7 About Payment Processing

Configuring Payment Processing Overview

When configuring a payment process, you are to perform the following set of procedures.

1 Configure payment system.

Payment system, which is the way a customer pays for services. PPAB comes with the set of pre-configured payment systems; you can see them at System > Settings > Payment Processing, the Payment Systems tab. Additionally, you can register particular types of payment systems by choosing from the Type drop-down list. For example, you can register a credit card payment system (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) or a payment system of the bank account type.

2 Set up payment gateway.

The payment gateway (or processing center) is responsible for processing payments. In PPAB, setting up a processing center is configuring its plug-in. This guide is aimed at providing the plug-in overview and the setup instructions. After the plug-in has been configured, it is necessary to activate it at System > Settings > Payment Processing, the Payment Gateways tab.

3 Associate processing center with payment systems.

The associations define the payment gateways that are allowed to process payments of a particular payment system. Both payment system and payment gateway can have several associations. You can associate the same payment system with a number of processing centers, and vice versa. Configuring associations allows assigning particular pair for actual payment processing. PPAB comes with the set of pre-configured associations; however, you can change them or create your own ones.

4 Specify association for actual processing.

From the list of created associations, set up a match between the processing center and the concrete payment system for actual processing. The payments can be processed only with this match established. For example, Visa will be processed by this particular processing center and no other.

For more details on configuring payment processing refer to the respective section of PPAB Provider's Guide.

Configuring AuthorizeNet Plug-in

Setting up AuthorizeNet Plug-in

To start setting up the AuthorizeNet plug-in, you should have a U.S. based bank merchant account. A merchant account is an agreement with a merchant bank that allows you to accept payment by credit and debit card. Make sure, that you have a valid SSL certificate and your Web site is capable of initiating both client and server side SSL connections.

When AuthorizeNet provides you with the merchant account, you obtain login and password to the AuthorizeNet Merchant Interface, host address and port number. Login the Merchant Interface and create your account API Login ID and transaction key. These two values are used by the

processing center to authenticate that you are authorized to submit transactions.

After initial setup, your AuthorizeNet account is placed in test mode by default. AuthorizeNet supports pre-authorization transaction in test mode and does not support capture transaction. Namely, test payment never gets completely charged. It is recommended to use plug-in in test mode until a pre-auth transaction come through successfully (to ensure that configuration and connection settings are right). After this reconfigure the plug-in in real mode and test with a minimum payment amount. There are two ways to turn test mode on or off: through Merchant Interface or through PPAB.

Note: it's recommended to set up the plug-in in test mode. Once you have tested the integration, turn off test mode and go live.

To configure the AuthorizeNet processing center plug-in:

1 Go to System > Settings and select Payments Processing from the Operations group.

Switch to the Payment Gateways tab.

2 Select the plug-in by clicking its name in the Name column. 3 Click Edit to configure the plug-in.

4 Fill out the form: specify the partner account credentials and payment center entry-point details

to set up connection. The configuration parameters are listed in the Plug-in Overview section.

5 When the configuration is finished, click Save.
