Going live
After you have finished configuring your site and have tested thoroughly, follow the final steps below to begin processing live payments.
Before you continue…
Most acquiring banks mandate that 3-D Secure is performed prior to AUTH requests.
If 3-D Secure is not implemented, you could be liable for fines from the card schemes.
Ensure you have contacted your acquiring bank and have configured 3-D Secure, if required.
You must ensure your servers are PCI compliant before processing live payments.
For further information, we recommend contacting your acquiring bank.
It is crucial that you have read and understood the practices outlined in our best practices and testing documents.
You will need to ensure your system can submit requests using your test sitereference (starts with “test_”) and handle both successful and failure responses before processing live payments.
Rules for live site reference
When you are ready to switch your account live, you will need to consider any Rules that may have been configured on your test Site Reference, as these will need to be re-configured on your live site reference to ensure they update your system as expected. Click here for our Rule documentation.
Styling for Payment Pages
If you are processing payments using our Payment Pages interface and have applied custom styling to your test site reference using HTML, CSS and/or JavaScript, these changes will also need to be applied to your live site reference.
Get in touch
Once you have tested your system and you are ready to go live, please send an email to [email protected] with your live site reference and request to go live. You will receive a response when your live site reference is ready to begin processing payments.
Make changes to your requests
Your requests will need to be updated to use your live site reference. This is achieved by modifying the sitereference field submitted to Trust Payments. When your live site reference is submitted in a request, it will be processed as a live request.

Live testing
Once you have switched to your live site reference, we recommend that you test this by performing a transaction using a live card, to ensure it is processed successfully. You can sign in to MyST to manage your transactions. Therefore you can cancel transactions processed on live cards.
Remember to sign in to MyST and to check your transactions regularly to ensure payments are being processed successfully.
If you need assistance, please contact our Support team.
JavaScript Library (version 1)
If you are integrating with us for the first time, we strongly recommend using the latest version of our JavaScript Library.
Install a library
We provide libraries for the Python and PHP programming languages. Alternatively, it is possible to use cURL in a variety of other languages. These libraries consist of functions that can be referenced within your program body without defining them explicitly.
We recommend that you follow the instructions below to download and install your preferred library on your server.
If you plan on using your own library to process requests, you will need to read “Configuring your own library“.
Python To install our Python library, you can use ‘pip‘, which is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. Alternatively, you can download the package from https://github.com/Secure-Trading/st-python-api and install the library manually. PHP You can use the following command to install our PHP library. Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will install and update them for you. cURL Provided your system already has cURL installed, no additional installation is required. Please ensure that any additional debugging enabled whilst testing your integration is disabled prior to going live. Failing to do so may contravene the requirements needed to maintain PCI compliance. You have now installed a library on your server, and you can use this to send requests to our gateway. Read on to learn how to process your first request. You can use our JavaScript Client SDK (“st.js”) to process payments without submitting the customer’s card details to your server, thereby simplifying the audit process for PCI DSS. Your server-side payment form must assign all card details with the attribute “data-st-field”. During payment form submission, “st.js” will tokenise all fields with the attribute “data-st-field” to create a unique cachetoken. This cachetoken is then submitted to your server, along with all other fields that do not have the attribute “data-st-field”. The following is an example of a payment form: To use the Client SDK, reference our “st.js” in your webpage’s HTML mark-up, as demonstrated in the payment form example above. You must ensure that your payment form has been assigned the id “st-payment”. The following are required fields and must be included in the payment form: After the customer clicks “Pay”, these fields are used to generate a unique cachetoken that will later be posted to your server, for the purpose of processing requests. Any input fields that have the attribute “data-st-field” are transmitted directly to Trust Payments from the customer’s browser session in a secure manner. This means that these sensitive payment details are never submitted to your server. A “div” element with attribute id=”st-message” is required, in order for invalid field and connection errors to be displayed, in cases when ‘st.js’ fails to generate a cachetoken. If there is an error during the cachetoken generation process, the optional CSS included in the server-side payment form example will highlight any invalid input fields on the form and style the error message returned. Ensure the action in the server-side payment form is a valid URL address hosted on your server. The address specified must be able to take the generated cachetoken and all fields without the “data-st-field” attribute, which are submitted to the Server SDK as a JSON request. If you need to perform additional tasks after the cachetoken has been passed to the customer’s browser session, but before the payment form details are submitted to your server, you can do so by passing the submitFormCallback parameter to the SecureTrading.Standard library. The response messages can be returned to the customer in the following languages: By default, the response is returned in English. In order to change the default language, simply change the locale value in the payment form example above. To return the response in the English language, set the locale to ‘en_gb’. An example of a message returned to the customer – “There has been a problem with your payment, please verify your details and try again.” You can process successful transactions by submitting the following test card numbers: Other cards are supported. Click here for further testing credentials. You should now have a basic form that can be used to collect the customer’s payment details and send a cachetoken to your server. The following describes how you can reference the SDK functions within your program body to submit a request to our servers. You can create a Web Services user using our MyST interface. Your system will need to submit this username in every request, along with the password. In our request examples we use a placeholder username and password, which you will need to replace with your own credentials before testing. If you don’t already have Web Services credentials, click here to learn how to configure this. Your server will now need to generate a request. For example: You must use a valid domain that is accessible by Trust Payments. You will need to submit the generated request to the Trust Payments library installed above. The following are examples of how to perform a request for each tool and programming language we currently support. Your system will be returned numerous fields in the response object. You will need to interpret the contents of these fields to ensure they are the values expected. The following is an example of an AUTH response: It is especially important to check the Error Code and settle status values returned in the response. In addition to processing authorisations, Trust Payments supports numerous other request types. For further information on these request types, please refer to the other pages within our online documents. Summary At this point, you should be able to process a basic request using our Webservices API. Next steps We’re here to help We hope that you find our online help resource to be useful.
