Beginners - Getting Started
We have put together some information to help beginners get an idea on what Html is, and how easy it is for a first time user to get the concept
on how it all works. We do not promise that you will become an expert quickly, however in regards to setting up your payments through the
Patrasys System, you will get the hang of it within 20 minutes. We have setup an html creator that will allow you to present your orders for
payment and send your customers back to a page you designate on your website.
What is an HTML File?
- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language which basically means a system of linked text.
- An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags
- The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page
- An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension
- An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor
Below we have put together two methods which you can use to send your request to the check out page. The first method is the get method, and
the second the post method. We have tried to explain as much as we can on this page, and believe that you will be able to get this completed
successfully in no time at all. If you need any further support, please email us at support@patrasys.com

GOING LIVE
All new accounts are set on a Test status until fully activated. You can make as many test transactions as you like, however please note
that we delete all test transactions after 2 weeks to keep the transactional data clean. Once the testing is complete, you will then need to
go live. In order to go live, you need to log into your account, and go to the activation page.
The HTML GET method
The HTML GET method simply sends the data you need to process to the server as part of the URL. The information to process is added to the end
of the URL so that the data can be used in a standard URL. This can be used directly in links without any html form being involved. You do not need
to have any knowledge on how this is done, as we have included a GET URL creator below which can easily be learned by a first time user. The
amount of data that can be sent with a URL via the GET is limited. GET is good for short forms (ten or fewer fields with no <TEXTAREA ...> or file
uploads). For Credit card test numbers, you can use: VISA: 4444333322221111 EXPIRY DATE: 11/12 SECURITY CODE: 888
The HTML POST method
POST is the preferred method for sending lengthy form data. When a form is submitted POST the user does not see the form data that was sent.
For example, this is the link form uses POST to submit information to the server:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="https://patrasys-retail.com/11/patraserve.dq">
Mandatory Form Data
In order to send information to our servers via the POST method, you will need to include several field names to the form: The following field
names are mandatory:

Optional Form Data
Below are the optional fields you can send with your payment. The advantage to this is that the client will not have to enter their details twice, if
they are being transferred from a shopping cart. Their details will already have been filled out on the payments form, and all they will have to
do is confirm and pay for their order. It is therefore highly advisable to include these fields along with the mandatory fields if sending the
