Getting Started.

To sign up to the NAB Payment Gateway, you must initially complete the 'NAB Merchant Establishment Form' and submit it to the National Australia Bank (NAB) (full instructions are on this form).

Click on the following link to access the NAB Gateway Merchant Establishment Form.pdf

You will need a separate Merchant ID for each payment option that you are implementing:

Parent Lounge Account Payment
Parent Lounge Events and Payments
Parent Lounge Extra Curricular
Commercial Debtors Online Payments Portal

The Merchant ID's are required for TASS.web Setups, so take note of each number. You will also need to match each to a payment option (do not use the same Merchant ID for both).

Account Payment Merchant ID: _________________

Events and Payments Merchant ID: ___________________

Extra Curricular Merchant ID: _______________________

Commercial Debtors Merchant ID: _________________

Information for Network Administrators.

The following configurations represent mandatory requirements for integration to the NAB Payment Gateway:

Proxy and Firewall must allow outbound and inbound HTTPS connections as required by your banking provider.
Ensure that the proxy does not cache the 'Payment Notification' page.
The TASS.web webserver must have installed a valid SSL certificate chain issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This includes correctly installed Web Server and Intermediate CA certificates tested via an SSL provider online application.
