Setting up Redsys on your online shop may seem complicated at first, but by following the right guide, you can do it efficiently. In this post, we explain where to start and the steps to integrate Redsys into your website.
1. Before You Begin: Initial Preparation
You will need a business account at a bank that supports Redsys. Once you have the account, the next step is to request the activation of the virtual POS from your bank. This process also involves negotiating the transaction fee, which typically ranges between 0.40% and 0.60%.
Required documentation for your bank:
- Owner’s NIF
- Commercial name for the online store
- Fiscal address (must match the one displayed on your website)
- Technical contact (the contact of the technical person responsible for the integration)
- Phone number and email linked to the POS
- Website URL
- Bank account number
2. Requirements for Your Payment Page
Ensure that your payment page meets the requirements and displays the following mandatory elements:
- Terms and conditions of purchase: Include shipping, return, and cancellation policies.
- Accepted cards: Visa and Mastercard.
- Terms acceptance: The customer must agree to the terms and conditions before paying.
- Product descriptions and prices: Provide full details of the items.
- Company name and NIF: Make sure to include these visibly.
- Contact information: Provide an email and/or phone number.
3. Redsys Integration Methods
You have two main options to integrate Redsys:
External payment link (redirection):
- Easier to integrate.
- Less customization.
- During the payment, the customer is redirected to the Redsys page and returns to your store after the transaction.
Direct integration on your website (inSite):
- Requires more technical work.
- More customization.
- Better user experience as it is fully integrated into your website.
4. Enabling the Production Environment
Once you have completed and tested one of the integrations in the test environment, you will need to contact Redsys to activate the production environment and start processing real payments.
5. Configuring Payments with Apple Pay and Google Pay
Integrating Apple Pay and Google Pay into your online store is an important step to enhance user experience, as they enable quick and secure purchases, reducing cart abandonment and increasing conversion rates. These mobile-optimized methods offer a seamless and reliable payment experience.
To enable these methods, you must meet certain specific requirements:
- Ensure that your bank’s POS supports the integration of these payment methods.
- Security certificates: Make sure your website has a valid SSL certificate and that all transactions are conducted through secure connections (HTTPS).
- Developer account: You will need a developer account in the Apple Developer Program and Google for Developers to enable these services.
- POS documentation: Access the specific Redsys documentation for configuring Apple Pay and Google Pay.
NOTE: This integration may require advanced technical work and can only be done once you have enabled the production environment of the virtual POS.
