Set up and configure a Paystack payment gateway instance by using the information in this article.

Prerequisites

Procedure

Perform the following steps to set up and configure a Paystack payment gateway instance in the Zuora tenant:

  1. Click your username in the upper right and navigate to Settings > Payments > Setup Payment Gateway. 
  2. On the Payment Gateways page, click the Configure Gateway Instance tab and scroll to the bottom. 
  3. On the Configure Gateway Instance tab, select the payment gateway from the Gateway Type drop-down.
  4. From the Gateway Type list, select Paystack and click Create Gateway.
  5. Click Create Gateway.
  6. In the New Gateway page, specify values for the configuration fields. See below for more information on the fields. Note that not all the configuration fields support the vertical line character "|". For password fields, if your gateway assigns a password containing this character, Zuora will display a validation error. To resolve this issue, contact your gateway provider to request a new password without the unsupported character.
  7. Under Basic Information, in the Name field, enter a name for the gateway instance.
  8. Enable the Use Gateway test Environment checkbox to use the payment gateway's test service URL when setting up the payment gateway integration. 
  9. Under Credentials, in the Secret Key field, enter the secret key issued by the Paystack payment gateway. 
  10. Under Rules, for the Cards Accepted field, select the cards you want to accept. Make sure your gateway's merchant account is also configured to support the same cards you have configured in Zuora. If you submit a transaction for a card type that is not enabled in your merchant account, it will result in an error stating that CardType is not supported or that you are not signed up for that tender type.
  11. In the Default Authorization Amount field, specify the minimum default amount used to authorize or validate a payment. The default value of this field is 1. 
  12. Enable the Verify new payment method checkbox to verify the payment methods when creating them. By default, this checkbox is selected. For tokenized payment methods, you must validate them in Zuora so that payments made with these payment methods are successful.
  13. Enable the Verify updated payment method checkbox to verify the payment methods when updating them. By default, this checkbox is selected. For tokenized payment methods, you must validate them in Zuora so that payments made with these payment methods are successful.
  14. Click Save Gateway Information.
