4. Enter the Vault API Client ID into the corresponding field in the configuration box.
If you get a message saying “This note is not available” when you follow a link for the first time, then someone else has used the link. If there is a 404 error then the link has expired because it’s over 30 days from when they were created.
In this case please get in touch with us through the normal support channels to arrange for new API Secret Keys to be generated. See https://portal.sellerdeck.co.uk/support-centre/support/ for more information.
Click 'OK' when done. You can now upload your store and test your SellerdeckPay installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The 'Transact API Secret Key' and 'Vault API Secret Key' are only available once, via the one-time links supplied within your welcome email. The links will expire after 30 days so if you aren’t ready to set up SellerdeckPay by ClearAccept, follow them now and make a note of the secret key in a secure location.
The secret keys will be displayed once these links are clicked. There is a 'Copy Note' button which should copy the secret keys to the clipboard, you can then paste it into a plain text editor such as 'Notepad'. Once you have done this, you can then cross-check that the copy has worked and the secret keys match those on the screen.
We would recommend that the secret keys are stored in the your normal secure password repository, e.g. a facility such as 'Roboform', 'Nordpass', 'Bitwarden' etc.
DO NOT use the Notepad file that you used to validate the keys. If you do not have a secure password repository, it would be good practice to get a password manager, there are many available and storing the keys will mean you can re-enter them if something happens to the software.
Once you have set up SellerdeckPay, you will see some extra options on the main 'Payment and Security' panel. These are:
Unless agreed in writing that payment in other currencies may be accepted, all transactions must be in GBP Sterling.
Using SellerdeckPay

Subsequent Payments
For customers with accounts, SellerdeckPay makes it very easy to take a subsequent payment from the same customer using the same card. Buyers can choose whether or not to allow their card details to be stored whether for the same order or a new one.
If a non-account customer chooses to save their card details at the checkout, and if items are later added to the same order, then the same card can be used to take an additional payment. It will not be available to use for new orders from the same customer.
If you take an offline order for an existing customer using their account details, then the customer’s previously used card(s) are offered among the payment methods.

The four 'Security Checks' give you a guide of how reliable the payment information provided by the customer is. They will display the results of the checks as the bank returns them.
The meaning of the results is below:
