PayGate is a South African payment processor (now part of DPO Group) supporting ZAR card payments and other local methods. Tickera’s PayGate integration is for South African organizers who need a domestic processor with strong ZAR support.

Prior to setting PayGate within Tickera, you need first to create a PayGate merchant account which you can do here.

Once you have created your merchant account, you can obtain your merchant ID and encryption key which you will need to be able to set it up with Tickera.

Now, head to Tickera Settings > Payment Gateways and select PayGate from the list of existing payment gateways to activate it and to be able to enter all the necessary credentials:

Paygate

  1. Merchant ID – obtained from your PayGate merchant account
  2. Encryption Key – obtained from your PayGate merchant account
  3. Paygate Currency  – select one of the three offered currencies  (GBR, USD, ZAR) and make sure it matches global currency of Tickera store in the General Settings.

 

* for testing purposes enter 10011013800 as Merchant ID and secret as Encryption Key.
