Make it work on localhost

In order to make the plugin work on localhost for testing purposes, change these 3 lines in SCMechantClient.php createOrder() function:

'callbackUrl' => $request->getCallbackUrl(),
'successUrl' => $request->getSuccessUrl(),
'failureUrl' => $request->getFailureUrl()

To

'callbackUrl' => 'http://localhost.com',
'successUrl' => 'http://localhost.com',
'failureUrl' => 'http://localhost.com'

Don't forget to change it back when migrating website to public.
