GiveWP Moneris Payment Gateway Addon GPL v1.1.0

Accept donations quickly and easily using Canada’s leading payment services provider. GiveWP Moneris Payment Gateway add-on allows you to connect GiveWP to your Moneris account to accept credit card donations online.

Getting Started with Moneris

In order to accept payments with Moneris using GiveWP you will need to have an active Moneris account, the Moneris GiveWP Add-on, and the Core GiveWP plugin installed and activated.

After your Moneris Add-on is activated, go to “Donations > Settings” and click on the Payment Gateways tab. There you will see the default Payment Gateways (PayPal Standard, Test Payment, and Offline Donations). You should also see Moneris Settings as an option as well. Click on that menu item to set up Moneris as an active payment gateway.

Testing Your Moneris Integration

The Easiest Way to Test with Moneris

It is recommended that you test your gateway integration prior to going live with any of your campaigns. For less technical users, we recommend using your live credentials and $1.00 payments. This is because Moneris’ testing environment is shared and can be confusing when testing if you have never worked with such a system. The live test payments can always be refunded and you won’t be burdened with swapping API keys and searching transactions.

Testing Using the Moneris Sandbox

If you’d like to test using Moneris’ test environment then click here to obtain the testing credentials for Moneris. There are 2 different types of testing credentials and merchant resource manager URL present in that URL:

1. For Canada account users
2. For US account users

Also, there is a list of test cards available which you can use to process a successful donation. Be sure to enter the proper credentials for the environment you’ve logged into.

Please note: If you use the credentials of Canada account, then set base country as Canada. If you use the credentials fo US account, then set base country as United States. If any other country is set as base country then processing the donation will throw error.
