I don't understand how to pass values to my relay-response page after the transaction is complete.
I am using DPM. When the client submits the payment form it goes to the authorize.net server. The server successfully returns the result to my 'x- relay_url' and I can parse, display or act on the data. When displayed the address line indicates it is from the authorize.net server as expected.
Instead of showing the result, however, I want to display our own meaningful receipt page, or a decline/error page, as appropriate, after the transaction, using a redirect. I have created a test receipt and I can save the transaction results in a database (apparently necessary) before the redirect, but how do I send a key that refers to the database record , or any other result? In my tests nothing on my response page, and no information from the transaction response, is sent to the new page in the redirect.
I have seen many posts instructing to send a transaction reference in the redirect in order to connect to the database record and thereby enable a meaningful receipt, but no explanation as to how to accomplish this within the redirect has been apparent to me.
We are using Coldfusion and the following code is in my x_relay_url page to process the data and send a page referral:
<!--- Post response to data table here --->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<cfoutput>
<html>

I would like to either:
- If result_code = 1, send the invoice number to the referral page in order to retreive the transacton and order information;
- If result_code > 1 send the result_code, result_reason_code and result_reason_text to the referral page in order to explain the problem or error to the client.
Can anyone help me to understand how to accomplish this? Is there a best practices method for transferring data to the custom receipt page?
Thanks,
