2. Install a Ceon Sage Pay module on the store's website.
   

   Install either Ceon Sage Pay Direct, Ceon Sage Pay Server or Ceon Sage Pay Form according to the instructions that come with the respective module's distribution. Installation should only take a few minutes!

3. Configure the Sage Pay Go Test Account.

   Log into the My Sage Pay Test account and set up the Test account so that it can be used with the Zen Cart store.

   Full instructions on how to configure the account are provided with the Ceon Sage Pay module distributions. Configuring the account should only take a few minutes.

4. Carry out a Test Order and then Refund the Card Transaction.

   Simply add some items to the shopping cart, proceed to the checkout and use the Test Card Details to complete the order.

   The Card Transaction should then be refunded, simply to show that the process of how to do this is understood by whoever is responsible for handling the orders.

5. Apply to have a Live Account created.

   Once Sage Pay verify that a transaction has been performed and refunded, they can then set up a Live account for the store and associate it with the store's Merchant Account.

6. Configure the Sage Pay Go Live Account and switch the Zen Cart module to Live.

   The Live Account is configured in exactly the same way as the Test Account was configured previously. The Zen Cart module is switched to Live mode simply by clicking a radio button.
   

7. Carry out a Live Order and then Refund the Card Transaction - the store can now go live!

   Step 4 above must now be repeated but this time using real credit/debit card details.

That's it! The store will now be able to accept credit cards and debit cards for any order!
