There are a few steps to take to set up Windcave as a payment gateway on your Rocketspark shop, this help guide will walk you through the steps to set this up.
About Windcave (formerly known as Payment Express or DPS)
Windcave is a long-established gateway used and trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide. It's a reliable way for customers to pay you online using their credit or debit card. Funds will appear in your bank account automatically, usually the next business day.
In order to use Windcave for your gateway, you will need a merchant account with your bank. If you are already processing credit cards in your offline shop, you may already have a merchant account and this simplifies the setup process. If you don't already have a merchant account, Windcave will assist you with getting one.
To get started with Windcave you can complete an application form from your Rocketspark dashboard and an account manager will be in touch.
Setting up Windcave
- Go to the Rocketspark Dashboard -> Manage Store -> Payment Gateways. Select Windcave and click Setup new account.
- Complete the application form - some of your contact details may be pre-filled to make this quicker. Windcave can also provide EFTPOS facilities, so tick the EFTPOS box if you are interested in this service as well.
- A Windcave account manager will make contact within 2 business days and assist with the setup process.
To get your merchant account approved, your bank would potentially want to check if your website complies with certain requirements. In response to that, we recommend you to:
- Make sure you have Terms & Conditions set up properly;
- Make sure you have a valid address shown on your site;
- You don't need to really set your website live if you are not ready, though, you'll need to flick that website online/offline toggle to be "on" in your dashboard, and send the trial website address (in the format of yourdomainname.rocketspark.co.nz) to the bank so that they can examine on the draft site;
- It's a good idea to also set up bank deposit as a temporary payment gateway for your shop so that your bank can experience the purchase journey on your website;
- When your account is ready, you will be provided with a PxPay User ID and PxPay Key (similar to a username and password).
- Return to the Rocketspark dashboard (Shop settings -> Payment Gateways) and click “Edit settings” next to Windcave.
- Enter the PxPay User ID and PxPay Key that were provided by Windcave.
- Enable Payment Express by changing the toggle from red to green.

Rocketspark can enable the Add Billing Card feature which saves your customer's cards into the Payment Express client login area. From here you can add Scheduled/Recurring payments or charge the card again. To get this setup please email support@rocketspark.com and we can enable this for you. You will also need to contact support@paymentexpress.com to have them enabled the recurring billing feature at their end as well.
