How to configure Payment Gateways in Blesta?

26 Nov 2024 By PAYCEC

Blesta Payment Gateways is an integrated client management, invoicing, and support system employed by various service-oriented businesses. Another of them is the possibility to connect to different payment services so businesses can accept payments effectively. In this post, you will discover how to configure Blesta payment gateways.

Guide to Setup Blesta Payment Gateways

Blesta Admin Dashboard Login

The first step requires logging into the Blesta admin panel, which is, in fact, web host admin software. To log in, use your admin sign-in. The customer login panel is then made such that the person who completed the sign-up process functions as a control panel for that business section, allowing you to manage your billing, clients, and settings simultaneously.

Payment Gateway Settings

Once in the admin panel:

  • Select settings from the options at the top of the screen.
  • As indicated in the following subsections, locate and click on Payment Gateways in the Billing/Payment tab.

This will pull down a list of all the installed gateways, and at the bottom will be a link to the gateways that can be installed.

Place the desired payment gateway

Blesta payment gateways offer out-of-the-box supported payment gateways such as PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.Net.

  • If you cannot spot the specific gateway on the list shown as being installed, there are always those that can be added from those available.
  • Select the Available Gateways tab now.
  • To choose the payment gateway you want to integrate, scroll down the list. PayCEC, PayPal, STRIPE, and more options are available.
  • After selecting it next to the preferred gateway, click Install.

If PayCEC or another custom or third-party gateway was not integrated from the start, you might need to upload the provider's files if you want to use it.

Installing a Custom Gateway

For example, you can obtain the module or plugin files to be utilized for the payment from PayCEC, the payment service firm.

  • Using FTP or file manager, upload these files to the Blesta directory:/components/gateways/.
  • Go back to the Blesta payment gateways section, and the new gateway must be in the list of available gateways to install.

Configure the Payment Gateway

Following the gateway's debut, you must enter some account settings, some of which may require your account details to access.

  • Next, go to the Installed Gateways tab.
  • Beside the new entry with the installed gateway, click on the Manage link.

You must enter the API token and other process-related parameters on the settings page that opens.

Select the Available Gateways button

To view a single gateway, view the full list of payment gateways and then scroll down to PayCEC, PayPal, and Stripe.

  • Besides the mandatory gateway, press the Install button next to it.
  • If a third-party or custom gateway, such as PayCEC, isn't present by default, you'll need to upload the provider's gateway files.

Configure Payment Gateway Settings

Each gateway will have its specific settings, but there are a few global options you may want to customize:

  • Currencies: Check that the currencies of the payment gateways accepted are installed in Blesta. Available currencies shall be checked under Setting Currencies, where you can update accepted currencies.
  • Payment Methods: You can accept credit cards, debit cards, and even Bitcoin as payment methods with payment gateway services. The setup options should be used to choose the appropriate payment methods.

Test the Blesta payment gateways

You must thoroughly inspect your payment gateway to ensure all of its features are working at their best before you begin taking payments.

  • If the gateway has a test mode, it is recommended to have it available.
  • Go to Blesta and try creating a test invoice, paying it as if you were a client.
  • Finalize the transaction so the process is clear and the notification emails, like the success message, are generated.

If the test mode has been well-checked, change to live mode and run a test with actual transactions to ensure all is in order.

Activate the Gateway for Client Payments

  • After configuring and testing your gateway, you’ll want to make it available to your customers:
  • Navigate to Client Portal Settings on Blesta and set up the installed gateway so they can see it when they pay.

For further settings in the gateway, it gives the customers the options regarding which gateway they wish to use at the check-out point.

Manage Transactions

Once your payment gateway is live and accepting payments, Blesta allows you to monitor and manage all transactions:

  • Click on Billing and then Transaction to check payment descriptions, approval status (approved, pending, failed), and customer information. Depending on the kind of gateway integration, Blesta offers several options for refunds or chargebacks.
  • Make sure you have auto-check run and notification set up. This will guarantee that the seller and the clients receive real-time notifications.

Setting up a payment processor in Blesta is quite simple, making it easy to get paid promptly and safely. PayPal and Stripe are well-known gateways, while PayCEC is one of the most robust worldwide options.

The deployment of a suitable payment gateway will improve the client experience, billing effectiveness, and international business growth. Blesta payment gateways are incredibly adaptable and simple to include in any current service provider enterprise, focusing on IT companies to facilitate the implementation of payment systems and simple client account administration.
