If Active is checked, the Gateway will be shown in the Automatic Billing and the Auto Draft screens, remove the Active Check mark for all Gateways that you do not use and don’t want to see in the system

 

Note:  A Payment Gateway may be set up to be:

i.the Default Payment Processor for Credit Cards transactions, or

ii.the Default Payment Processor for ACH/Check transactions, or

iii.the Default Payment Processor for both Credit Card and ACH/Check transactions, or

iv.Not the Default Payment Processor for any Credit Card or ACH/Check transactions

 

Default Credit Card (Use as default Payment Gateway for credit card transactions):

Although it is unlikely, you could Check this box to identify this Manual Payment Gateway as the one that should be used as the default for processing credit card transactions for those Billing Cycles which have a Check mark in the “Use Default Payment Processor” box of the Processor/Bank for Credit Card payments Check box field

Only one Payment Gateway can be identified as the Default Credit Card Processor.

 

Default ACH/Check (Use as default Payment Gateway for ACH/Check transactions):

Although it is unlikely, you could Check this box to identify this Manual Payment Gateway as the one that should be used as the default for processing ACH/Check transactions for those Billing Cycles which have a Check mark in the “Use the same Credit Card Processor for Bank Account” box of the Processor/Bank for Bank Accts payments field

Only one Payment Gateway can be identified as the Default ACH/Check Processor.

 

Generate Receipts (Create receipts on auto draft generation) - Check this box if this Payment Gateway is to generate a Receipt record within MKMS.

Manual Payment Gateways - This applies only to Manual Gateways and indicates that Receipt records will be created for all Payment Transactions at the moment that the Payment Process is runs, and the Payment Batch is created,

oIf a Payment Batch file is Generated for a Payment Gateway that is not one of the Automatic Payment Gateways (InnoEPay, Authorize.net, and Forte.net) and

oThe “Generate Receipts” check box for the Payment Gateway record is Checked, then the MKS ePay Service:

i.Closes all Payment Transaction of the Payment Batch and tags them as approved

ii.Creates the Receipts for all Payment Transactions

iii.Allocates the Receipt to the corresponding Invoice

 

Understanding the process for executing the Email Notification of Receipts:

1)When the "email_receipt_notification" option in Company Setting is set to True ('T') and the Payment Gateway is Manual, and the Generate Receipt option on the Payment Gateway Form is NOT Checked - the Receipt Notification Email is only sent when the User reviews the file returned from the Payment Processor (Bank or Credit Card) and then Clicks on the Approve/Receipt button.          -

a)Clicking on the Approve/Receipt button in the Payment Batch File's Payment Transaction Detail (Grid), Approves the Payment and generates a Receipt with an Auth. Code as "MKMS" and Response as "Manually approved. Receipt creation only" inserted in the corresponding Receipt Transaction record in the Payment Batch / File Generation Form's Payment Transaction Detail (Grid).  

b)Clicking on the Reject/Bounce button - denies the Payment with Response as "Manually Denied" and does NOT generate any Receipt or send any Receipt Notification Email

       

2)When the "email_receipt_notification" option in Company Setting is set to True ('T') and the Payment Gateway is Manual, and the Generate Receipt option on the Payment Gateway Form IS Checked - When the Post Auto Draft process is run, the Receipt is generated, but the Receipt Notification Email is NOT sent.          

 

Note: For Manual Payment Gateways the Due Date is defaulted to the Date when the Post Auto Draft process was run.

 

Use for Tokenization - Do Not Check this box for a Manual Payment Processor who requires a file transfer to process payments.

Do NOT Check this option when you manually send a file to your Payment Processor.
