On this page will be discussed the below topics:
What is the Bluesnap section under Payment?
This section enables users to create Merchant Accounts without the need to contact Bluesnap or access the Bluesnap account and dashboard.
Note that once the CRM form has been filled with all the details of the new merchant account, and click on the CREATE button, these details are automatically sent to Bluesnap, which is going to analyze the request.
At the end of Bluesnap analysis, two scenarios are possible:
The new account has been approved: the account will appear as ACTIVE
The new account has been declined: in this case, unfortunately, there is nothing else the user can do about it because account already created cannot be modified.
Once the Merchant account has been created, this can be found in the Providers section where the Banking Team can easily add the new MID into the Bluesnap provider.
Each one of these accounts will be then included in the campaigns to allow customers to process payments and consequently place orders.
How to create a Bluesnap Merchant account
Fill in all the details requested in each one of the subsections of the Bluesnap Account.
Once the account has been created and saved, users will not be to edit it anymore - if you have any more questions about this matter, please contact DFO Banking team.
As accounts can no longer be edited, a message is displayed at the top of each account page (see below example):
Please note that at this very moment, only USA Bluesnap Merchant account can be created, other countries have not been enabled yet.
Business Account Info
The Partner Account field
DFO has registered with Bluesnap 3 accounts. For each account, the price charged by Bluesnap, to have and use the account, is different as per below price tiers:
Partner account | Partner tier % |
|---|---|
DFO0000003 | 0,5 |
DFO0000004 | 1 |
DFO0000005 | 1,5 |
Merchant Credentials
It has to be noted that this section is visible ONLY after Bluesnap has approved the new merchant account created. Therefore, the account, in which this section is available, are the ones labeled as ACTIVE on the Bluesnap section (see the image example below)
The reason behind that is because on this section are provided the account credentials such as:
Merchant ID is the one assigned by the merchant and the one included in the IPN
Username is a necessary requirement to create a new merchant account, for this reason, if the user doesn’t provide it while filling the form, the merchant itself will assign it.
Password is a necessary requirement to create a new merchant account, for this reason, if the user doesn’t provide it while filling the form, the merchant itself will assign it.
Data Protection Key is used to maintain the security of the checkout page if you're encrypting parameters or using Virtual Terminal/Payment Link.
The Username and Password are crucial because they are the details that users will include on the MIDs and PRN code in order to effectively enable the payment providers when added into a campaign.
Bank Details
Ownership Details
This section is just optional to be filled because Bluesnap accepts ONLY details of owners that own 25 % or more of the company that is creating the new account. In case there are no owners with such amount then the user has to include the Representative of the company in the next subsection, called Company (Representative) Details.
Additionally, please note that all details requested on this section are details of the owner and not the company, for example in the Address field is the owner’s address that has to be included and not the company one.
Company (Representative) Details
The company (in this case DFO) has to have a representative, which details need to be displayed inside each Bluesnap merchant account created.
The representative is the person that can sign the account documents on behalf of the company.
