhooks

The plugin uses webhooks to get the current status of your transactions from our platform. SAP Commerce uses the endpoint /worldline/webhook to receive these status updates.

Configure a WebhooksKey, WebhooksKeySecret and Endpoint URLs in your PSPID as described in our dedicated guide. Make sure the URL:

  • Contains your site’s hostname '(i.e. https://<your-domain>:9002/worldline/webhook)'
  • Has a valid SSL certificate

Configure SAP

The following steps cover the configuration process of the SAP Commerce Backoffice tool. For general information about the SAP Commerce Backoffice, refer to the Business User guides in the SAP Help Portal.

After the successful installation, the SAP Backoffice contains a new item type “Worldline Configuration”. Follow these steps to link your Base Store in SAP Commerce to our platform:

  • Login to the SAP Commerce Backoffice via the default URL https://<hostname>:9002/backoffice. Default administrator credentials will have been defined during installation or provided to you separately.

Go to Worldline > Worldline Configuration. Click on the “+” – symbol in the taskbar.
