Step 2: Navigate to the ADMIN Section

Once logged in, locate and click on the “My Account” tab in the dashboard.
From the dropdown menu, select “ADMIN” to access administrative settings.

Step 3: Access Store Settings

In the ADMIN section, find and click on “Store Settings”.
This will take you to the page where you can manage various store configurations.

Step 4: Generate an API Token

Within Store Settings, look for the “API Token” section.
Click on the “Generate API Token” button.
A new API Token will be created. Copy and securely store this token, as you will need it for integration purposes.

Install

Install Moneris Direct CA Gateway for WooCommerce on staging. For the hosted checkout product, use the Moneris Checkout guide instead.

Config

WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Moneris Direct CA. Enter Store ID and API Token. Save. Keep the plugin in test mode until a sandbox purchase completes.

Sandbox

Use Moneris test store credentials and test cards from the current Moneris developer docs. Confirm the WooCommerce order captures a Moneris reference and that refund/void from the order screen works if your account allows it.

Going live

Replace test Store ID / API Token with the live store. Run one low-value live charge and refund it. Confirm the production store is the Canada Direct / eSELECTplus store you intended—not a Checkout profile.

Common problems

API Token regenerated in Moneris after you saved the plugin — paste the new token.
Using Checkout ID here. Checkout credentials belong on the Checkout SKU, not Direct CA.
No methods at checkout — see no payment methods available.
