GoldPay User and Admin Guide

<p> [[http://www.plain-english.com|Plain English Home Page]] </p> <p> [[:how_to|How do I...?]] </p> <h4>Download and Install</h4> <div class="level4"> </div> <h4>Step by Step</h4> <div class="level4"> <ol> <li class="level1"> You'll need a merchant account from BluePay processing.<ol> <li class="level3"> Call Dylan (no, not Bob Dylan!) at BluePay and ask him to set you up with a "Sandbox Account," for testing with GoldPay. Tell him Steven sent you. Dylan's number is (630)300-2363. His turnaround on such requests is usually less than an hour.</li> <li class="level3"> Dylan will try to give you a quote, showing you how much money you can save by switching to BluePay. Let him give you a quote. Don't worry, he's harmless.</li> <li class="level3"> Other processors may be supported in the near future, so stay tuned.</li> </ol> </li> <li class="level1"> Download the GoldPay software from [[http://www.plain-english.com/downloads/goldpay|http://www.plain-english.com/downloads/goldpay]] to a convenient spot on your computer.</li> <li class="level1"> Run the installation program, or just copy the goldpay.exe and goldpayconfig.exe files to a central location like k:\apps\goldpay.</li> <li class="level1"> Run goldpay.exe. The program will recognize that you haven't run the configuration program yet, and will offer to run it for you. Click Yes.</li> <li class="level1"> The choices required for configuration are intuitive and simple. You'll need your Merchant ID and Secret Key, both of which are available on the account configuration page at BluePay.com: <br/> Admin → Accounts → List → click your acct. <br/> Note: your "Account ID" is also called your "Merchant ID."</li> <li class="level1"> Your best bet, by far, is to use copy and paste, especially with the Secret Key, as it is quite long. We store your secret key in the goldpay.ini file in encrypted form. Encryption is what we use… <em>to keep your key secret.</em> <br/> </li> </ol> </div>
