Overview

You can add a new Payment Gateway by following the steps below.

For settings specific to your payment gateway, please see Payment Gateway Configuration by Client.

Special Note: Payment Gateway configuration and integration are extremely sensitive settings with respect to security of payment card and other personally identifiable information. You should carefully control and routinely monitor your Payment Gateway(s). Given your role as controller of the data that flows through the gateway, you should limit access to this module to your qualified, authorized resources, and ensure compliance with PCI and other applicable data security and privacy laws, regulations and standards.

Adding a Payment Gateway

Getting Here: Click Configuration > Payments > Payment Gateways.

Click New.
Choose the desired Payment Gateway. The Create New Payment Gateway screen displays.

(Above image edited slightly for presentation purposes.)
Complete the fields and options based on information provided to you by your payment gateway. See Payment Gateway Configuration by Client for specific information on supported payment gateways.

Note: When Aria conducts a transaction with a payment gateway, if information is available that is different from the static value you provided, Aria will use the information available at that time and not the static value.
Below the fields for the payment processor are the Processor CVV Result and Processor AVS Result sections, which contain the error code sent from the payment gateway to Aria. These vary depending on the payment gateway. The columns within these sections are as follows:
- Description: A description of the error, which vary depending on the payment gateway.
- Error code if disallowed: The error code returned by the API call used to attempt the authorization when your payment gateway declines the authorization.
- Ignore error code: Select the checkbox next to an error to allow the authorization to complete successfully despite the error. Uncheck the box next to an error to allow the authorization to fail after an error code is returned.
If your payment gateway approves an authorization, then the API call used to attempt the authorization returns error code 0. If your payment gateway declines an authorization, then the API call used to attempt the authorization returns the applicable error code listed under Error code if disallowed.

Note: It is highly recommended that you work closely with your payment gateway to ensure that your CVV and AVS error code settings match their requirements for completing credit card authorizations. If your payment gateway declines an authorization, Aria allows the authorization to fail even if you selected the option to allow the authorization to complete successfully despite an error.

Click Save.

Financial transactions for your accounts will be completed with the payment gateway that you added. If you have more than one payment gateway and/or merchant account, you can create collection account groups to indicate that financial transactions conducted with specific groups of accounts be completed with a particular payment gateway or combination of payment gateway and merchant account.

You must also specify which payment methods you allow your customers to use.
