Learn how to set up your Shopware store to accept cryptocurrencies via NetCents.
Part 1: Adding your website domain to the Merchant Gateway platform.
Step 1. Log in to your NetCents Merchant Gateway account. On the navigation menu, click "Ecommerce Plugins".
Step 2. Enter your Ecommerce website domain and click "Add". This will generate a Web Plugin Id which will be used later on in the setup process.
Step 3. Download the applicable plugin based on the platform you used to build your Ecommerce website.
Step 4. You will need your API Keys and Secret to authenticate payment requests with the web server. To find your API Keys and Secret, click on "Account" > "API Keys". Make sure to use the Live API Keys and Secret for real transactions, and only the sandbox keys in a testing environment.
