If your customers choose to pay via online payment providers, their credit card info won't be stored in their billing profiles and billing info won't show in the control panel.

   • Server: the server used to run transactions.
   • Port: enter the port to be used.
   • Path: indicate the path.
   Note: Server, port and path should compose the URL where users are redirected for online payments, i.e: https://www.verification.privatbank.ua/SENTRY/PaymentGateway/Application/RedirectLink.aspx
   • Merchant ID: given to you by PrivateBank upon registration.
   • Password: provided by Sentry. You can change it afterwards
   • Test Mode: check it if you want to test your online Sentry transactions. The amount of test transaction shouldn't exceed 1 UAH.
   • Activate: enable Sentry for new signups and existing accounts.

Sentry's IPN system works as follows:

• Customer submits a payment form and Sentry sends notifications about payments made to your notification URL.
• On receiving the payment notification, your server will send the confirmation, including the encrypted code, back to a secure Sentry URL.
• Sentry will authenticate the transaction and send your server a "VERIFIED" or "INVALID" response.
• If verified, the payment is regarded as successfully completed. If you receive an "INVALID" response, it should be treated as suspicious and investigated.
