First Data Global Gateway Integration Connect 2.0

[aubreypwd]

Reported by Angel on https://trello.com/c/QJvwo2JQ/, there seems to be some changes happening on FirstData happening around 10/1/14.

This change may have an effect on current systems running this plugin.

Are you aware of a big change to how FirstData is handling transactions that takes place on October 1, 2014? All systems need to be updated to the new version of their gateway by then or will not work. Have you checked out the specifications for the October 1, 2014, changes? I see that the plugin has not been updated since July, so I'm curious if you were aware of this or not. Here is the 2.0 integration guide that must be adhered to by October 1. It effects millions of users:

Hi there,

Just wanted to see if there are any plans to update the plugin for the new version, as most recent version just spins and spins when trying to process payments.

Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the quick response! Let me know when you have that set up, as we'd be interested in helping fund that.

Cheers!

So there is no resolution to this other than to pay you to fix it? Am I reading this correct?

We have a 501C# - Non-Profit we are giving away our services pro bono. I would like it to work for them.

I was raising some money to get time to work on it, but now that I'm working I haven't really had time to update this plugin. I would really love to, but it needs a lot of work.

Do you know specifically what needs work?

From what I see, Gravity Forms uses two variables for Card Date, a month and a year. The plugin is strictly looking for just one entry around line 209

/**
 * set credit card expiration date
 * @param int $date
 * @return object
 */
public function setCreditCardExpiration($date) {
    $this->setPostData('cc_expiry', $date);
    return $this;
}

So if we can hack this to get the variables to pass to G4 I think we will be ok.
