You can set up Members360° to automatically authorize credit card payments, assuming that you have an Affiniscape Merchant Solutions account with a Plug'n Pay gateway account. All end-user credit card transactions can be automatically processed, and transactions entered by an administrator can be processed or not processed at the discretion of the administrator.
From Accounting > Tools and Customizations, click the Manage payment gateways. link to set up your payment gateway info. If you already have an entry on this page, you will probably want to leave it as is unless you know specifically that it needs to be changed.
If there are no entries on this page, and you know the username and password to your Plug'n Pay account, then click Add in the upper right to set up your gateway. This will lead you to the following page:
Fill out the fields as shown below.
Description: Type in a short description of the gateway account. If you only have one account, then just put Default Account or Default Plug'n Pay or something similar as the description. If you are setting up multiple gateways for different purposes, use the Description field to notate what the gateway in question is used for.
User Name: Enter the Plug'n Pay username here. This is the same user name you use to log in to www.plugnpay.com.
Password: Enter the Plug'n Pay password here. This is the same password you use to log in to www.plugnpay.com.
Note: If you don't know the username and/or password for your Plug'n Pay account, talk to your primary accounting contact at your association, or contact Affiniscape Merchant Solutions.
Email: Enter the email address that should be contacted in case of problems with credit card authorizations (such as bad or fraudulent card attempt notifications). Normally, this should be set to the same email address that's on the Plug'n Pay account.
Accepted Credit Card Types: Choose which credit card types (Amex, Discover, Mastercard, and/or Visa) are accepted by your merchant account. By default, all four are selected; hold CTRL and click to deselect (or re-select) individual card types. If you have a card type highlighted that your merchant account doesn't support, and someone attempts to use that card type, he/she will get errors upon submitting the card info, so make sure your selections match your merchant settings.
When finished, click at the bottom.
Whether you have a single gateway or multiple gateways, you'll save yourself time by choosing the default gateway that you'll be using the most. On the main gateway listing page, just click Set as default for the gateway you'll be using most often, as shown below.
By doing so, the gateway in question will be chosen by default whenever you add a credit card transaction administratively (see Creating new payment receipts), saving you time.
