When you are setting up ecommerce with Cybersource, you will need to do the following:

1. Set up your credit card gateway account with Cybersource.

2. Be sure that your Cybersource account is in LIVE mode (not Test mode).  This is CRITICAL.

3. Upload the SOAP key to your site via the Manage Store Page: to generate a SOAP key, see the steps below: 

1. In a separate browser window (or tab), log into your CyberSource Business Center.
2. Navigate to: Payment Configuration -> Key Management 
3. Click on Generate Key.
4. Select "Transaction Processing"
5. Select "SOAP"
6. Copy the long text string which appears in the text area (yes, it's ugly!).
7. Now, on this page (back on AlumniMagnet), click the green CyberSource Security Key button below this message.
8. Your Merchant ID should already be in the first field. Please paste the string you copied in Step 6 into the text area below.
9. Click on the blue Update CyberSource Security Key button.
10. Finally, perform a transaction of $2 using a real credit card and check to make sure everything works.

Once (1) you're done with the setup and (2) we have configured your Magnet website to work with your Cybersource account, you will need to test your ecommerce setup. Click here for instructions.

IMPORTANT: your CyberSource p12 file has an expiration date (usually 2 years from the day you created it). You need to generate and submit a new one (by repeating the procesa above) before it expires to avoid ecommerce disruption.  Since we have no control over your CyberSource account, this is something you need to do.
