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.

Change the settings to the following values (settings not in this list can be left unchanged):

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 for the pay button. Click the button to be taken to the Worldpay test server to make a payment. The test server only accepts the following card numbers:

If the test transaction is successful, you will receive an e-mail from Worldpay 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 pay button. At this stage you may wish to make a real purchase using the pay button and then void the transaction, in order to be completely certain that your account has gone live correctly.
