Prerequisites

You need to complete the steps below before setting up Sage Pay in your product.

  1. Initiate the Sage Pay on-boarding process. Contact your regional sales manager or authorized Sage Partner to begin the application process for a vendor account. Your partner or regional sales manager will work with a designated Sage Pay account manager to process the merchant application and registration.
  2. Certify yourself as being PCI-DSS compliant. After you have an established merchant account with Sage Pay and have a secure portal set up with them, you should certify your compliance for a nominal fee through a certification firm.
  3. Ensure that the web server has a publicly accessible address, listening on port 80 or 443, preferably SSL and port 443 for added security.
  4. This web server should be available to all users, internal or external, who need to use the same URL. See the Appendix for possible network configurations.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a set of policies and procedures used to optimize the security of credit, debit, and cash card transactions while protecting cardholders against the misuse of their personal information.
