Accept.Blue Payment Gateway Integration

Introduction

The Accept.Blue payment gateway integration allows your Infigo storefront to securely process card and ACH payments using Accept.Blue’s hosted tokenisation and payment services.

Accept.Blue operates on top of PayTrace infrastructure but offers more competitive pricing and simplified onboarding. This integration gives you the same core payment capabilities previously available with PayTrace, while reducing cost and improving flexibility.

This article explains what the integration does, why it was introduced, and how to configure and use it on your storefront.

What the Accept.Blue integration does

Once enabled, the Accept.Blue integration allows Infigo to:

• Securely collect payment details using hosted tokenisation

• Authorise payments at checkout

• Capture payments immediately or later

• Void authorisations

• Issue full and partial refunds

• Support both card payments and ACH (where enabled on your account)

All sensitive payment data is handled by Accept.Blue, meaning no card or bank details are stored in Infigo.

Why this was added

Previously, customers using PayTrace:

• Faced higher transaction costs

• Had limited flexibility when onboarding new payment providers

• Relied on bespoke development for alternative gateways

Accept.Blue provides:

• Lower processing costs

• A modern tokenisation approach

• Feature parity with PayTrace

• Faster onboarding for customers already using Accept.Blue

This integration gives customers a supported, cost-effective alternative without sacrificing functionality.

What it replaces or changes

Before:

• PayTrace was the primary option for similar functionality

• Payment integrations were more rigid and costly

Now:

• Accept.Blue can be used as a direct alternative

• The checkout experience remains familiar to customers

• Admin payment workflows (capture, refund, void) behave consistently with other gateways

Before you start

Before configuring Accept.Blue in Infigo, make sure you have:

• An active Accept.Blue account

• Access to your Accept.Blue merchant portal

• The following credentials from Accept.Blue:

  • API URL (live environment)

  • Source Key

  • PIN

  • Tokenisation / Public Key (for hosted fields)

• Admin access to your Infigo storefront

• Your storefront currency set correctly (USD is required for fixed-price products)

⚠️ Important
Sandbox credentials must never be used on a live storefront. Always double-check you are using live credentials before going live.

Step 1 – Configure Accept.Blue credentials

1. Go to Admin → Payments Methods

2. Click on the Configure button for the Accept.Blue Payment Method

In the Accept.Blue payment method settings, enter:

• API URL (live Accept.Blue endpoint)

• Source Key

• PIN

• Tokenisation Key / Public Key

Save the settings.

Use Test Connection to verify that the credentials are valid.

✅ A successful test confirms Infigo can communicate with Accept.Blue.

Step 3 – Choose your capture mode

Accept.Blue supports multiple payment flows. Choose the option that matches your business process:

• Manually
  Funds are authorised at checkout and captured later manually.

• On Order Placement
  Funds are captured as soon as the order is placed.

• On Shipped
  Authorisation happens at checkout, with capture triggered later (for example, on approval or dispatch).

Select your preferred mode in the payment method settings and save.

Step 4 – Configure error-handling payment method (recommended)

For storefronts using fixed-price or special error-handling products:

• Create an additional payment method with a £0 / $0 amount

• Assign it only to the relevant products or flows

This ensures compatibility with fixed-price items that must be processed in USD.

Step 5 – Enable the payment method

Once configured:

1. Ensure the payment method is enabled

2. Assign it to the correct storefront(s)

3. Check display order if multiple payment methods are available

The Accept.Blue option will now appear at checkout.

How checkout works for customers

At checkout:

1. The customer selects Accept.Blue as the payment method

2. Payment details are entered via secure hosted fields

3. No sensitive data passes through Infigo

4. The order is placed based on your selected capture mode

The customer experience is seamless and consistent with other hosted payment gateways.

Managing payments in Infigo Admin

From the order admin screen, you can:

• Capture authorised payments

• Void authorisations before capture

• Refund payments

• Issue partial refunds

All actions are sent directly to Accept.Blue and reflected on the order.

Supported payment actions

This integration supports:

• Authorisation

• Capture

• Void

• Full refund

• Partial refund

No additional configuration is required to enable these actions once the gateway is set up.

Common setup mistakes to avoid

• Using sandbox credentials on a live storefront

• Forgetting to enable the payment method after configuration

• Selecting the wrong capture mode for your fulfilment workflow

• Not restricting USD-only payment methods where required

Summary

The Accept.Blue Payment Gateway integration provides a secure, flexible, and cost-effective way to process payments in Infigo.

When configured correctly, it:

• Replaces higher-cost PayTrace setups

• Supports full payment lifecycle management

• Keeps sensitive data out of your storefront

• Works seamlessly with existing checkout and order flows

Once live, the integration requires minimal ongoing maintenance and fits naturally into Infigo’s payment management tools.
