Obtaining your credentials

Once you have received your activation letter/fax from Moneris, go to https://esplus.moneris.com/usmpg/activate/ as instructed. You will need to input the store ID and merchant ID provided in the email, then click on Activate. In this process you will need to create an administrator account that you will use to log into the Merchant Resource Centre to access and administer your eSELECTplus store. You will need to use the Store ID and API Token to send transactions through the API. 

Once you have created your first Merchant Resource Centre user, please log on to the Interface by clicking the “eSELECTplus” button. Once you have logged in please proceed to ADMIN and then STORE SETTINGS. At the top of the page you will locate your production API Token, which you will need to configure the store as directed below: 

Configuring the store

To enable the eSELECT Plus (Moneris) gateway:

1. In the eRatex admin console, go to Configuration > Site Setup Wizard.
   
   
2. In the Payment Gateway section, click the configure link next to the eSELECT Plus (Moneris) entry.
   
   
3. Enter the values you obtained from eSELECT Plus (Moneris) for the Live API Token and Live Store ID.
   
   
4. Set the Country to either US or CA depending on the home country of your store. If you're going to use the Canada integration, you will also need to change your default locale and currency at the top of the Site Setup Wizard page.
    
   
   
5. Click Save and Close.
   
   
6. Finally, click the radio button next to Moneris eSELECT plus and then click the Save button.

Gateway Messages

Unlike most other gateways, with Moneris store admins can customize the transaction result messages that customers see when attempting to check out - things like "Authentication failed", "Card not accepted", etc through the Prompts. This also allows these messages to be translated into other languages. See here for more information on doing that.

To review/edit these messages, go to Content > Prompts in the admin console and search for 'gw.moneris'.

Notes

• Moneris' test server uses a shared order number system. If an order number has ever been used by another customer on any other platform, the order will fail even if everything else about the request is valid. If you encounter unexpected errors during checkout testing, try another order number and it should go through.
• The Moneris gateway differs from many gateways in that it does not allow voids on orders until they have been captured. Stores using delayed capture that need to cancel orders will have to do so through the Moneris terminal, or by capturing the order and then voiding/refunding it.
• The eRatex Moneris integration does not currently support 3d secure transactions.
