Billing Provider Setups in Finance Settings
Run Environment: This is the API hostname. CyberSource provides a free sandbox environment for testing with the hostname apitest.cybersource.com.
Country: We use the feature Unified Checkout which is limited by country so using this field in the connection details may detect if the feature is available there.
Credentials: CyberSource requires MerchantId, Merchant API Key, and Shared Secret Key for API calls. CyberSource allows us to create free merchant accounts for the sandbox environment at https://developer.cybersource.com/hello-world/sandbox.html. After creating the merchant account, log in to the home page https://ebc2test.cybersource.com/ebc2/, the credentials can be generated there at the section Generate Key.
Billing Provider Settings:
CurrencyCode: This is for the feature “Manage customer registered payment card”. We use the checkout widget provided by CyberSource Unified Checkout to collect customer credit/debit cards but the Unified Checkout API requires a currency to be passed in. The currency is retrieved from here.
CyberSource Merchant Setups
We use the feature CyberSource Unified Checkout for our checkout functionality so the payment configuration should have Unified Checkout enabled in the CyberSource merchant account.
For more details about Unified Checkout, please visit this document page https://developer.cybersource.com/docs/cybs/en-us/digital-accept-flex/developer/all/rest/digital-accept-flex/uc-intro.html.
We use CyberSource Token Management Service (TMS) to save customer credit/debit cards as tokens for some of our features such as recurring payments, managing customers registered payment cards, etc so we should have the TMS enabled. TMS cannot be enabled on the CyberSource portal, it should be done by the CyberSource support team or if the merchant is added by a reseller then we will need to reach out to the reseller for the configuration.
For more details about TMS, please visit this document pagehttps://developer.cybersource.com/docs/cybs/en-us/tms/developer/ctv/rest/tms/tms-overview.html.
Go Live Setups
To transition the Cybersource account from test to live status, also referred to as go live, and process real transactions in Production, we need an activation process. Please follow this guide for the process https://support.cybersource.com/knowledgebase/Knowledgearticle/?code=000002034.
