Here is a step by step guide to getting Yoco enabled as a VerPay payment method:
Step 1: Log into you Yoco merchant account at https://portal.yoco.co.za/
Step 2: Click on the “Sell Online” menu option
Step 3: Select “Payment Gateway” as submenu option underSell Online on the Payment Gateway page you will see the Your Keys section.[For the initial setup and testing of VerPay with Yoco, we suggest using the Test keys – which can easily be copied to the clipboard using the Copy to Clipboard icons – those in the red circles below.]
Step 4: Navigate to Payment Methods menu option of the VerPay Merchant app, and the select Yoco as payment method. You will then be able to paste the Test Public Key and Test Secret Key into their respective input boxes on the VerPay Payment Method for Yoco configuration page, as shown below.
Step 5: Click on the switch next to Active to turn Yoco on as VerPay payment method.
Step 6: Make a note of the Yoco test card number, which is 4111 1111 1111 1111 with expiry dates 12/25 and CVV of 123, for testing the Yoco payment method.
Step 7: Switch VerPay from Demo to Live mode by clicking on the User icon, top right
Step 8: Set up your default payment Terms and Conditions. This is important for conducting verbal commerce and avoiding disputes later. The focus should be on how refunds and cancellations are dealt with. It is important to keep the terms and conditions as concise and simple to understand as possible.
E.g. No refunds permitted once an order has been confirmed and placed on the kitchen. Orders that are not collected within 120 minutes without prior arrangement will have to be destroyed.
Click on the VerPay Merchant app’s Terms and Condition menu option, where you can set up one or more Terms and Conditions. You must select one of the Ts&Cs to become the default terms, which is extended by default when accepting payment.
Step 9: If you plan to have other members of staff use VerPay to collect payments, you need to invite them by clicking on the Users menu option on the VerPay Merchant app.
A Manager may invite more User level staff to register for VerPay and may also edit the Ts&Cs. A User can log in and Accept Payments, but can’t edit Ts&Cs nor invite other members of staff. The Owner is the only person who may edit payment methods, Ts&Cs as well as invite Managers and Users with full access to the VerPay Dashboard and Payment History.
Step 10: Once you have tested a number of payments using the YoCo Test Keys, it will be time to replace the Test Keys with the Yoco Live keys per Step 3 and 4 above. Once done, best to test the live Keys with a small amount, say R2.00. When that works you are ready to start accepting payments from real customers!
