Website Review

Before you can sell online through your website and let your customers pay with credit card through AlertPay, you will need to go through AlertPay's website review process:

 

1.Login to your AlertPay account and click My Account->Profile->Websites.
2.Click "Add Website" and enter your website details on the next page.
3.Click "Send" to have AlertPay check the site and allow credit card payments from it, if it is accepted.

 

IPN Setup

AShop uses AlertPay's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) system to process orders when they are paid. To make this work you will need to login to your AlertPay account and configure the IPN settings:

 

1.Open the page Business Tolls in your AlertPay account.
2.Click "IPN Setup" in the section labeled "IPN".
3.Enter your Transaction PIN, which is an extra security measure used by AlertPay to make sure only you can access sensitive areas of your account. Click Access to go to the next step.
4.Set "IPN Status" to "Enabled" and "Allow Encrypted Payment Details (EPD)" to "Disabled".
5.Set the "Alert URL" to the URL where your AShop order.php script is located, for example: http://www.yourdomain.com/ashop/order.php
6.Set the "Test Mode" option to "Disabled", unless you want to run some test transactions through your AShop first to make sure the AlertPay payments work.
7.Take note of the IPN Security Code and click "Update" to save the changes.

 

Payment Option

Now you should add an AlertPay payment option to your AShop:

 

1.Login to your AShop admin panel and open the page Configuration->Payment.
2.Add a new payment option with the Payment Gateway set to AlertPay.
3.Enter the email address you use to login to your AlertPay account in the box labeled "Merchant ID".
4.Enter your IPN Security Code in the box labeled "Security Secret".
5.Click Update to save the changes.
