Set up your Point of Sale
What is a Point of Sale?
A point of sale (Point of Sale) is the place where you receive payments, such as your eCommerce store. In ePay, your Point of Sale represents the environment where you manage payment settings and configurations.
Configure your Point of Sale
In your ePay account, you can configure various settings related to your Point of Sale, including:
- Selecting which acquirer should be active.
- Enabling or disabling instant capture.
- Managing other payment-related configurations.
When you create an account, a Point of Sale is automatically created.
Test vs. Live Environment
Your test Point of Sale is separate from your live Point of Sale, meaning any changes made in the test environment will not affect your live setup. This allows you to safely experiment with configurations before going live.
Switching Between Live and Test Mode
You can toggle between live and test mode in your ePay account:
- Click the mode switcher in the top right corner of your dashboard.
- Note that you cannot go live until your account has been set to active.
Before accepting real transactions, your account must be activated.
Currently, you need to contact ePay to activate your live account.
