Setting Up Your Test Status

1. An email is received from Opayo for you with your user credentials i.e. Vendor Name and two different passwords; an admin password to access the account, and an encryption password. Log-in to Sagepay and create a user and grant all privileges to this user. This means you now have a Vendor Name and Username.

Tip: You can find the encryption password in Sage Pay under Administrator > Password Details

2. Go into your website Admin > Integrations > Connect > Payment processors > Opayo and enter the supplied details for Vendor Name and Encryption Password and set Payment Type to Payment 

NB This is the usual setting for taking payment immediately, Deferred and Authenticate methods allow payments to be taken at a later date read more on Opayo.

3. Go to Payment Processor Manager and edit the Sagepay payment processor "MODE" to "Test" (which hides this payment processor on the live website and only directs transactions to the test account) and set it to Live.

4. Please now put an order through your website, making sure you use one of the test credit cards.

Tip: you can normally any MM/YY date for the test credit card if none are given.

This creates a real order on your site but the payment is taken from the test card.

You will receive an order confirmation email if the test payment has gone through.

Remember to cancel the order that has been placed and adjust your stock levels afterwards if necessary.

5. Once you have carried out the order, make sure "Test funds" have been credited to your test account, and you are also able to perform a "Test refund".  

To see the payment you normally login via the Live My Sagepay account area using the login details they supply.

You now need to contact Opayo to confirm this has been done and for them to make your account live. 

Putting Through An Order Using A Real Card As An Admin 

6. Once step 5 has been successful, log in to your website Admin >  Payment Processor Manager > Opayo and change the status from "Test" to "Stage". This allows you to put through an order on your site with a real credit card while logged in as admin, so you can see the Opayo option on the checkout page but regular visitors won't be able to see it on the website.

To see the payment you normally login via the Live My Sagepay account area using the login details they supply. 

Remember to perform a refund on the transaction.

Making Opayo Live To Everyone On Checkout

7. Go into Payment Processor Manager > Opayo and change the status from "Stage" to "Live" and Opayo is now available to everyone.
