- Log in to the Zuora test or production environment:
-
In the top menu, navigate to Settings > Z-Payments Settings > Setup Payment Gateway.
-
If you have not yet created the BlueSnap gateway, follow these steps (otherwise, skip to step 4):
a. Select the BlueSnap gateway type and then click create gateway.
b. In the Basic Information section, define the gateway name and select the Use Gateway Test Environment option if you would like to use the Zuora test environment with the BlueSnap sandbox.
c. In the Credentials section, enter the API user key and password you generated for BlueSnap. Make sure you enter the correct credentials either for the sandbox or production.
d. In the Rules section, select the card types you want to support and configure any other relevant settings.
e. Click save gateway information. The BlueSnap gateway is created and appears in the list.
-
In the list of payment gateways, make sure the BlueSnap gateway is active and set as the default. Click the options in the Actions column to change this, if needed.
MOTO Transactions
If you want to process MOTO transactions with BlueSnap and Zuora, you can set the transaction order source in Zuora. Visit Zuora's documentation to learn more.
Step 3: Test the integration
Once you complete setup, you can test the integration by initiating a transaction from Zuora and then verifying that the transaction appears in BlueSnap.
-
In Zuora, initiate a transaction by following their "How to Get Started" instructions:
-
In Zuora, go to Billing Operations > Invoice. On the relevant invoice, locate the Transaction Number. You will use this number to locate the transaction in your Merchant Portal next.
-
If you wish to view payment details and to verify that the transaction was successfully processed by BlueSnap, click the Transaction Number. On the payment page, under the Basic Information section, you'll see a Reference ID. If you do not find a Reference ID or an error message appears, this indicates that the transaction was not processed properly on the BlueSnap side. For details about errors and possible solutions, please see BlueSnap’s error reference.
-
In your Merchant Portal, log in to your sandbox or production account and then go to Transactions > Find a Transaction. From the ID Type dropdown, select Merchant Transaction ID and then enter the Transaction Number that you found in Zuora. Click Locate to look it up.
If the transaction is found, the integration is set up and ready to go! If the transaction is not found, please reach out to BlueSnap Support.
