Another important part of setting up your FlexPay account is adding your payment gateways. Like the previous aspect, adding gateways is also fairly simple.
Adding Your Payment Gateway
1. In the left navigation menu under ADMIN, select "Payment gateways".
2. If you're looking to add a gateway with the intention of performing sandbox testing, please make sure you select Sandbox as seen below. Gateways added in this mode will never hit a production endpoint, you can read more in our API docs:
3. On the top header next to your account name, click on the down arrow in the "All companies" menu to display and select the company you wish to add the gateway to. Click on your company/product (it will be the one highlighted light grey).
4. Click the “ADD GATEWAY” button. A drop-down menu with the list of available gateways will open up. Select the gateway you wish to create.
4. Now fill in the following form on the “Add a payment gateway” popup.
PAYMENT GATEWAY DETAILS
Complete the following fields:
Name: Name of the company being setup
Bank type: Select the appropriate bank type from the drop-down menu.
Bank currency: Normally this currency is dependent on where the company is located (e.g. USD for United States etc.).
Category code: This is the merchant category code assigned to your merchant account.
Processing status: We want to set this as “Enabled” when setting it up. We can set this to “Refund Only” to stop all transaction processing on this gateway.
Merchant account reference id: This field is for reporting purposes. Depending on the external CRM this will show which MID a transaction was sent in addition to stating it was handled by FlexPay.
CVV required: Check this box if the cvv is required by the payment gateway.
GATEWAY SPECIFIC SETTINGS
As you scroll down in the popup, you will see the following section:
You may need to log into your merchant account to obtain the "Company Id", "Password", "Company hash" information.
ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS
Continue scrolling to the payment methods section and fill it out.
There will be options for Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, Dinners Club, and JCB. Be sure to deselect the credit, debit, or prepaid and gift card options by unchecking each that you want disabled, since they are all enabled by default.
PAYMENT ROUTING CONFIGURATION
Allowed currencies: Ensure that the same currency is checked off as the “Bank currency” which is in the “PAYMENT GATEWAY DETAILS” section, as well as any other allowed currency.
Initial Distribution: This is the distribution ratio that your transactions will be sent by. Set this to “1” to enable routing to this gateway. You can go higher if you want it to favor this payment gateway.
Allows retries: We can leave this enabled with it toggled to green. This will allow transactions to be retried by our system when they are entered into our decline salvage.
PROCESSING FEES
For the processing fees, enter the rates charged by your merchant account so that this information can be tracked by FlexPay.
Once all the required fields are completed, the faded out green “ADD GATEWAY” button at the bottom of the screen will become highlighted. If this is still Greyed out, please check that all fields followed by an asterisk “*” are completed, as they are required.
Click on the green “ADD GATEWAY” button. This will take you back to the “Payment Gateways” where your new gateway should be displayed in the tabled list. You can edit any gateway by clicking on the kebab menu to the right. Repeat steps 1-4 until you have added all your Payment Gateways.
