Establishing TSYS, eWAY, and Global Payment accounts

HERE'S A FLASH FOR YOU! Your credit card setup and processing in Spectra, myStratus, and InSpiredByYou will be displayed based on the regional settings of your computer. It is important to set up your credit card account credentials correctly in Company (Studio) Preferences with the information given to you by TSYS, eWAY, or Global Payments. This will enable your credit card settings to show the appropriate regional information (e.g., monetary rates, values, and formats, as well as language differences). Usually computers sold in the region you're located will be set to the correct region by default. If, however, you have clients from other regions, you may wish to advise them that your credit card processing is using your regional standards.

Setting up Credit Card Processing Integration

​​Once you have your account established, the credit card provider will supply you with your business's own unique set of information keys, called your account credentials. These credentials are entered into the Spectra or myStratus Company (Studio) Preferences for use in all credit card transactions.

For detailed instructions for setting up your credit card processing integration, refer to one of the following (depending on your regional location): 

• For TSYS, refer to Company Preferences - TSYS Credit Cards (US)
• For eWAY, refer to Company Preferences - eWAY Credit Cards (AU NZ)
• For Global Payments, refer to Company Preferences - Global Payments (EU Canada)

ATTENTION! It is recommended that you back up your Spectra database prior to entering your Company (Studio) Preferences for credit cards or purging any already collected credit card information.
