Building a website and choosing a payment service provider are the first steps to entering the world of ecommerce.
Our standard package starts at £19.90/month and has all the features you’ll need to accept payments securely online and over the phone.
To accept different payment types like Visa and MasterCard, you will need one or multiple merchant accounts (or merchant IDs). This allows your payments to be authorised and transferred into your business bank account.
Tell me more about merchant accounts
You can get a Merchant Account in two ways:
You can tell us which option you'd like to go for in the Opayo application form. If you need some advice on which option is best for your business just get in touch. We're here to support you 24/7.
A web developer will need to integrate our payment technology to your website. Compare integration methods
To save you time and money, we also have a range of pre-existing integrations and plugins available for most ecommerce software packages.
See our list of integrations
Visit our online support section for our integration kits, payment logos and troubleshooting help. Alternatively, we’re available 24/7 by phone or email.
We work with a range of digital agencies, web developers and ecommerce software experts that can help with your integration.
Before we get to the exciting bit – putting your account live – we need you to put through a test transaction followed by a refund using MySagePay.
Guide to testing your integration
Once that's done we can make your account live. You will now be ready to start accepting payments.
Remember you must also have you Merchant IDs validated before we can make your account live. We can do this before or after your test transaction
When you start accepting card payments from your customers you must get a PCI DSS certificate. This shows you are complying with payment industry standards. This protects you and your shoppers.
Tell me more about PCI DSS compliance
Opayo is certified to the highest level PCI DSS Level 1. This reduces your compliance requirements significantly unless you have chosen the direct integration method.
You can get your certificate quickly and cheaply from Trustwave, our Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) partner.

Remember: If the bank setting up your merchant account(s) has their own Qualified Security Assessor partner then you'll need to go with them rather than Trustwave.
