Configuration fields

Common configuration fields

There are some common fields you must configure for every gateway instance. Review Setting Up Payment Gateways for information about the following common configuration fields and complete your configuration:

• Name

• Use Gateway Test Environment

• Cards Accepted

• Default Authorization Amount : The value of this field must be greater than 0.

• Verify new payment method (optional)

• Verify updated payment method (optional)

Specific configuration fields

In addition to the common fields, the following credentials provided by Opayo must be configured:

• Vendor Name When a merchant account is set up with the Opayo Direct gateway, a vendor name is assigned by the gateway. The vendor name is a mixture of alphanumeric characters without spaces or special characters. The vendor name is sent in the transaction registration post and is used by Opayo Direct gateway to identify the account through which the transaction will be processed. Without this value, the gateway cannot identify the correct account and therefore cannot process transactions.

• User Name The username created for the merchant account when setting it up with the Opayo Direct gateway. This field is used to authenticate your account.

• Password The password was created for the merchant account when setting it up with the Opayo Direct gateway. This field is used to authenticate your account.

Additional Opayo merchant account settings

The following merchant account settings are disabled by default, and cannot be configured through the Opayo console. These settings need to be enabled by Opayo Support.

• Support for Additional Card Types (American Express, Discover)

• Configuration of the merchant account to the desired currency

To enable these settings, make your request through support@Opayo.com .
