We’ve recently released the new (and improved) Yoco Web App to replace the original Yoco Business Portal!
If you haven’t yet made the switch, and are still using the old Business Portal to manage your profile, get the Yoco and Shopstar User Guide here.

How do I activate Yoco payments for my Shopstar website?
Step 1: Sign up with Yoco
To receive payments with Yoco, you need a Yoco profile. Please continue to Step 2 if you’re already part of our community.
Step 2: Install Yoco for Shopstar on your website
Find your unique Yoco API keys in your Payment Gateway page in the Sales tab of your Yoco Web App here.
Copy the Live Public key and the Live Secret key. (You can use the Test keys first if you like, to test if your payments work with a test card. The Live keys are for real transactions).
3. Log in to your Shopstar back office.
4. Go to ‘Settings > Payments’.
5. Paste the Secret key & Public key.
6. Scroll down & choose ‘Save’.
You’ve now linked Yoco to your Shopstar website and are ready to take payments on your website!
Step 3: Do a test transaction to make sure you’re all set
Although not required, we recommend that you test that the integration is working smoothly end-to-end by processing a small amount for payment – no less than R2.00 (ZAR). This gives you peace of mind that everything is running as expected.
