WooCommerce Boarding Guide

Modified on Thu, 23 Feb 2023 at 02:47 PM

Overview

  • WooCommerce is a third party plugin that turns your WordPress site into an eCommerce store.

  • Skyverge’s WooCommerce plugin uses Cybersource’s Flex Microform payment form, ensuring your page meets SAQ A PCI compliance whilst also providing a seamless checkout for your customers.

  • It uses ‘hosted fields’ to process payments, meaning that sensitive payment data is never handled by your business servers. Instead, the data is sent directly to CyberSource.


Before You Start

Before you attempt to set up the integration, please ensure you have/are using the following:

  • From Live Payments:

    • Registration for an ‘eCommerce / ISV’ account

      • If you are unsure whether your account is properly configured to support Cybersource integrations, please contact help@livepayments.com or call 1300 780 788. Be sure to mention that you are seeking to install the Cybersource Skyverge WooCommerce plugin.

    • Your ‘ISV Configuration Kit’ for the Skyverge WooCommerce plugin.

      • You should have received this from the Live Payments CS/applications team shortly after you applied for the integration. This kit will contain key information required for a successful configuration.

      • If you have not received this, please contact customer support to obtain one. You can kick start this process by emailing help@livepayments.com with the email title ‘Request for CBS Woo ISV Configuration Kit’

    • A Valid Skyverge plugin License

      • This should have been allocated to the email address associated with your Wordpress account. If you sign in to your WooCommerce > Subscriptions dashboard, you should be able to see'Cybersource Payment Gateway' in there as an active subscription.


      • If you have not received this, please contact help@livepayments.com with the email title ‘Skyverge WooCommerce Licence Required’

  • WooCommerce 4.3+

  • WordPress 5.2+

  • PHP 7.0+ (check this at WooCommerce > Status)

  • A valid SSL certificate for your website

 

Installation Guide

Step 1. Install the Skyverge WooCommerce plugin.

  1. Ensure your store meets the plugin requirements.

  2. Download the extension from your WooCommerce dashboard.



  3. Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and select the ZIP file you just downloaded.

  4. Click Install Now and then Activate.
    If the installation was successful, you should be able to see it in Wordpress > WooCommerce > Plugins with an option to ‘Deactivate’ it. This means it is ‘active’.

  • Note: If you see an option to ‘activate’ it, this means the plugin is currently deactivated. So, go ahead and click ‘activate’.

Step 2. Configure the Skyverge Woo Plugin

2.2) Navigate to the configuration page of your Skyverge WooCommerce plugin.

Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Locate the Skyverge Woo Plugin (Note: It may have a different name) > Manage

  • Please note: At the time of writing, your account cannot support ‘Cybersource eCheck’ or ‘Cybersource Visa Checkout’. If these options are appearing for you, please ensure they are toggled to ‘disabled’
