Merchant Account Setup Instructions
Have your store ready and accepting payments in just a few minutes by following the steps below.
Step 1 - Login to your store's control panel
Start by logging into your store's control panel. If you're not sure of your store's control panel address, check the welcome email which was sent when you created your store.
Step 2 - Go to the checkout settings screen
Click the Settings menu in the top right hand corner of the page and choose the Checkout Settings menu option.
Step 3 - Interspire Secure Payment Gateway settings
On the General tab, click the "I would like to use the Interspire Secure Payment Gateway" radio button. Using the account details which were provided to you when you signed up for Interspire Secure Payment Gateway, enter your account name and password. Click the Save button when you are done.
Step 4 - Place Interspire Secure Payment Gateway into test mode
On the same checkout settings screen, change the Test Mode option to Yes and click the Save button. Interspire Secure Payment Gateway is now in test mode, meaning you can place a test order in your store without a real transaction taking place.
Step 5 - Place an order in your online store
To make sure your Interspire Secure Payment Gateway is configured correctly, place an order in your online store, making sure test mode is setup as per step 4 above. If your order goes through without any problems, then your payment gateway is configured correctly. If you experience an error your payment gateway may be configured incorrectly or not yet setup. Please call 866-941-0284 or email
Step 6 - Place Interspire Secure Payment Gateway into production mode
Start by repeating steps 1-3 if necessary. On the checkout settings screen, change the Test Mode option to No (Recommended) and click the Save button. Interspire Secure Payment Gateway is now in production mode, meaning customers can now place orders through your online store using their credit cards.
Congratulations, you can now begin accepting orders!
