generate merchant reference in payfort payment gateway

Question

I am integrating payfort payment gateway in my android application. I have generate token using rest api https://sbpaymentservices.payfort.com/FortAPI/paymentApi and now I have to pass that token to fort sdk for the transaction.

But Merchant reference also needs to generated to pass into the fort sdk. I can't find anything on how to generate merchant reference as anything not given in the payfort documentation.

I have also talk to the support , they said we have to create merchant reference by our own alogrithm

Can anybody know how to create merchant reference ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated

String device_id = FortSdk.getDeviceId(this);
    Log.e("device_iddd",device_id+"");
    Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("command", "AUTHORIZATION");
    map.put("amount",String.valueOf(1));
    map.put("language", "en");
    map.put("merchant_reference", "r1FANA78-ok00tH0");
    map.put("currency","SAR");
    map.put("customer_name", "bharat");
    map.put("customer_email", "bharat56@gmai.com");
    map.put("order_description", "Description");
    map.put("return_url", "http://faza.fazadigital.com/Faza_WS/payfortReturnPage.php");
    map.put("sdk_token", "441E41CFFF2E49F2E053321E320A4884");

    fortRequest.setRequestMap(map);
    try {
        FortSdk.getInstance().registerCallback(this, fortRequest, FortSdk.ENVIRONMENT.TEST, 10, fortCallback, new FortInterfaces.OnTnxProcessed() {
            @Override
            public void onCancel(Map<String, String> requestParamsMap, Map<String, String> responseMap) {
                showProgress(false);
                for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : responseMap.entrySet()) {
                    String key = entry.getKey();
                    String value = entry.getValue();
                    Log.e("cancel", key + "////////" + value);
                    // do stuff
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onSuccess(Map<String, String> requestParamsMap, Map<String, String> fortResponseMap) {
                for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : fortResponseMap.entrySet()) {
                    String key = entry.getKey();
                    String value = entry.getValue();
                    Log.e("responsee", key + "////////" + value);
                    // do stuff
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Map<String, String> requestParamsMap, Map<String, String> fortResponseMap) {
                for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : fortResponseMap.entrySet()) {
                    String key = entry.getKey();
                    String value = entry.getValue();
                    Log.e("failure", key + "////////" + value);
                    // do stuff
                }
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

I am using previous merchant reference here ...which i have got from somewhere but it gives an error "Duplicate order number" — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:03
Did you checked this one https://testfort.payfort.com/api/ ? — Ready Android, Jan 09 '17 at 13:16
yes..i am following that api..But there is not section about this — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:23
Actually merchant reference and access code are fixed that are generated for the registered user on payfort. This is not an issue with merchant reference. — Ready Android, Jan 09 '17 at 13:29
merchant_identifier and access code are fixed but we have to generate unique merchant reference each time for the particular transaction — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:31
"The merchant_reference algorithm should be implemented from your side not from our side so we can received a new and unique merchant_reference for each time" . this is the answer from support team — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:34
Yes, In my code for purchage command I am passing murchant reference as system current time in milli seconds String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()); — Ready Android, Jan 09 '17 at 13:38
Yeah..that would be great help as i am stuck in this for a very long time — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:40
I get the error message "Token name does not exist" when i pass current time in merchant reference — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:45
You can mail me the sample at tesapp1995@gmail.com whenever you will have time.Thanks — Cqlsys, Jan 09 '17 at 13:47

As in your code you are using merchant_reference as a static value but merchant_refernce should not be static it should be a unique value every time as system current time in milliseconds String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis());

Your merchant identifier and access code value should be same always which are generated at the time of registration at the PayFort. These are on the basis of merchant registration and unique for every registered user.
