Implement Brick Checkout (Retrieving Credit Card Information)

Integrate Brick API (Charging the Credit Card)
The backend script functions as a billing service for the token retrieved by the frontend script.
Testing and setting up a pingback
For testing purposes (to check if forms for getting credit card information are working, and/or if a credit card is to be charged), your merchant area allows you to use these API keys:
4242424242424242
4000000000000002
Additional Information:
Details on the test CVV/CSC values are found on the Documentation page.
From the home page of your merchant account, click on My Projects tab located on the left side of the screen.
On the same project, click on Brick Live Keys and click GET LIVE KEYS, the green button below.
A pop up page appears. Click on PROVIDE YOUR PAYOUT DETAILS AND DOCUMENTS.
On the Payout and Compliance tab, please provide all your documents in order for us to speed up your application approval.
Note:

Yes, Brick has plugins for several shopping carts and we continuously add more, including:
If you do not see a plugin that you use on our list, please email us at support@brickpayments.com so we can add your preferred shopping cart plugin.
When a user makes a payment, we send you an HTTP/HTTPS server-to-server notification communicating their user id and the details of the purchase. We call this notification a pingback.
You can refer to the documentation page for instructions on how to set up a pingback. Upon receiving a pingback and processing the order on your side, we also recommend implementing the Delivery Confirmation API so Brick can track the order status (in case of non-instant delivery) and update users if they inquire about the payment status. Brick can then dispute possible chargebacks.
You can set up custom pingback parameters in My Projects > Settings > Custom Pingback Parameters section. Any custom parameters can be added by specifying their name and value. For elaborate instructions, check out the pingback parameters page.
HTTP request is sent from our servers to your Pingback listener script where we communicate to the details about the payment to your server so it can process the pingback and deliver the product or virtual currency to the according user automatically.
With Email Pingback, an email is sent to the address that you configure once a user pays or completes an offer. Once you receive the email, you should deliver the product manually to the user.
Note:
We highly recommend using HTTP Pingback for an automatic processing of orders.
If there is any third-party provider (e.g. Cloudflare) that routes the traffic to you and your pingback script stopped working, the IP whitelist check in your pingback script may be the reason. In order to resolve this you can do one of the following:
Check the request headers and server variables to see if the original IP of the request is present in another variable or header (e.g. X-Real-IP header). If so, use this variable for IP whitelist checks.
Add IPs of the third party provider into whitelist of IP addresses in pingback script. (not recommended) Remove IP whitelist check from pingback script. Pingback signature check still needs be in place.
Please add the following IP Addresses as authorized IP addresses to access the script:
174.36.92.186
174.36.92.187
174.36.92.192
174.36.96.66
174.37.14.28

We can pay you via the following methods:
The payout can be put on hold for a prescriptive period of time (no less than one month) if we see that you have stopped processing payments. This is to cover any possible chargebacks the users may file. Once the prescriptive period is over, we pay the remaining balance back to you, excluding any refunds or chargebacks that might occur during the prescriptive period.
We can send the payout in USD or EUR, depending on the currency denominated by the bank used for the deposit.
You receive payouts once a month. We can only send payouts twice a month if your monthly revenues are greater than $100,000.
If you are a minor and would like to use our service, kindly ask your parents or legal guardians to accept the payout on your behalf. In compliance with international laws, we require the beneficiary of the payout to be of legal age.
There is a $100 minimum payout threshold. Once the $100 threshold is met, we will automatically send you the payout as long as all compliance documents are submitted and approved.

Please pass as much User Profile API information as possible along with every Charge or Subscription API creation request. This is to ensure that Brick's team of risk analysts and in-house risk scoring system have all the necessary data to score transactions accurately.
