Before you can configure the integrated application to use Sage Exchange Desktop, you must complete the boarding process, where Sage Payment Solutions assigns you a merchant account (merchant ID and merchant key). Contact a Sage Payment Solutions Sales Representative at 800-652-2370 to obtain your merchant credentials.
Note If you are a developer working on a Sage Payment Solutions integration, send an e-mail message to sdksupport@sage.com for assistance.
Sage Payment Solutions offers two types of accounts for merchants; Vault-only and Processing. A Vault-only account allows you to store credit card information in the Sage Payment Solutions Vault via Sage Exchange Desktop but does not allow you to process credit card transactions such as sales and refunds. A Processing account allows you to store credit card information in the Vault and to process transactions.
If you are a developer, you do not need a merchant account to integrate with Sage Payment Solutions.
Note If you have a Vault-only account and want to upgrade to a Processing account, contact an Account Executive at 800-261-0240 ext. 410800 or vaultconversion@sagepayments.com.
You can install Sage Exchange Desktop directly from the Sage Exchange Desktop Installation web page or download and save it to install from a network file share, local hard drive, or storage media such as a CD-ROM. The installation consists of two parts; a COM component that contains the SDK (MSI installation package) and the Desktop application. The COM component is a one time installation applicable to all users that does not require updating; however does require administrator rights to install. The Desktop application is installed per-user; therefore, each user who needs to process credit card transactions must install it (administrator rights are not required).
Consider the following items for alternate installation methods or if you are integrating your software application with Sage Exchange Desktop:
After installation, verify that the Sage Exchange icon (SE) runs as a service in the Microsoft Windows System Tray. The SE icon must display in the System Tray to use Sage Exchange Desktop for credit card processing.
