I was using PayPal as online payment gateway to get paid against my product and services worldwide, But As you know PayPal did not allow services in Pakistan and it can block anytime, So I applied at skrill to integrate with my e-commerce site, designed through Prestashop.
I installed skrill free module as a payment gateway, But within configuration it asked “My Secret Word” to integrate with my skrill account, Which I did not have, Actually Secret word is not your password, Its just like API to integrate your website to payment gateway securely.
I accessed at my skrill account to get it, But nothing found, After that, I contacted with skrill team to provide my secret word, So they send its reply as given bellow;
