Protx VSP Server Configuration

Follow Four Simple Steps to Configure Protx

Bluepark's ecommerce software packages support the acclaimed Protx VSP Server credit card processor for receiving payments online. Simply follow these four simple steps to begin using this solution.

Step 1:

Select Configuration
from the Site menu

Step 1: Access your secure Administration Console by entering your Username and Password. Once you have gained access, select Configuraton from the Site menu.

Step 2:

Select Protx VSP Server
on the Payment tab

Step 2: On the Payment tab, select Protx VSP Server from the Credit Card Processor field. Once this is selected, click the Save button (the floppy disk icon) at the top-right of the page. The Protx VSP Server tab will then appear directly to the right of the Payment tab.

Step 3:

Complete required fields on
the Protx VSP Server tab

Step 3: On the Protx VSP Server tab, select the required Mode that will be used for sending transactions to Protx. Initially, you will need to use Test mode before Protx approves your account to go Live. You will need to enter your Vendor Name in the field provided, which will enable Protx to correctly identify your account.

The Currency can be set to any ISO 4217 currency code, and defaults to GBP. The Description field may contain any text you would like to use to identify your transactions, and is only used for reference purposes.

The Transaction Type defines the way in which you wish to process your customer's credit card details. A Standard payment means that funds will be taken immediately from your customer's credit card. A Deferred payment means that the full amount may be taken at a later date, such as when goods are being despatched. An Authenticated payment is one which can be Authorised at a later date, either for the full amount or with multiple authorisations. The complete list of options is as follows:

Standard Payment
Deferred
Deferred if Can't Ship
Authenticated
Authenticated if Can't Ship

Step 4:

Add your IP Address to
the Protx VSP Console

Step 4: At the bottom of the Protx VSP Server tab, the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the server will be listed. These are used by Protx to ensure that only you are able to process transactions via your Protx account. You will need to access your VSP Admin on Protx's site to enter this required information. Please note that Test and Live modes use different VSP Admin sites:

You should now be ready to begin processing payments using Protx VSP Server.
