Bank Reconciliation Summary - Reconciled Transactions

 

Microkey Solutions offers InnoEPay as its preferred Payment Gateway provider.

The InnoEPay Setup Process, once completed, offers a virtually automatic Payment Gateway process thereafter.

No EFT Info information (see below) is required when using InnoEPay.

See the InnoEPay chapter for that information.

When your Company implements the InnoEPay Payment Gateway, this will be the only Payment Gateway that you'll ever need.

An exception to that would be when there is more than one Bank into which your Company will be making Deposits via InnoEpay transactions.

 

In that case, each InnoEPay Payment Gateway will make deposits directly into only one Bank.

Therefore, when your Company is using additional Banks for depositing InnoEpay transactions, your Company will need to get additional keys and have additional InnoEPay Payment Gateways records defined.

Consider a naming method such as InnoEPay-Bank1, InnoEPay-Bank2, etc., with the actual Bank Name used in each case.

 

If your Company does tokenize Credit Cards, all Tokens will be based on the default Payment Gateway, so all the InnoEPay Payment Gateways will automatically recognize those Tokens. 

 

EFT Info tab

The Electronic Funds Transfer Process is setup and executed as follows when your Company is not using an Automatic Payment Gateway such as Authorize.net, Forte.net, and the preferred InnoEPay Gateway.

a)Manual Payment Gateway services - If you (will) use Electronic Funds Transfer to Auto Draft your Subscribers (usually for Recurring Revenue related Payments and when using the E-Payments Form), only enter information in the EFT sub-tab (or the appropriate sub-tab representing the Processor Services being defined) on the EFT Info tab on the Bank Form for a Bank/Agency/Company that provides Manual Payment Gateway services and information is required to support that Bank.  

b)Automatic Payment Gateway services - When using an Automatic Payment Gateway, (Authorize.net, Forte.net, InnoEPay - which is the Preferred Gateway) everything is controlled internally so the Bank which will receive those payments on your Company's behalf is defined here and associated with that Automatic Payment Gateway record.

 

To do so, access the Bank Form as described above.

Click the Search Icon on the Navigation Menu (see the "Using the Special Functions on the Navigation Menu at the top of the Bank Form" section below).

Click on the Bank Name to be updated with EFT Information.

 

HelpFilesBankEFTInfoTab

 

Once the required Bank is located, Choose the appropriate Payment Processor sub-tab to enter the required EFT information.

Each Bank that is providing Manual Payment Gateway services must have its own Bank record defined and will also need to require EFT Processor information.

Note 1: The data in the fields shown in the illustrations below is fictional, the actual data - required and supplied by the currently selected Bank - will be different.
