ApteanPay setup

Restrictions and other features:

• Aptean Pay does not support capturing an amount greater than the approved amount in pre-authorization. In other words, Aptean Pay doesn't process an authorization capture when the amount increases from the original authorization; however, all the other services do.
• For a refund transaction, Aptean Pay requires a reference payment transaction. Any random refund cannot be processed.
• TPS receipt is not available for Aptean Pay; the provider system will send out a receipt email to the card holder’s email address. If Traverse uses Aptean Pay as the default payment service as set in the SM business rule for Payment Provider, and a customer pays with a credit card, additional information will appear on the receipt. If a customer PO number is provided when processing the payment, that number will be included on the receipt. If there is no customer PO number provided, the invoice number, if available, will be included. If no invoice number is available, the customer ID will be used. This information is also available in the search criteria within the merchant portal.
• Aptean Pay currently supports card-not-present payments only (Debit cards excluded).
• $1 is the minimum amount that can be processed. Anything below $1, including negative amounts, are not allowed.
• Certified for Level 1, 2 and 3 processing.

1. Enter/select 'ApteanPay' for the Name of the ApteanPay setup.
2. If applicable, enter your tenant ID as provided by the payment processor into the Tenant ID field.
3. If applicable, enter your tenant secret as provided by your payment processor into the Tenant Secret field.
4. Select the order type you use with your provider into the Order Type field.
5. To disallow pre-authorizations, select the Disallow Pre-Authorizations check box. For more information, click here.
6. Mark the Staging check box if you are testing the payment service. Clear the check box once you are ready to use the payment service.
7. For Pre-authorizations ONLY:
   • Enter an Overage Percentage, as necessary. The overage percentage must be greater than zero in order for the pre-authorization minimum and maximum amounts to be utilized when calculating the pre-authorization amount.
   • If you entered an overage percentage, enter a Minimum Amount for the pre-authorization overage.
   • If you entered an overage percentage, enter a Maximum Amount for the pre-authorization overage.

Aptean Pay: Default pre-authorization amounts

If you configure Aptean Pay to allow pre-authorizations, you can configure a minimum and/or maximum pre-authorization charge, as well as a percentage used to calculate the default pre-authorization amount for a charge. You might use a pre-authorization amount to account for overages for shipping or other fees incurred during order processing.

The pre-authorization amount is calculated only when you are processing a pre-authorization. If you are not performing a pre-authorization transaction, the net due will be the actual total to pay.

Percentage and overage charge

The percentage affects how the overage charge is determined. By using a percentage to calculate the pre-authorization amount, you can determine an appropriate amount to pre-authorize for the order.

You must have a percentage greater than zero for this functionality to take effect.

The process takes the order total and calculates the percentage of the total (calculated amount). That calculated amount, along with the minimum and maximum charges, determines the pre-authorization amount.

For example:

Assume percentage is not zero. Percentage must be greater than zero.

 

Order total = $100

Percentage = 10

Minimum amount: 20

Maximum amount: 50

The calculated amount is: 10 ($100 * 10% = 10)

Because the calculated amount of 10 is less than the minimum charge of 20, the pre-authorization amount is: $120 (order total + min)

 

Order total = $100

Percentage = 60

Minimum amount: 20

Maximum amount: 50

The calculated amt is: 60 ($100 * 60% = 60)

Because the calculated amount of 60 is greater than maximum charge of 50, the pre-authorization amount is: $150 (order total + max)

 

Order total = $100

Percentage = 30

Minimum amount: 20

Maximum amount: 50

Calculated amt is: 30 ($100 * 30% = 30)

Because the calculated amount of 30 is greater than the minimum charge of 20 but less than the maximum charge of 50, the pre-authorization amount is: $130 (order total + calculated amt)

OpenEdge: If you are going to use a card reader device (EMV/pin pad ), you will need to install RCM Windows_GA.exe. The RCM program has a Device Configure option that will allow you to change the communication port that the device uses if necessary, such as COM4 or COM6.

Vantiv Cloud: There is no additional software to install. Connect the EMV/pin pad directly to the network; the EMV/pin pad is available to multiple users on the network. If you connect the EMV/pion pad device to a port, use the Lane Manager function to pair the device with the port to which it is connected. When a device is plugged into a port and it has not been paired to Express API credentials, it will boot up and display an Activation Code to use in the Lane Manager function. Work with your payment service provider to install the required software to connect and run the card reader.

Vantiv Direct: You must run the triPOS Setup.exe installation. This creates a Windows Service (triPOS.NET) that is required for the EMV/pin pad to work. The default installation path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vantiv. There is also a triPOS.config file created in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Vantiv\triPOS Service folder that may need to be configured. Connect the EMV/pin pad to the computer with triPOS installed; the EMV/pin pad is only available to that computer.

In the AR Payment Methods screen from the AR Setup and Maintenance menu, create a new payment method ID for the credit card processor you are using, and select a Payment Type of 'External'. You set up the external payment method(s) as you would a credit card method such as VISA, so make sure you also select a GL Account and an optional CC Company ID. If you leave CC Company ID blank, open invoices for payments are not created, which eliminates the need to create additional cash receipts to offset the entries.

In the System Manager Business Rules:

Under Defaults – Miscellaneous, select the Payment Provider you want to use.

