Handling relay response using Ruby

Created by Richard Moore, Modified on Wed, 12 Apr, 2023 at 12:02 PM by Richard Moore

The Relay Response sample code below shows how the merchant could respond upon receiving the transaction results from E-xact.  In this Ruby on Rails example, the developer would change each merchant.com placeholder URL to the merchant's absolute URL equivalent.

       Confirmation Number:     <%= h params[:exact_issconf]%>

   <p>
     <% track_url = url_for(:controller=>'orders', :action=>'track', :order_id => params[:x_invoice_num], :only_path=>false %>
     You can track it at <%= link_to track_url, track_url %>
   </p>

 <% end %>

 <% if params[:x_response_code] == '2' %>
   <p>
     Your payment failed.
     Here is your receipt.
   </p>
   <pre>
     <%= h params[:exact_ctr]%>
   </pre>

 <% end %>

 <% if params[:x_response_code] == '3' %>
   <p>
     An error occurred while processing your payment.
     Please try again later.
   </p>

 <% end %>

 <p>
   Return to <a href="http://merchant.com/home">home</a>.
