Salesforce Setup

Step 1: Configure your BlueSnap account settings

Complete these steps in your Merchant Portal for production or sandbox.

  1. Get your BlueSnap API credentials and add the following IP address: 204.14.232.100. Both of these actions are performed on the same page; for instructions click here.

  2. Set up your statement descriptor. The statement descriptor is the description that appears on the shopper's credit card statement or bank statement for each transaction and helps the shopper identify the transaction.

  • Go to Settings > General Settings.
  • In the Branding Settings section, enter a Default Statement (Soft) Descriptor and Support Phone Number (both appear on the shopper's statement).
  • Click Submit.
  1. To get paid, you need to configure your payout settings. Refer to Payout for more information.
