Installation

Installing the Zotapay module

The Module can be installed directly from the Module Catalog and configured in the Module Manager. The configuration of the module requires obtaining the following credentials from Zotapay support:

MerchantID – A merchant unique identifier, used for identification.

MerchantSecretKey – A secret key, used for authentication.

EndpointID – One or more unique endpoint identifiers to use in API requests.

Once you have obtained the aforementioned credentials, and the Zotapay module is installed, open the module configuration page from Improve section->Modules->Module Manager and click on the Configure button in the Zotapay module.

General Configuration

Select the mode: “Live mode” enabled or disabled.

The Zotapay support Team will clarify if they provided live or test credentials. For live credentials, please make sure to enable “Live mode”, otherwise the plugin will not work.

2. Enter the merchant ID and the merchant secret key exactly as they were provided by Zotapay support.

Configure Payment Methods

The Zotapay Support team provided End Points together with the credentials. Payment methods of the Module should be adjusted based on the End Points received.

1. Add new payment method

2. Configure payment method

Status Active/Inactive – This defines if the payment method will be used on the checkout page.

Description – The description stated on the payment method configuration will be shown to the end user on the checkout page.

Endpoint – Enter the end point ID provided by the Zotapay Support Team.

IMPORTANT:

End Point currency must be the same as your shop currency, otherwise the end user will not be able to complete the order.

The Zotapay Support team provides end point numbers with the specified currency. In case you need any corrections in the end points, supported currencies and payment methods, please approach Zotapay support.

Configuration overview

Checkout

Payment Details

All the processed orders are available in the Orders section of the Prestashop backoffice. Orders processed via Zotapay solutions will have an additional section, “Zota Payment Details”.

These contain more detailed information about the order itself:

Zota order ID
Order status
Payment method

In case of a decline, you can find all the reasons for the decline. For credit card payments you can see the card details and the card type used by the end user.

Overpayment and Underpayment Statuses

Some local solutions which Zotapay offers, allows end users to deposit more or less funds than paid for the item.

In order to highlight and track such orders, the Zota module for Prestashop has two additional statuses:

Underpayment – The end user deposited less than the item costs.

Overpayment – The end user deposited more than the item costs.

When the status is either underpayment or overpayment, you are able to see the real paid amount in the Zota payment details section.

Underpayment orders can become an order with payment accepted status or overpayment status. The Zota Module will take care to update statuses accordingly and automatically.
