  3. The configuration page should look like the one displayed below.

    Plugin Setup

    The Auto Setup Tool pop-up will be displayed automatically, if this is your first time trying to configure the Verifone settings. If you already did the configuration, you can always access the tool as indicated below:

    WC Auto Setup tool

    Account settings

    Enter the below information, to configure your Verifone account settings.

    WC Account settings

    • Enter the User ID and API Key, then press on Continue. Wait until a success or error message is displayed.

         You can use a Verifone test mode environment to test your integration by clicking on the Sandbox option (for this, you will need to have an account set up in the test environment). If the Sandbox option is selected, you will need to use the information from your test account (user ID, API key).
      If you wish to change the integration environment, you will need to return to this page by clicking the Manage button on the app in your WooCommerce admin, then Auto Setup Tool and update the API Key and User ID associated with the Verifone Account with the ones corresponding to the selected environment.
      • User ID: The ID of the user that generated the API key in Verifone Central. You can find this information in your Verifone Central account, under ProfileAPI Keys.
      • API Key: The value of the API Key you created in Verifone Central, under the user icon > API keys > Create API key.
      • Region: The region in which your Verifone account is created. Check your Verifone Central access URL if in doubt.
    • If the successful message displays, then the configuration is done. We recommend checking all tabs to verify all expected payment methods are enabled and clicking a final time on Update settings.
    • Two failed messages can be displayed:
      • Invalid credentials. Make sure you enter right credential/environment and try again!: You must check if both the API Key and User ID are correctly entered, and the environment is properly chosen. If you are unsure what is your environment, contact your Verifone representative.
      • Account could not be auto-configured, manual configuration is required: Follow the steps from the Manual setup documentation.
