Miva/R-P-G Setup and Test

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Start by logging to the administration page of your Miva Merchant. Here is how to achieve this depending on your hosting plan:

I. eCommerce Unix plans opened before December 7th, 2005 using MIVA 4:

  • http://yourdomain.com/Merchant2/admin.mvc

II. eCommerce Unix plans opened after December 7th, 2005 using MIVA 5:

  • http://yourdomain.com/mm5/admin.mvc

III. eCommerce Windows plans:

  • http://mivasecure.abac.com/ftpusername/admin.mvc

Note: Please replace yourdomain.com with your actual registered and hosted domain name. Replace ftpusername with your Main FTP Username associated with your hosting plan.

R-P-G Setup:

Step 1:

In Advanced Administration Mode, expand the Stores menu in the left menu bar, then also expand your stores name menu. Then go to the payment configuration menu.

Step 2:

From the Modules list, select R-P-G (Rodopi Payment Gateway), then click on the Update button.

Step 3:

Click on R-P-G (Rodopi Payment Gateway) to complete your Merchant ID and Password, your Charge Methods and Available Payment Methods.
Charge Methods: Your account has two types of authorization methods, an Online and an Offline. The Online method authorizes the credit card when the order is placed and bills that credit card at the same time if it has been approved. Offline on the other hand, only performs the credit card authorization and leaves the actual billing to be done when the order is shipped.
Available Payment Methods: Select the credit cards you wish to be available to your customers to use as payment methods. This is limited by your merchant account. If you are unsure, please contact your merchant account representative at your bank or credit union.
NOTE: Your Merchant ID is assigned to you by Aplus.Net after you send your merchant account information to us. If you have not received your Merchant ID, please contact your sales representative. In order to submit your Merchant Account information to us, please fill out the RPG Setup Information Sheet.

Testing R-P-G:

Step 1:

In Advanced Administration Mode, expand the Stores menu in the left menu bar, and then also expand your stores name menu. Then, go to the payment configuration menu.

Step 2:

After Payment Configuration is selected, on the right pane window you will see a list of Payment Modules. Please ensure that R-P-G (Rodopi Payment Gateway) has a check in the box next to it; then select the hyperlink at the top next to Modules titled R-P-G (Rodopi Payment Gateway).

Step 3:

Make sure that the box next to Test Mode is un-checked to de-activate the test environment. NOTE: MIVA's test mode cannot currently be used with RPG, and tests attempted in Test Mode will always return an error: "Unable to authorize payment". However, you can use the test credit cards listed below to test your store "live".

Step 4:

You can now visit your newly created store and try to purchase a product using any of the test credit cards listed below. Please ensure that the product you are purchasing during your test is below $100.00. Your test result will be positive if the error returned is "Unable to authorize payment: HARDDECLINED:Decline". (This means that the request has been processed by the gateway and transmitted to the financial institution, but declined as an invalid card number).

Below you will find some test credit card numbers. These are always accepted by most of the payment gateways with Miva Merchant:

American Express

341-1111-1111-1111

15 Digits total

 

378-2822-4631-0005

16 Digits total

 

5555-5555-5555-4444

Visa

NOTE: When testing your store with the above test credit cards, you can use any expiration date, as long as it is past the month and year of the current test transaction.
