In a Catch-22 situation where SagePay won't approve a merchant account for client unless we have a working dev site for them to test a transaction on which is set up to integrate with … SagePay.

Anyway, have set up a CartThrob install using Twitter bootstrap to keep things simple with the gateway at checkout set to 'SagePay Europe Offsite (Server)'. However, on checkout I get the following error message:

Error
<url> malformed (3)

Not sure how to troubleshoot or debug. My immediate guess is that the vendor name (which I don't yet have as the merchant account is pending approval) is required for sending a user to SagePay during checkout. Is that correct?

Reset to default

For the Merchant Service application - a working Test or Live wesbite is required so that the merchant bank, Elavon, can simulate the check out process up to the payment page. This does not need to be integrated with Sage Pay at this point.

have you configured your extload.php file to show where your system folder is / is called? That is the file used for the callback url.

  • this is defaulting to 'system' which is the path in use

  • And is system above or below the webroot? Also, how are you defining your gateway choice? In the checkout tag or in the Cartthrob settings? You may have changed it in one place and it's getting overridden elsewhere.
