Prerequisites

Create an Ogone account which represents the merchant account where the money is transferred during the Web Deposit payment. The e-Commerce module has to be activated for that Ogone account. See the Ogone website for more information.

It is recommended to configure and test Web Deposit at first with a test account. You can obtain this free test account via the Ogone website, which allows the integration of Ogone payment system in a test environment which is identical to the real production environment, but real money is not transferred.

See the Ogone Test Account Creation and Configuration User Guide for more information on the general testing environment and procedures on Ogone platform. Once the integration in the test environment is completed, you can transfer your test account to a production account.

If a payment is initiated through Ogone, the transaction is not performed immediately. The time of the completion depends on the communication between Ogone and the acquirer (e.g. a card holder bank). During this time, Ogone sends notification messages to Web Deposit about the status of the transaction. Therefore, Web Deposit must be installed onto a computer which can be reached from outside the company network with an IP address.

Additionally, the firewalls (open ports) and routers (port forwarding) must be also configured for Ogone notifications. See the Firewall Configuration Guide for more details.
