This guide will help you setup a payment gateway to collect automated payments.

Things to know:

  • This article assumes you already maintain your own merchant account that provides you with access to one of TeleCloud's supported payment gateways.
  • As a CORE, when you setup a payment gateway it will be used to process payments for your resellers only (VAR accounts wholesale billing).
  • VAR accounts (not CORE accounts) process payments for end-users (ie. customers), each VAR account can setup their own payment gateway. If you have your own customer facing brand you'll want to login to your VAR account and follow this guide again.
