This is simply the connection mode to distinguish between a live/production and test/staging account. the Test option is essentially the exact same thing as the Live option, bar the fact that transactions made in Test mode are not actually processed, meaning no actual money is involved.
Recurring Payments
You can use the BluePay extension plugin with your Shopping Cart plugin to have recurring payments on your WordPress website. Everything is built in and easy to setup. It is also fully automatic, logging payments as they reoccur.
Configure BluePay recurring
The first thing you need to do is to configure your BluePay account to notify the Shopping Cart plugin when a recurring payment is made so that the plugin can automatically log recurring payments accordingly on each order.
Go to your BluePay panel and then go to Admin > Accounts > List to see the accounts. For the specific account that you’re using for the site, click on it’s name to view and then on the next screen, click “Edit“.
Under “Email Settings“, you’ll see a setting named “Rebilling POST URL” which you need to fill in. The URL is your shopping cart page URL with ?wpcomethod=recurring&type=bluepay
added to the end of it. So if your shopping cart page URL is http://domain.com/shop/shopping-cart/
the URL to fill into the setting is http://domain.com/shop/shopping-cart/?wpcomethod=recurring&type=bluepay
That’s it, you can save the account settings in BluePay. As a result, each time a reoccuring sale takes place automatically, it will post the data to your server and the Shopping Cart plugin, resulting in the plugin logging a payment on the order.
Create a recurring product
To create a recurring product, go to Checkout > Products and click “Add New” at the top.
For the “Checkout Type“, choose “Recurring Payment” and you will see that the recurring options become available.
Choose your BluePay payment method in the “Payment Method” setting which will make the BluePay specific recurring options/settings available so that you can choose the interval at which the payment for the product should reoccur and also the duration. You can leave the duration empty for infinite cycles.
Receive recurring payments using BluePay
That’s it, you’re done. Your customers can now purchase your recurring product using BluePay and be billed automatically at the interval you specified.