CAUTION: The Payment Provider business rule must be set in order for the Traverse Payment System to function.

Under TPS Settings:

NOTE: You must select the AR Payment Method for Cayan, OpenEdge, Paypal, Vantiv, and/or ApteanPay. If you do not select a value for one of these AR payment methods, external-type credit card payments will not function correctly.

• Select an AR Payment Method ID for Aptean Pay, as applicable.
• Select an AR Payment Method ID for Cayan, as applicable.
• Select an AR Payment Method ID for Open Edge Express, as applicable.
• Select an AR Payment Method ID for Open Edge, as applicable.

• Select an AR Payment Method ID for Vantiv, as applicable.
• If you want to save a PDF copy of the receipts to the database (archive the receipts), select ‘Yes’ to Use Archive, and enter text for the Archive Watermark.
• If you utilize Level 3 credit card processing, enter a Default Commodity Code to use if there is no commodity code assigned to inventory and non-inventory items. NOTE: If you are unsure whether you use Level 3 processing, contact your credit card processing provider.
• Select an External Payment Processing Type:

  • Select 'Early' to collect funds from the payment provider, as well as record the receipt of funds, before the source transaction is posted. Payment processing occurs when saving a shipped order (transaction is at a 'shipped' status). The external payment process will create a payment on 'New' orders as well as 'Shipped' orders to account for payment that is received before the order is shipped.

  • Select 'Delayed' to collect funds from the payment provider and record the receipt of funds after the source transaction is posted.

If you have workstations that use settings that are different than those you entered in the Payment Service Integration screens, you can use the Workstation defaults option in the User Defaults – Admin function found on the SM Company Setup menu. Use this option to configure a workstation to use a credit card reader, show a print preview (for testing purposes) rather than printing a receipt, or set a workstation up for a different method of utilizing the payment service, such as retail workstations rather than MOTO (mail order/telephone order). You can configure certain workstations to use a Retail account by entering the applicable settings in the workstation defaults screen.

The options that can be set per workstation may differ depending on the payment service you are using. Options may include allowing manual entry, device type, print mode, prompting for signature, terminal ID, and lane ID, among others.

To set up workstation defaults, open the User Defaults – Admin function from the SM Company Setup menu.

1. Select ‘Workstation’ as the Type of default from the drop-down list.
2. In the Workstation field, if you are entering a new workstation, enter the workstation name into the field. If you are editing the workstation, select it from the drop-down list.
3. If you are entering a new workstation, you have the option to copy defaults from another workstation by selecting an existing workstation in the Copy From drop-down list.

   

4. The settings for the selected payment service are also available on the Payment Service Integration configuration screen for the payment service. Settings you select in the User Defaults – Admin function will override the global settings on the Payment Service Integration screen. You do not have to enter values for settings you do not want to override.

   The settings outlined in blue are only found on the User Defaults – Admin screen. The settings outlined in red appear in both screens.

   Vantiv/Worldpay

   

   OpenEdge

   

5. If you want the workstation to use a credit card reader, such as in a retail situation, set the DeviceType value to ‘EMV’. If you set the DeviceType value to 'NONE', the user must enter credit card information manually.
6. For Vantiv/Worldpay, if you set the DeviceType to ‘EMV’, and the device has been paired to a port using the Lane Manager function, enter the Lane ID for the device.
7. By default, the workstation will print the receipt right after the card is processed. A PrintMode value of ‘PRINT’ or blank will perform the default action (print a receipt after the card is processed). If you want the workstation to display a print preview of the receipt, such as during testing, set the PrintMode value to 'DEMO'.

   NOTE: The print preview of the receipt will not allow you to save or print the receipt. If you have archiving turned on in the SM business rules, a PDF of the receipt is saved as an archived document, which will allow you to retrieve the receipt if needed.

8. If the workstation utilizes the payment service differently than others, such as a retail workstation rather than MOTO (mail order/telephone order), you can configure the workstation to use a Retail account by entering the applicable settings.
9. When you are finished editing settings, click the Save button on the toolbar.

NOTE: To view the saved workstation defaults, you must close the User Defaults – Admin screen, then reopen it.

1. The consumer makes a purchase: The consumer starts by presenting their payment credentials to a merchant. This can be done in a variety of ways including keying a card number on a website, using a mobile app, or swiping/dipping a card at a point of sale.
2. The merchant relays the payment request to a gateway: Merchants may have their own custom application (a website or mobile app for example) or they may rely on a third-party shopping cart or integrated point of sale provider already integrated to a gateway.
3. The gateway provider receives the request: When the gateway provider receives a transaction, they typically relay authorizations or other instructions to a payment processor. Some large gateways have relationships with a specific processor, while others have connections to multiple processors.
4. The payment processor facilitates the transaction: On receipt of a request from the gateway, the payment processor relays the request to the appropriate card brand that will in turn route the request to the appropriate issuing bank for authorization. Assuming there are sufficient funds and the account is in good standing, the bank and card brand will relay an approval back to the processor that will in turn be relayed to the gateway and ultimately the merchant. The payment processor facilitates the movement of money from the cardholder’s issuing bank (who is essentially loaning the consumer money until they pay their credit card bill) to the appropriate merchant bank account.
