Table of Contents

Configuration

First install the WiPay for Commerce extension from our package manager.

Next go to Extras > Commerce > Configuration > Modules and enable the “WiPay” module in both modes.

Now you can navigate to Configuration > Payments to create a new payment method. Select WiPay in the list of gateways, provide a name and enable the payment method on the availability tab. Save.

In the WiPay tab, provide the Developer ID and Merchant Key for your account.

  • For test payments, check “Sandbox” and use 1 for the Developer ID and 123 for the Merchant Key.
  • For live payments, you may find your credentials in the WiPay dashboard under “Developer”.

Special considerations

  1. This gateway requires friendly URLs to be used. That has to do with a bug in the WiPay system where it incorrectly appends values to the return url. If you do not use friendly URLs in MODX, that will cause customer returns to go to your error page rather than the checkout.

  2. WiPay requires a phone number. The implementation will check both the phone and mobile values on the billing address, and refuse to redirect when it has no value. Make sure to set up the Basic Address Validation module so that your customer is required to enter a phone number.
