Setting Up MivaPay

MivaPay is Miva’s PCI-compliant credit card vault, that works with all major payment gateways supported by Miva. Those gateways include:

• PayPal Payments Pro

• PayPal Payflow Pro

• PayPal Commerce Platform

• Authorize.net

• Chase Paymentech

• Cybersource

• Braintree

MivaPay allows customer cards to be saved on an account level, and an order level, which allows you to issue refunds, add to existing orders, reference past orders and complete orders as needed.

Credit card information is encrypted, saved and tokenized by MivaPay. When a saved card is used again, the token is sent back to MivaPay, the card number is decrypted, and sent over a secure server to the payment gateway for authorization. The response, but not the card number, is sent back to Miva and saved with the order.

MivaPay makes checking out faster, makes PCI compliance easier to manage and allows for merchants to use the Subscription functionality of the Miva admin.

Setting Up MivaPay

Beause MivaPay is part of the Miva admin, there is no module to install. However, there is some set up that must be done before it can be used.

Go to Settings>Payment Settings, and then click the Settings tab.

In the MivaPay Settings section, click the box next to Enabled to enable MivaPay for your site.

Once enabled, you will need the following information:

• Merchant ID

• Secret Key

• Signing Key

All three of those can be found in your my.miva account at my.miva.com.

Once you have the needed information, enter them in the appropriate boxes. When finished, click Update.

Group Payment Card Types into Single Payment Method with Description

Clicking this box changes the way a customers sees the credit card options that are available. If it is unchecked, all of the store's credit card options will appear. If it is checked, the generic term "Credit Card," or whatever phrase or term is entered in that field, will display at checkout.

Configuring Payment Cards

Payment Cards are the card types, linked to MivaPay, that your store accepts as payment. They also establish an individual payment method and determin which Payment Gateway to use.

To begin, from the Payment Settings page, click the Payment Method Rules tab. Then click the More icon (three dots) and select Payment Card Types.

In the window that opens, you will map each card to the MivaPay-supported payment method (Payment Gateway) you choose. The available gateways are the same as listed above.

To edit a Payment Card Type, select a row and click the Edit icon in the Linked Payment Method column.

In the dropdown, select the Payment Gateway and the card type to map to the Payment Card Type. Then click Save Changes.

Repeat the above step for each card type, then close the window.
