Magento 2 Setup
Step 1: Configure your BlueSnap account settings
Before you install the BlueSnap extension in Magento, complete these steps in your Merchant Portal for production or sandbox.
-
Get your BlueSnap API credentials and define the authorized IP addresses for your server production environment to be used for API calls. Both of these actions are performed on the same page; for instructions click here.
-
To get paid, you need to configure your payout settings. Refer to Payout for more information.
Step 2: Install and upload the BlueSnap extension
The BlueSnap extension is available from Magento for free. Follow the Adobe Commerce steps here to learn how to install an extension.
Note: The key for the BlueSnap module is bluesnap/m2-module-payment.
Step 3. Configure the BlueSnap extension
To configure payment methods for the BlueSnap Extension, you must be logged in to your store as an administrator.
Go to Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment Methods and configure the payment methods that you want to offer shoppers. Details about each payment method setting are in the subsequent sections.
After you finish configuring the payment methods, complete the following:
- Click Save Config.
- If you have Magento caching enabled, log in to your Magento store as an admin, go to System > Cache Management, and click Flush Magento Cache.
BlueSnap Credit/Debit Card Payments
Expand the BlueSnap Credit/Debit Card Payments section and configure the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable | Select Yes to enable the BlueSnap extension. This means that BlueSnap Credit/Debit Cards appears as a payment option during checkout. |
| Enable Vaulted Shoppers | Select Yes to let logged-in shoppers store their credit card details for future purchases. They can manage their information from their My Account area. Select No to disable this option. If you are selling subscriptions, this must be set to Yes. |
| IPN Configuration | Copy the URL from this section and use it for the IPN Setup section below. |
| Enable 3D secure | If you want to offer 3‑D Secure, contact BlueSnap Merchant Support and ask for 3‑D Secure to be enabled for your account. After that is done, you can select Yes here to activate 3‑D Secure. For more information on 3‑D Secure, refer to our 3‑D Secure Guide. (Note: This link opens in a new tab.) Select No if you do not want to use 3‑D Secure. |
| Enable Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) | The default selection is “No”, as we follow Magento’s default currency configuration. Magento provides three types of currencies: - Base currency (for your store) - Display currency (what shoppers see) - Allowed currency (select same as Base currency) To provide the best experience for your shoppers, you should configure a base currency for each of your stores/websites. The display currency and allowed currency are set to allow your shoppers to see prices in their specific currency. However, if the display or allowed currency differs from the store's base currency, the shopper will be charged in the base currency and not the allowed or displayed currency. For subscription products, if the display or allowed currency differs from the store's base currency, prices will be displayed and stored incorrectly. It is best practice to ensure the configured currencies match. If you plan to offer multiple currencies, Magento's best practice is to set a store for each currency you plan to offer, and then use geo-location to direct the shopper to the proper store. |
