Admin Setup - Payment Gateway

A payment gateway is required in order to accept credit and debit card payments within Vega and through widgets on your website. The payment gateway will process the credit card details and settle funds into your bank account.

Before setting up a gateway for the first time, we recommend reviewing the knowledge base article for your gateway to confirm the correct settings and requirements are set. Stripe is the preferred gateway for Vega and they offer a non-profit rate on their fees.

You can connect to a gateway from Admin > Payment Gateway. Please note that you will need an administrator to set this for your organisation.

For New Zealand customers, the main suppliers are:

• Stripe
• Flo2Cash
• Windcave / Payment Express / DPS
• Paystation

If you don't currently have a gateway, you may apply for one by clicking on the links above.

To set up your payment gateway:

• Go to the ‘Admin’ Section in Vega (If you cannot see this on your main top menu bar, you may not have the authorisation to access it, and will need to seek permission from your System Administrator)
• Click ‘Payment Gateway’ from the menu on the left-hand side

• Select the provider from the dropdown and click Add

• Depending on your chosen gateway, different information will need to be entered to set this up.
  
  

If your organisation is using a payment gateway not listed above, please contact us at support@vega.works to discuss how we can help.

Changing payment gateways

Multiple payment gateway credentials can be saved within Vega however only one gateway can be used for all payment processing.

Vega stores tokenised card data only, with the credit card details being stored with the payment gateway provider. If you have saved cards or recurring payments which you would like to maintain, you will need to contact your payment gateway provider regarding your options.
