Following prerequisites are required for configuring the WorldPay gateway in your Chargebee site:
Create and set up your merchant account with WorldPay. Chargebee integrates with the WorldPay's Worldwide Payment Gateway (WPG) platform.
You must obtain the following details from your WorldPay account:
Log in to your WorldPay business account, click Profile and you can get the above details.
To configure WorldPay in Chargebee, follow the below steps:
Click Settings > Configure Chargebee > Payment Gateway > Add payment Gateway.

To update the Cards Settings for WorldPay, follow these steps:
Click Settings > Configure Chargebee > Payment Gateways > WorldPay, and click the Manage link in the Cards section. The Cards Settings page is displayed. Configure the following settings based on your business requirements:
Cards verification: WorldPay mandates this setting to be enabled to process recurring payments faster and for better approval rates. Chargebee verifies the customer's card before adding them. In this process, a small amount will be debited from the customer's card and will be refunded instantly. In case this authorization fails, the customer cannot add their card.
Allow Prepaid cards: Enabling this option allows your customers to use a prepaid card for their transactions.
Always retain card information in WorldPay when the customer updates it: If you have configured multiple payment gateways in Chargebee, enabling this option stores the updated card information in WorldPay rather than the default gateway.
Click Save > Apply.
Worldpay performs a $1 transaction for Card Verification by default. You can have this reduced to $0 by working with your Account Manager from Worldpay. Afterwards, inform Chargebee Support to reduce the authorization amount to $0 in Chargebee's integration to Worldpay.
Webhooks are indispensable when it comes to integrating Chargebee with WorldPay as they pass crucial payment information such as payment status, based on which users can take action. Webhooks in this integration should be configured manually. Learn more about webhooks.
