Setting up an account with Optimal Payments.
Once you have created your account with
Optimal Payments the first thing you will need to do
is download the file
optimalasp.zip from our
free downloads page. The zip file contains two
files, customppsend.asp and customppreturn.asp. These
contain all the information you need for the Optimal
Payments Dynamic Link integration for the ecommerce
templates. Unzip the download and place the two files in
your vsadmin/inc/ folder, overwriting the existing files
- agree to overwrite if prompted.
Make sure you have uploaded these two files to your
server and open your ecommerce template admin payment
providers page. Locate the payment provider listed as
"Custom" and click on the Modify button. Fill in the
details as shown below:

In the box Data1 you will need to
place your Optimal Payments Account Number and in
Data2 the merchantId that was sent to
you.
IMPORTANT NOTE
For the dynamic link method there are no
variables passed back to the store. This means that
no email will be sent out on purchase
so you will need to check your orders admin page to see
if there has been an order at your store. Orders will
always been shown with an authorize button rather than
an authorize code. The authorize code can be viewed in
your Optimal Payments admin section - make sure
that the order has been successful before shipping. |
