Sage Pay (formerly Protx) VSP Direct Settings

Overview

ShopSite merchants in the UK can use the Sage Pay (formerly Protx) VSP Direct payment gateway to process online payments in real-time. When a customer places an order on a Sage Pay-enabled ShopSite store, ShopSite will automatically forward the billing information to Sage Pay and authorize the funds in real-time before displaying the receipt. If funds are not available, or the billing information is invalid, the order will not be completed, and the customer will be notified of the problem.

Using Sage Pay real-time payment processing can protect you by complying with PCI Security requirements. Because the payment information is immediately sent directly to Protx, you do not have to store credit card information on your server (See Credit Card Storage for details).

If you are like most merchants and need a little time to prepare an order before shipping it, you can have ShopSite authorize the funds in real-time, then wait for you to go to the Orders screen in the ShopSite back office and click the button to Bill Orders to settle the transaction and transfer the funds into your account. If you are selling digital download products, or can ship the order immediately, you may have Sage Pay automatically settle the transaction (usually the next morning) after the funds are authorized. You will usually see the funds appear in your account within a few days of settling the transaction.

To get started, go to the Sage Pay website and sign up for a VSP Direct account.

Configuration

After you have an active Sage Pay VSP Direct account, you can configure your ShopSite store to process orders in real-time using Sage Pay:

Host Select which server to use for payment processing. When you first configure ShopSite to process payments using Sage Pay, it is a good idea to run a few test transactions using the testing server before switching to the live server.
Note:
When using the testing server, you can not test using 3D Secure enabled cards. Testing of 3D Secure enabled cards is only possible by running a transaction on the live server.
Port (Read Only) The port ShopSite uses to connect to the Sage Pay server.
Order Path (Read Only) The path on the Sage Pay server to the order processing application.
3D Secure Callback Path (Read Only) The path on the Sage Pay server to the callback (order verification) application.
Bill Path (Read Only) The path on the Sage Pay server to the billing application.
Vendor Login Name Enter your Sage Pay account login name.

Transaction settings
Order Transaction Type Select the transaction type to use when an order is initially placed:
  • Payment - This option authorizes the fund transfer immediately and settles the transaction automatically (usually early the next morning). This option is good for merchants who sell digital download products or are ready to ship orders immediately.
  • Deferred - This option authorizes the fund transfer immediately, but does not settle the transaction until you manually release the funds. This option is good for merchants who need time to prepare orders for shipment, so they can be sure the order has shipped before collecting payment.
Billing Transaction Type (Read Only) The Release billing transaction type is used to manually settle a transaction after shipping a Deferred transaction order.
Order Description (Required) Enter a descriptive name or leave the default text (ShopSite Order) to identify shopsite orders in your Sage Pay account.
Display CVV2 Entry Box Check this box to have ShopSite display a CVV2 number entry box on the Billing Information screen.
Require CVV2 Entry Check this box if you want ShopSite to require customers to enter a CVV2 number.
Display Error Details Check this box if you want ShopSite to display detailed information about error messages received during a transaction. You should usually only select this option if you are having problems completing transactions and need more detailed information about the problem.

Credit Cards
Supported cards and other payment types Select which credit cards you want to accept payments from. If you are using a real-time payment gateway, you should check to see what cards your gateway accepts, and what the fees for those cards are. Check the box beside the card name to accept payment from that card. You can select any (or all) of the following:
  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • Discover
  • American Express
  • Diner's Club/Carte Blanche
CVV2 Help Text Enter the text to be used for the CVV2 Help Link. If your credit card processor is configured to include a CVV2 field with the payment information, this text will be displayed as a link beside the field.
CVV2 Help URL This is the URL to be used for the CVV2 Help Link. When a customer clicks the link beside the CVV2 field, a new window will open to this URL. You can use the default URL or you can create your own page explaining what a CVV2 is and where to find it on a credit card.
