Onboarding

The onboarding process takes place mainly on Verestro side. However, in order to perform onboarding, the Merchant must provide some information needed to correctly configure account in Merchant Paytool Server. Configuration includes following information:

  • Merchant name – Basically, it's the name of the Merchant shop, company and so on. The following parameter will be displayed to the user in Merchant Paytool form.

  • Description – information about Mechant. The following parameter will be displayed to the user in Merchant Paytool form.

  • Redirect URL’s - Those are the addresses to which user will be redirected after a successful or unsuccessful transaction. These parameters can be static (added to the Client's account configuration) or sent in the order initiating the transaction.

  • Postback URL - This is the address to which information will be send to the Merchant about the transaction made by a given user. This parameter is not required if the Merchant does not want to receive notifications regarding the transaction. For more information about Postback URL please check "Use cases" chapter.

  • Notification to the User - It is a flag that defines whether e-mail notifications was sent to the User. Such e-mail contains the transaction status, transaction execution date, transaction identifier, date and amount.

  • Term of use and privacy notes URL – addresses where the Merchant stores above-mentioned documents

  • Merchant's pictures – These are image that could be, for example, the Merchant's logo. They will be posted as requested by Merchant in the Merchant Paytool webview. This point is optional. If the Merchant does not provide such pictures, the Merchant Paytool will be shown with it's default appearance – find in the “User flow” chapter.

After creating an account for the Merchant, Verestro provides all necessary data for Merchant which allow to use the solution.. Such data includes:

  • api key – value that defines a Merchant in the context of donation process offered by Verestro. The value api-key should be send by the Merchantr in every request - Verestro system maps the request with the proper Merchant's account. Technical information about the api-key can be found here.

  • basic authorization - it is the login and password of the Merchant account in the Verestro system. Basic authorization is needed if the Merchant wants to download transaction data via the "get transaction details" method.

The Merchant must also have to create an account in the Acquirer's system which settles transactions. Such an account is defined by the MID parameter (to find out what MID is, see the "Terminology" chapter). This is a very important parameter as it is required for payment processing. This parameter, together with it's authorization data, can be provided to Verestro by both the Merchant and Acquirer. Verestro offers support in creating such an account in Acquirer system if it has integration with a given Acquirer. If the client requires transactions to be processed with the participation of a new Acquirer, then Verestro must perform a new integration. The client is then responsible for providing the documentation that Verestro will use during the integration. For more information about integration see "Technical documentation" chapter.

The solution allows to assign one terminal to Merchant account. If the Merchant wants to operate several terminals, it requires the creation of additional Merchant accounts (account per terminal) or development on the Verestro side that will handle such a requirement.
