The WorldPay payment option lets customers pay you using a credit card or debit card.
Setting up WorldPay in your shop
You can set up Worldpay payment by clicking Payment in the shop admin panel menu, clicking Worldpay, and changing the following settings:
Status
Whether Worldpay is available as a payment method.
Mode
Whether to perform test payments or live payments. Worldpay require one of their staff members to make a payment in test mode before allowing you to go live.
Installation ID
Your Worldpay installation ID. If you have an existing Worldpay account that is used on another site then you will need to ask Worldpay for an additional installation ID — otherwise your other site will stop receiving payment notifications when you set up the installation for this site.
Payment response password
This is a secret value used to ensure the security of communications with Worldpay. A random value is automatically filled in for you.
MD5 secret
This is a secret value used to ensure the security of communications with Worldpay. A random value is automatically filled in for you.
Transaction type
Set to Default to take the funds from the customer as soon as possible. Set to Full (A) to guarantee the availability of funds for 6 days and allow funds to be taken up to 30 days after the initial transaction. Set to Pre (E) to check the customer details only; this does not guarantee the funds are available, but allows funds to be taken in stages and up to 90 days after the initial transaction.
Logging in to your Worldpay account
To log in to your Worldpay account, go to the Worldpay Business Manager and enter your username and password.
Configuring your Worldpay account
Once you have logged in, click the Setup link in the menu on the left. This will bring up a list of installations. The two gear icons allow you to configure settings for your test and production environments. Click on the gear icon under TEST. Change the settings to the following values (settings not in this list can be left unchanged):

Ensure the payment response URL is entered exactly as shown above — otherwise your shop will not be informed when the customer has paid.
After configuring your test environment, go back to the test environment configuration page and click Copy to Production at the bottom of the page, and then click Copy to Production again on the confirmation page.
Testing and going live
Before going live, Worldpay require that your site complies with their requirements. In addition, a member of the Worldpay staff must perform a test transaction to verify that Worldpay is integrated correctly.
To perform the test purchase, first ensure that Worldpay is set to test mode on the Worldpay page in the shop management panel. Go through the process of making a purchase from your shop, exactly as if you were a normal customer, choosing Worldpay as the payment method. You will be taken to the Worldpay test server to make a payment. The test server only accepts the following card numbers:
Card type | Card number | Issue number |

If the test transaction is successful, you will be taken back to your shop and receive an e-mail confirming the transaction. After a successful test transaction, you can request activation by logging in to your Worldpay account, going to the Setup page, and clicking on the tick icon under Start trading. On the resulting page, you can provide instructions for the Worldpay staff member who will test your site.
After a Worldpay staff member has successfully made a test transaction and set your installation live, you can switch to live mode on the Worldpay page in the shop management panel. At this stage you may wish to make a real purchase from your shop and then void the transaction, in order to be completely certain that your account has gone live correctly.
