Setting up an account with Optimal Payments.
Once you have created your account with Optimal
Payments the
first thing you will need to do is download the file optimalasp.zip from
our
free downloads page.
The zip file contains two files, customppsend.asp and customppreturn.asp.
These contain all the information you need
for the Optimal
Payments Dynamic Link integration for the ecommerce
templates. Unzip the download and place the two files in your vsadmin/inc/
folder,
overwriting
the existing files - agree to overwrite if prompted.
Make sure you have uploaded these two files to your server and
open your ecommerce template admin payment providers page. Locate
the payment provider listed as "Custom" and click on the Modify
button. Fill in the details as shown below:

In the box Data1 you will need to place your
Optimal Payments Account Number and in Data2 the
merchantId that was sent to you.
IMPORTANT NOTE
For the dynamic link method there are no variables passed back
to the store. This means that no email will be sent out on purchase
so you will need to check your orders admin page to see if there
has been an order at your store. Orders will always been shown
with an authorize button rather than an authorize code. The authorize
code can be viewed in your Optimal Payments admin section - make
sure that the order has been successful before shipping.
Please do read our guide here on credit
card fraud.
That's all there is to it really - any comments on the set up can
be posted on our Support Forum.
