Increase conversion, reduce fraud costs and streamline the check-out experience with the trusted convenience of Amazon Pay. With the LimeLight Amazon Pay integration, current Amazon customers can subscribe to your offers using information already stored in their Amazon account, without ever leaving your site.

You must obtain the Seller ID and MWS Auth Token from their Amazon Seller Central prior to setting up the Amazon Pay gateway.

Sign Up for Amazon Pay

You will first need to sign up for an Amazon Pay account. For more information on signing up for Amazon Pay reference Amazon’s step by step guide.

Once you signed up for Amazon Pay https://sellercentral.amazon.com/ to open the Seller Central website. Seller Central is an easy-to-use website where you will manage the integration of your website with Amazon Pay, download settlement reports, and manage disputes.

• You will find your credentials  under Integration >MWS Access Key

Configuring Amazon Pay in LimeLight

After signing up for your Amazon Pay account, you can enable your Amazon Pay as a gateway provider in your platform.

To configure Amazon Pay Gateway into your Lime Light CRM, you will go to Payments > Gateways > Actions > Add a New Provider Profile and select Amazon Pay (Alternative Payment) from the Provider drop down menu  and fill out the gateway parameters.

These parameters are briefly described here for your reference:

Alias: Create a name for this profile.  For internal purposes only, it helps you identify your gateway among several others in your CRM.

Seller ID: This uniquely identifies the merchant. You get this identifier from Amazon Seller Central.

Access Key: You get this identifier from Amazon Seller Central.

Secret Key: You get this identifier from Amazon Seller Central.

Client ID: You get this identifier from Amazon Seller Central.

Client Secret: You get this identifier from Amazon Seller Central.

Currency: Amazon Pay currently supports USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD currencies.

Test Mode: Set to YES if you would like to use this gateway in test mode (will send requests to your sandbox).

Once your gateway profile has been created then you will go to your campaign, select Amazon Pay as the Payment Type and assign the AMazon Pay gateway.

Configure Amazon Pay In Storefront

To configure Amazon Pay navigate to Advanced Settings > check the Amazon Pay box >  enter in the same Seller ID and Client ID as entered in the LimeLight Platform > select the Button Color & Button Size that you want on your site > check the Sandbox box if the gateway profile is set to Test Mode = Yes in the platform > Save Changes

The Amazon Pay widget is now enabled in the checkout flow. You can change the button color and size at any time.

Notes: We recommend performing a couple of test transactions before taking live transactions.

• Be sure to update both WordPress and the LimeLight platform when switching from test mode to live.

LimeLight has taken the inline widget setup work out of your hands with our WordPress Storefront plugin.  All you have to do is configure your credentials and you are ready to start taking payments through BoltPay!

Please Note:

• Recurring subscriptions are NOT supported through LimeLight BoltPay integration.

BoltPay must be configured in your LimeLight application. For further information on how to integrate BoltPay with Limelight click here

Configure BoltPay In Storefront

Get started building your WordPress website from the beginning. In just a few steps you can have a WordPress website ready to be customized and connected to your LimeLight platform! 

You will need to determine your domain and web hosting. The domain will be your website url – for example mysitename.com. The Host will connect your site to the Internet.

WordPress itself is free.  There are several domain name and hosting options out there. You can find free options, but you will give up some flexibility, for example your domain name will probably have to contain the host name (like  yourbusiness.my-free-website.com).  Otherwise you can choose one of the paid options for a small monthly fee, generally around $3 – $7 dollars.

Once you have decided on a hosting service, you will need to sign up and register your domain.

Next you will need a theme for your site. We recommend using a Bootstrap 4 theme. Bootstrap 4 themes can be found by clicking here

ou can search for WordPress approved themes. Search for a premium theme by clicking ‘Premium Themes’ or search for a free theme by clicking ‘WordPress.org Themes.’ For our recommended list of themes that work well with the LimeLight Storefront plugin, check out this article

You can upload a custom theme that you have created or purchased. To upload a custom theme .zip file that is not in the WordPress approved theme list, click Appearance, click Add New theme > Upload Theme > Choose File > Select .zip file > Install Now

Once the file is successfully installed, click Activate.  You are now able to customize your installed theme.

We have created a LimeLight theme that you can use.  It is a custom theme, so if you choose to use it please follow the steps outlined above to upload the theme.

LimeLight StoreFront

Install the LimeLight Storefront Plug In. Information on the setup and Installation of the LimeLight Storefront plug in can be found by clicking here

Upon successful activation, a menu item is created on the left panel called LimeLight Storefront.  Within the LimeLight Storefront menu will be several sub-menus to help you link your LimeLight platform to the Storefront.

