How to add REALEX as a Payment Gateway

When Realex have set up your TEST account, they will send you your Realex Merchant ID and your Shared Secret Code.

Go to My Account > Legacy Interface > Your Account > Payment Gateway

Tick the ACTIVE option

Copy your Realex Merchant ID into the ‘Account reference’ field

Copy your Shared Secret Code into the ‘Secret Phrase’ field

Tick the TEST option

Now make a test payment.

Now go to your customer facing booking page to make a test booking:  https://[account alias].anytimebooking.eu/place_booking 

[account alias is your six digit number e.g. 354675.anytimebooking.eu or a name followed by.anytimebooking.eu if you’ve had your booking page styled]

When you get to the payment screen, use these test card details:

Card Type: VISA

No: 4263 7000 0000 5262

Security Code: any

Expire: any

Cardholder name: any

Address (all sections): any

Country: UK

You are looking for a 00 successful result.

Once the payment has gone through (check in your bookings list), phone Realex to tell them you made a successful test payment and ask them to make your account with them LIVE. They should confirm they have done this with you once they have done so.

 Once you have gone LIVE with Realex, it’s always advisable to make one more test booking with payment from a real card and then to make a refund.
