Beanstream Credit Card Payment Module
This is a payment module for Beanstream Credit Cards. You must have an account with them first to use it. If you do not have an account, we can assist you in getting approved and installation.

Unzipping and Uploading
After you have downloaded the Beanstream Credit Card module for your store, please use a tool like Winrar, WinZip or similar to unzip the contents of the ZIP file you downloaded. Now check the extracted files, you should an "app" folder.

Then you are ready to upload your files. Open your favorite FTP/SFTP/SCP client and connect to the server with your Magento installation. Navigate to the root folder of the Magento installation, in other words the folder that contains folders like "app", "skin", "js", "lib" and more. Then, upload the extracted folders directly into the root of your Magento installation. Your FTP client will not overwrite any files, it will only upload the new files that come with the software.

Configuration
After you have uploaded the files, you need to login to your Magento administration panel and refresh your cache by going to System > Cache management. Choose "Select All" and click "Refresh", so the cache gets updated. Then, go to your System > Configuration page and select Payment Methods. Verify that you have a new option called "Beanstream" in the Payment Methods page. If you can see it there, Beanstream Credit Card has been installed correctly.

There are 2 payment actions to choose from: authorise and authorise & capture. If you set it to ‘authorise’ you will get an authorisation code which basically means that those funds have been ‘set aside’ for you but havent been taking out of their account yet. That code is used when you want to ship the order and actually take the money.Authorise and capture takes the funds at the moment the order is placed.



Testing
After you have configured the module, you need to make sure it is tested properly. Please open your Magento website in a browser, add a product to your cart, and then navigate to the payment methods and see how it looks. If the checkout looks good and everything seems to be working, please make a few test purchases with the following test credit card numbers:
