Before you start your integration, please run through this checklist to ensure you have everything that you need.
-
Access To The Merchant Management System (MMS) – please check that you have access to the MMS. A merchant super user will have been automatically created when the account was initially created – the details of this account will have been emailed to the account owner. We recommend that a dedicated MMS User account be created for the developer – this has to be done by the account owner, and can be done from the Account Admin | User Admin page in the MMS. The MMS also has useful resources for the developer, and the transaction reporting section will allow the developer to view any transactions that they process as part of the integration testing. Please note – the MMS User account details are completely separate from the Gateway Account details.
-
Latest Integration Documents – please ensure that you have the latest version of the integration documents, which are available to download from the Support | Downloads section in the MMS.
-
Latest Integration Code Pack – we provide code packs for the most common web languages. For each language, we have written an integration library and a fully functional sample payment form. The sample payment forms have been designed to be reused wholesale with as little modification as possible, but in the event that this is not possible, they demonstrate how to make use of the underlying integration library, and so will still be a valuable resource. We recommend that the latest code pack be used. The code pack can be downloaded from the MMS
-
Test Gateway Account Credentials – on registration a test Gateway Account will have been created automatically. Details of this account would have been emailed to the account owner. Test Gateway Accounts run on exactly the same system as production Gateway Accounts, and are designed to mimic production accounts precisely. We recommend that merchants perform their integrations against their test Gateway Account. Please note – the Gateway Account details are completely separate from the MMS User account details.
-
Additional Account Information – if the Hosted Payment Form or Transparent Redirect integration method is selected, then the developer will require additional account details – namely, the Pre Shared Key, and elected Hash Method. These details can be found in the Account Admin | Account Settings page of the MMS. If you have created your developer their own MMS User account, then they should be able to access these details directly.
-
Test Card Document – a test Gateway Account will only work with the test card numbers detailed in this document (conversely, a production Gateway Account will only work with real card numbers). This document is available to download from the Support | Downloads section of the MMS.
