Successfully changed payment gateways with zero downtime
Spirit Connect has been busy behind the scenes migrating our Credit Card payment gateway from eWay to SecurePay; our bank told us that there would be a 7 day outage while they change our merchant account over however it seems the guys at SecurePay are really on the ball and we didn’t miss a single transaction over the last few days. The only screw up we had was a software one at our end for our API; but that was corrected by the software developers and we’re now good to go.
One the of major advantages we’ll have with SecurePay is we also plan to take up their direct debit service so dedicated server customers can request we take their service fees directly out of their savings or cheque accounts if they prefer. SecurePay offer much cheaper pre-paid transactions with no yearly fees; if any customers are interested in learning more about SecurePay - you can find out more on their website at www.securepay.com.au.
SecurePay’s XML interface is supported on our PHP servers and the Windows component can be installed if required. eWay is still a recommended gateway provider too; and supported on our Windows and Linux systems.
