  Streamlined and Professional Zen Cart Integration, Easy PCI Compliance

  • An IFrame is used to display the Sage Pay Card Details page.
  • To the customer it appears as if they never leave the store's website, maximising the professionalism of the store.
  • The Card Details page actually uses one of Sage Pay's servers, which have full level 1 PCI compliance.
  • A custom template for the Card Details page, designed by Ceon to be clear and professional, is also included with the distribution, for the best possible look and integration with Zen Cart.

• Support for every Card Type handled by Sage Pay

  • Each card type can be enabled or disabled at the click of a button inside the admin. Cards supported:
    • Visa
    • MasterCard
    • Maestro
    • Visa Debit
    • American Express
    • Visa Electron (UKE)
    • Diners Club International
    • JCB
    • Laser

• Full support of all essential parts of Sage Pay Server's 2.23 Protocol

  • This includes support for the three different Transaction Types: Authenticate, Deferred and Immediate Charge.
  • It also includes support for the various AVS (Address Verification) Options and 3D-Secure Options.
  • These features are easily configured using simple radio buttons in the Module's Admin Configuration.

• Full 3D-Secure Support

  • Also known as “Verified by Visa” or “MasterCard SecureCode”, 3D-Secure adds an extra layer of security to the acceptance of card details over the internet. The online equivalent to “Chip and Pin”, it is anticipated that the majority of cards will eventually make use of this technology.

  Transaction Admin

  • Ceon Sage Pay Server has an incredibly useful Transaction Admin which integrates fluidly with the Zen Cart admin orders page, enabling stores to carry out many “Transaction Actions” Serverly within the Zen Cart admin:
    • Authenticated transactions can be Authorised (in full or in part) or Cancelled.
    • Deferred transactions can be Released or Aborted.
    • Orders can even be Refunded (in full or in part), or, if not yet settled, Voided.
  • With all of the transaction actions, the Zen Cart totals for the order can be automatically updated, as can the overall Zen Cart order status - a level of integration never before seen in Zen Cart!
  • The current status of the transaction is displayed clearly on the orders page, making it easier to know what could/should be done.
  • When a transaction action is performed, e-mails can be sent automatically, to inform the customer and/or the store's staff! (E.g. “We have refunded your card for the amount of ...”).
  • Security settings in the module's configuration allow the transaction admin functionality to be used by all the store's Zen Cart admin users or restricted to specific admin users.
  • A complete record of all transaction actions (including who performed them) is maintained and displayed/accessible in a “History of actions” section within the transaction admin.
  • All the details recorded about the initial transaction are also displayed within the transaction admin.
  • The interface of the transaction admin has been carefully designed to be as efficient and intuitive as possible. When an order is first displayed, a space-saving summary showing the transaction's current status is shown, rather than the full admin panel, so the admin user can still see all the order information on one page without having to scroll un-necessarily.
  • The transaction admin panel isn't included when the order page is printed, making printouts of the order page neater and clearer!

• Icons for each Type of Credit/Debit Card Accepted

  • If this option is enabled in the admin, icons are displayed for each credit/debit card accepted (all are enabled in the screenshot to the right).
  • This looks very professional for the store!

• Cards Accepted Sidebox

  • A “Cards Accepted” sidebox also comes with the module, allowing the dynamic display of icons for each type of credit/debit card accepted by the store.
  • This lets customers know what card types are accepted even before they've reached the checkout stage.
  • The display of the “Secured by Sage Pay” logo gives further confidence to the customer that they are using a professional website with a reliable payment gateway.
  • A “Secured by Protx” logo can also be displayed if desired, for those stores whose customers may still be more familiar with the older Protx branding.

• Support for a Single Merchant Account Currency or Multiple Merchant Account Currencies

  • Each currency in which the store wants to accept payment requires a separate merchant account for the respective currency. This payment module supports the sending of payment information to Sage Pay in any number of currencies, according to the settings specified in the Module's Admin Configuration.

• [NEW for 1.2.0] Support for Multiple Sage Pay Go Accounts

  • Any number of Sage Pay Go accounts can be used with the module by configuring which currencies use which account (by specifying the currency/currencies and the Vendor Name for each account).

• Allows gathering of the following information

  • Card Holder's Name
  • Card Type
  • Last 4 Digits of Card Number

• Sage Pay and/or Protx Logo Display

  • As Sage Pay is a rebranding of the popular company Protx, many people may still be more familiar with the Protx brand. For this reason there are options in the module's admin to display the Sage Pay logo, the Protx logo or both logos. The title of the module as displayed to the customer can also change respectively.

• IP Address Lookup

  • The IP address of the server contacting Sage Pay must be entered in My Sage Pay's Account Parameters. The module's Transaction Mode can be set to “IP Address Check” to quickly and easily look up the IP address which should be entered.

• Support for Sage Pay's Simulator testing services

  • This module allows the testing of its operation and configuration in conjunction with Sage Pay's extremely handy Simulator service, avoiding having to create lots of test orders with lots of bogus details. Once the configuration has been confirmed as working, the module can be switched to using the store vendor's My Sage Pay Go live account(s) at the click of a radio button!

• Automatic Database Table Creation and Auto-Upgrade Functionality

  • Ceon Sage Pay Server automatically creates its database table upon installation.
  • It also automatically upgrades any previous version's database.

• Full Transaction Recording

  • The transaction attempt is recorded in the database, before contacting Sage Pay.
  • Its progress is then recorded at any significant points along the way.
  • This allows tracking of how far any incomplete transactions got, and as a consequence, for the possibility of linking up with cart recovery software to recreate an order which, for any reason, wasn't associated with a completed payment (although this hasn't been implemented in any way).
  • The tracking also records details about the session, including a human-readable description, based on the customer's name, so a series of transaction attempts by a customer can be grouped together for easy analysis/trouble-shooting.

• Debug Output Mode

  • Sometimes there can be problems sending information to and/or receiving information from Sage Pay. The debug output mode gives the ability to see what information was sent and received as well as information about the server's setup, so the settings can be checked. Most stores should never need this though and it is subsequently disabled by default.
