How integration works
After placing an order, the customer is redirected to the Paysera payment page. Once the transaction is complete, the payment status for that order in the admin panel automatically changes to Payed: Yes.
Where to get the data needed to activate the integration
In the My projects → Project settings → General project settings section of the Paysera admin panel, you will find the following information to activate the integration:
Project ID;
Project password;
Verify token.
The last parameter can be found in the code window under the message «Website ownership has not been verified! Please add the code to the site header <head></head> area and press the "Check" button». You need to copy the ID between the quotation marks in the code.
How to activate the payment system in Cartum

The Test mode (sandbox) toggle in the payment system settings activates test mode, which allows you to verify that the system is working correctly on your website. At the same time, you need to enable test payments in the Paysera Checkout Settings section of the Paysera admin panel. Once testing is complete, disable test mode to start accepting payments.
To start accepting actual payments, you need to submit a request for Paysera to approve your project. To do this, click the Submit for review button next to your project ID. Approval takes one business day.

How the payments are processed
If a customer selects the appropriate shipping option when placing an order, the Online payment (Paysera) payment option becomes available to them.
When selecting this payment method, the customer proceeds to pay for the order immediately after completing the order form or after the order is confirmed by a manager, depending on which online payment options are enabled on the website.
Under the payment pre-moderation option, the manager must manually confirm the order by clicking the Send payment link button in the general order table.
The customer will then receive an email containing a payment link. A button labelled To pay for your order will also appear in the order details in the customer’s account.
After clicking the To pay for your order button in the account dashboard (or Proceed to checkout if online payment moderation is disabled), the buyer will be redirected to the Paysera payment page.
Payment link
In the general order table, a manager can quickly copy the link to the online payment page to send to a customer who has not yet paid for their order.
If online payment moderation is enabled on the website, the payment link is generated when you click the Send payment link button. You can then copy this link to send it to the buyer separately.