To start off, you should already have configured your Campaign, Billing Model & Offers in your Limelight CRM. You will also need to configure an API user in the with proper permissions, and access to the necessary API methods (See API Configuration). Once you have everything setup in your CRM, the next step will be validating your credentials and then importing the desired campaign into your WordPress site. Then you can start editing and uploading images to the imported data. For a detailed walk-through of the next steps, see Limelight-Storefront Configuration & Settings.

Storefront connects to LimeLight via API. Once you input your API credentials and import the campaign and offer into the WordPress plugin, the plugin will generate all of the pages needed for your site to create prospects, members, new orders and subscriptions. In addition, our Value Added Services are easily integrated with just a few clicks.

Once the pages are generated, you’ll want to add some content to the pages with product photos and any upsells you’ll be offering to fully tailor it to your campaign. Now you’re all set! Once that campaign is over, just update your settings, import the new campaign and offer and new pages will be generated with the details that are ready to be tailored to the campaign.

Launch Your Site

Once you have completed your LimeLight Storefront setup & theme customization you are ready for the world to see your site!

This guide serves as a quick and easy route to getting your plugin setup and fully integrated with your CRM. The below sections give detail into what each entails. At the end of this process you should have your Limelight Campaign imported with all the products and have a fully-functional shopping cart, ready to allow your customers to checkout.

Getting Started

Storefront connects to LimeLight via API.

In addition, many of our Value Added Services are easily integrated with just a few clicks.

Once the pages are generated, you’ll want to add some content to the pages with product photos and any upsells you’ll be offering to fully tailor it to your campaign. Now you’re all set! When that campaign is over, just update your settings, import the new campaign and offer and new pages will be generated with the details that are ready to be tailored to the new campaign.

How It Works

Note: While products can be added directly to the plugin, we recommend that you add new products to your LimeLight platform and import them to the WordPress plugin to ensure that the products are created correctly.

Categories and Tags

Shop Category

Products > Categories > Click on the Shop link

WordPress Categories and Tags are different than LimeLight Categories and tags, for more information on WordPress Categories and Tags check out this article.

Your imported products will use WordPress’ `taxonomy` and `categorization` features. The products are automatically put into the primary top-level “Shop” category. The child category is then pulled from the CRM for each product and secondarily categorized.

In your “Shop” category, you can edit the title and description like any other WordPress category. When a customer visits the “Shop” or a child category in your storefront, the related products will show using the WordPress archiving and listing functionality.

All of the Categories associated to your imported products will also be automatically created.  You can click on the Count link to see the list of your products with that category.

Other categories and tags can be created within the plugin; however they will not be synced to your LimeLight platform.

Upsells

Upsells > All Upsells is where you add the upsells to be automatically included in your checkout flow.  You can add any product from your LimeLight platform that is active, the upsell does not need to be assigned to the campaign imported to your Storefront.

NO, they will not work together! Limelight CRM’s “Limelight-Storefront” plugin is completely different from “WooCommerce”. In fact, using both plugins together will more than likely cause conflicts and errors. Limelight-Storefront does not just integrate and import your products from your Limelight CRM, but also functions as a full-featured shopping cart with checkout & membership functionalities. So please don’t activate and use both plugins together.

WooCommerce themes may not work with Limelight-Storefront. Some themes built specifically for WooCommerce might work, but we do not officially support using WooCommerce themes with our plugin. You may need to do styling adjustments for some, and some may not work altogether. Unless you are coding/designing yourself from scratch, we recommend using a Bootstrap 4 theme as a starting point for your shop. Click here if you need help Developing WordPress Themes.

WooCommerce “Extensions/Add-Ons” will not work with Limelight-Storefront. Any add-ons designed for WooCommerce are not for our plugin. However, other plugins non-specific to WooCommerce should work alongside our plugin.

MemberMouse is a WordPress membership plugin. Simply download the plugin and upload it to your WordPress installation and you instantly get a flexible and feature-rich platform to grow almost any type of business.

In order to activate the integration of MemberMouse in your CRM, you will go to Clients and Fulfillment>Membership. Click on the “Actions” drop down selection to add a new MemberMouse profile.

• Lime Light CRM Domain: This is the URL of your Lime Light CRM install so that we know which account to apply the profile to.
• Post Back URL: This is the MemberMouse post back URL. You’ll find this URL on the Payment Methods screen in the Lime Light configuration form under Post Back URL within the MemberMouse portal.
• Alias: This is the name of the profile that will show up in the Lime Light CRM so you can identify which site it’s related to.

This provider will be assigned at the campaign level, so you will need a separate member site profile in your CRM for each member site that you activate. Once the profile has been created, you will go through your campaigns and assign it to those campaigns that you want to assign the member site to, and your profile can be assigned to a Lime Light CRM campaign once you select Third Party Providers under the Options menu.

 Please navigate to the MemberMouse Support page for a detailed description on how to configure this on the MemberMouse side.
