Payment Form Advanced Edit
Customized Payment Form
To customize your payment form, log into your merchant account and go to Settings -> Source Keys -> Edit -> Customize Epay Form. You may need to add a source if you haven't already done so. Please do not use your Virtual Terminal (vterm), Sale Form (quicksale), or Recurring Billing (recurring) keys to create a payment form! These keys are already being used by various functions in your merchant console. A list of form fields can be found at the bottom of this page. Example code for the form can be found below. Please keep in mind that not all of these examples will be useful for every merchant. You may need to do further customization once you've added the example code to your form in order to have it function properly. Make sure you've tested your form before you make the link public!
Payment Form via POST
The customer can also post data directly to the payment form. The merchant's website would just need to present the customer with an HTML page containing the following form:
<form action="https://www.usaepay.com/interface/epayform/">
<input type="hidden" name="UMkey" value="[key]">
<input type="hidden" name="UMcommand" value="sale">
<input type="hidden" name="UMamount" value="[amount]">
<input type="hidden" name="UMinvoice" value="[invoice]">
<input type="hidden" name="UMhash" value="[hash]">
<input type="submit" value="Continue to Payment Form">
</form>
Any form fields will be managed by the API. If you create a custom payment form, you must make sure to include a hidden form field for any field you wish to pass through to the API.
If the amount will not be fixed, but will instead be entered manually by the merchant, change the input type from "hidden" to "text" as shown below:
<code html>
<form action="https://www.usaepay.com/interface/epayform/">
<input type="hidden" name="UMkey" value="[key]">
<input type="hidden" name="UMcommand" value="sale">
<input type="text" name="UMamount" value="[amount]">
<input type="hidden" name="UMinvoice" value="[invoice]">
<input type="hidden" name="UMhash" value="[hash]">
<input type="submit" value="Continue to Payment Form">
</form>
</code>

These AVS codes are returned in the UMavsResultCode variable, and serve to provide developers with greater control over the AVS System. Many developers may choose to capture and display the UMavsResult variable instead. The UMavsResult variable contains the meaning of the code, rather than the code itself.
| Code | Alternates | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| YYY | Y, YYA, YYD | Address: Match & 5 Digit Zip: Match |
| NYZ | Z | Address: No Match & 5 Digit Zip: Match |
| YNA | A, YNY | Address: Match & 5 Digit Zip: No Match |

Card ID Result Codes
The following is a list of result codes for the CVV2/CVC2/CID verification system and what each one indicates. These codes are returned in the UMcvv2ResultCode variable and provide developers with greater control over the CVV2 system.

| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| M | Match |
| N | No Match |
| P | Not Processed |
| S | Should be on card but not so indicated |
| U | Issuer Not Certified |
| X | No response from association |
