Before you can start to install the eZ Publish Paynet Terminal extension, the following requirements have to be met:

• The extension needs a specific server environment configuration to work properly.
• A Paynet merchant account must be created for production use.

These points will be explained in detail below.

Preparing the Web server

Make sure you have installed PHP 4.3.4 or higher on the eZ Publish host server and that it runs eZ Publish version 3.6 or higher.

Furthermore, Paynet must be able to reach a certain URL within the eZ Publish installation when redirecting from the Paynet terminal to the eZ Publish shop. Due to the fact that your shop is connected to the Internet, meeting this requirement is not a problem.

Registering a Paynet merchant account

You must be a registered Paynet merchant if you want to make use of the Paynet service in a production environment. This means you need to have an agreement with Paynet and with a credit card company: euroConnex, Teller, or both. Paynet provides you a merchant number and access to their Terminal administration interface, which is later used to configure the Paynet Terminal extension.

More information about becoming a Paynet merchant can be found at http://www.paynet.no/apply.

For development or testing purposes, bogus transactions can be done with the paynet-demo-key certificate as described in the Testing section.
