WordPress is web publishing software you can use to create your own website or blog and has become one of the most popular web publishing platforms, powering 30% of the entire web. It’s a highly flexible content management system (CMS) that lets you build and manage your own website using just your web browser.

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 define the authorized IP addresses for your server. Both of these actions are performed on the same page; for instructions click here.

Note: If you are unable to provide static IPs for your servers, contact BlueSnap Merchant Support so we can disable IP checking on your account.

2. To get paid, you need to configure your payout settings. Refer to Payout for more information.

Step 2: Install and upload the BlueSnap module

1. From the WordPress dashboard, choose Plugins > Add New.

2. If your WP site is hosted on WordPress.com:

   a) Search for “BlueSnap” and install the “BlueSnap All in One Platform” plugin.
   b) Click Activate Plugin.

   If your WP site is hosted on your own private server:

   a) Download the BlueSnap plugin file (bs-forms.zip).
   b) In WordPress, click Upload Plugin at the top of the page and select the BS plugin file you just downloaded.
   c) Click Install Now.

3. Go to Settings > BLS Forms to configure the payment form layout for your store. Note: You will need to create one form per language you want to offer.

Step 4: Set up IPNs

Instant Payment Notifications (IPNs), also known as webhooks, are HTTP POST messages that are sent to your backend when an important event occurs, such as the completion of a sale. An overview of IPN functionality can be found here. If you would like to leverage the IPN functionality, you will need to code the IPN receiver on your backend and follow the steps below to set up IPNs.

1. Log in to your BlueSnap account and go to Settings > IPN Settings.

2. Select the Receive Instant Payment Notifications check box.

3. Update the IPN URL(s) field with the URL where you want to have your IPNs sent.

4. To enable specific IPNs, click Select IPNs. In the section that opens, toggle the button next to the IPN to select it.

5. Click Submit.
