Setup Guide for
Magento and BlueSnap
This manual is meant to show you how to connect your Magento store with your newly created BlueSnap
account. It will show step-by-step instructions. For any further help, please contact BlueSnap merchant
support at [email protected]
Setting up BlueSnap
BlueSnap offers two environments:
 Sandbox – OPTIONAL. For testing only. Transactions processed in the Sandbox environment will
never charge a credit card.
 Production – REQUIRED. You must set this up to process live transactions through your store.
Optional – for test environment only
Create your Sandbox environment here: https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/jsp/developer_login.jsp.
Once you have opened a sandbox account, write an email to [email protected], requesting to
run an on-boarding script for your sandbox account. Include your Sandbox BlueSnap Merchant account
ID and your Magento store domain (for instance http://www.yourbestbuys.net) This procedure will open
a ticket for you in our merchant support system, and within 3 days you should receive an update
confirming that your sandbox account is ready.
Proceed to step 2 only after you have received confirmation that your Sandbox account is ready.
1. Your BlueSnap account will be the first step in the process. BlueSnap's sales representative has
provided you with a Production merchant ID, containing seven digits starting with the numbers
"108…". You also have received credentials to login to your Production account. If you have not yet
received a set of credentials or your Production merchant ID, please contact your BlueSnap sales
representative.
