Standard steps include installing the add-on, entering merchant details (Merchant ID, Public/Private Keys), activating sandbox mode for testing, and configuring webhooks to synchronize payment statuses. Once the forms are verified, the environment can be switched to production and the new payment methods can be made available to donors.
