• The checksum that accompanies each request should be calculated as the HMAC-SHA1 hash of the method name concatenated with all the parameters in order. The terminal password should be used as the key for the hash:

  Shell

  hmac_sha1('TerminalPassword', 'MethodNameParam1Param2Param3')

• Any argument that has the type ‘date’ needs to follow the XML-RPC specified ISO 8601 datetime format:
  <dateTime.iso8601>YYYYMMDDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm<dateTime.iso8601>

• Any transaction amount is represented as its cent value; therefore an integer rather than a decimal.

  • R100.50 is therefore represented as 10050 rand cents.
  • $10.50 is therefore represented as 1050 dollar cents.

• The field optionalData is mandatory but its contents are optional. It accepts an XML-RPC struct, for example:
  

  or:

  postalCode10260
