From Zero to Transactions: A Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Ready to accept payments? Let’s get the PayFast payment addon installed and configured. First, download the addon from AyeCode Ltd. Then, within your system’s administration panel, navigate to the plugins section. Click ‘Add New’ and then ‘Upload Plugin.’ Select the downloaded zip file and activate the addon.

Next, go to the payment gateway settings area. You’ll need your Merchant ID and Merchant Key from your PayFast account. Enter these details carefully. Choose your preferred currency; ensure it matches your PayFast account settings. Select whether you want to run payments in ‘sandbox’ mode for testing or live mode for real transactions.

Testing is crucial. Use the sandbox mode to simulate transactions. Create a small test payment to ensure funds are correctly routed. Check your PayFast dashboard to confirm the test payment was processed. If you encounter issues, double-check your Merchant ID, Merchant Key, and currency settings. Also, consult the troubleshooting section in the next chapter for common fixes.

Once testing is complete, switch to live mode to start accepting real payments. Remember to keep your Merchant ID and Key secure. Congratulations, you are now ready to process transactions!

Troubleshooting: When Things Go South (and How to Fix Them)

Even with a smooth setup, occasional issues can arise. Payment failures are a common concern. Double-check your merchant ID and key. Ensure they are correctly entered within the addon’s settings. Incorrect details will prevent successful transactions.

Configuration errors can also cause problems. Review all settings in the payment gateway section. Verify the currency, supported payment methods, and notification URLs are configured correctly. Consult the official PayFast documentation and the documentation of the GetPaid PayFast Payments addon from AyeCode Ltd for the correct settings.

Plugin conflicts might also interfere. Deactivate other plugins temporarily to isolate the cause. If the payment gateway functions correctly after deactivating a plugin, there is a conflict. Consider finding an alternative plugin or contacting the developers of both plugins for assistance.

For more complex issues, review the system logs. Error messages often provide clues about the problem. Look for entries related to the payment gateway or the addon. If you need extra help, visit AyeCode Ltd’s support channels for more troubleshooting steps and FAQs.
