Locate your Credentials for iPay88

Your credentials for iPay88 will be provided to you by iPay88 once your merchant account is approved for payment processing. If you are not able to find that information, then please contact your account manager at iPay88 so they can help you.

Your website will need to be whitelisted with iPay88 so that you can accept payments and your account manager can help you with this.

Need to test iPay88 with Event Espresso?

Your production/live credentials can be used if they have been already approved for live payment processing. Go to Event Espresso –> Payment Methods –> iPay88 and turn debug mode on and save changes.

Next, create an event called test with a description of test and then a ticket with a cost of 1.00 MYR. The cost can be lower (e.g., 0.75 MYR or 0.45 MYR) but it cannot be any higher than 1.00 MYR. Then publish the event and try registering for it. Once you are finished testing, then be sure to turn debug mode off through the payment methods page for iPay88 and save changes. You can also remove the test event that you created for testing purposes.

Another option for testing is to request a demo account from iPay88 support. You can contact iPay88 support here to request a demo account which can be used for testing: support@ipay88.com.my
