How do I configure Live and Sandbox modes in Barion?

In your Barion account, you’ll need to set up two separate environments:

  • Sandbox – for testing transactions before going live.
  • Live – for real customer payments.

To set up your Sandbox account, visit the Barion Sandbox and create a business account using dummy data for testing.

For your Live account, visit the Barion registration page and register using your actual business information.

Barion currently supports merchants located only within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Once you’ve created your Barion shop:

  1. Go to Shops → Actions → Details.
Accessing POSKey details in Barion shop details page
  1. Copy the Secret Key (POSKey).
  2. Paste it into Amelia → Settings → Payments → Barion → Secret key (POSKey).

What is the Payee Email and are there any limitations?

The Payee Email is the email address of the Barion wallet that will receive the payments.

It must belong to the same Barion account that owns the webshop connected to Amelia.

You cannot make a payment using the same Barion account that owns the shop. Barion does not allow merchants to purchase from their own store.

Alert Important limitation

When using the Barion payment integration, the Service Description field in Amelia must not exceed 500 characters, or the payment will fail.

Which currencies does Barion support?

Barion currently supports only the following currencies:

  • Hungarian Forint (HUF)
  • Czech Koruna (CZK)
  • Euro (EUR)
  • US Dollar (USD)

Each currency has a minimum payment amount, below which transactions cannot be completed:

Currency Minimum amount
HUF 10 Ft
EUR 0.1 €
USD $0.1
CZK 1 Kč

If a payment amount is below these thresholds, the Barion Smart Gateway displays an error message, and the payment will not go through.

How do Barion payments and payment links work in Amelia?

Barion works just like other Amelia payment gateways when it comes to payment links. You can send a Payment from link to your customers and they’ll be redirected to the Barion Smart Gateway to complete their payment.

For more information about how this feature works, see the Payment from Link in Amelia documentation
