How we set it up
- 1. Scope — confirm your CIBC Caribbean account and the right e-commerce product.
- 2. Credentials — once CIBC Caribbean approves you, we configure your gateway securely.
- 3. Test — approved, declined and cancelled payments, then a real live payment.
- 4. Go live — takings settle in Your local currency and/or US dollars, as agreed with CIBC Caribbean.
