Setting up a Credit Card Processor – CardConnect or Basys
This article explains how to set up a credit card processor that will allow users to make online payments using a credit card or ACH account. The credit card processor that is set up in the Advantage Route Platform (ARP) will be used across the whole suite – ARP, Advantage Route Mobile (ARM), and Portal.
The two card processors that are currently supported are CardConnect and Basys. Only one processor can be set up for a tenant. Once a processor is set, the user will not be able to change it – any future changes will have to be done by ARI support.
CardConnect- To begin, have your CardConnect credentials at hand.
- Go to Configure > Banking
- Select “CardConnect” from the credit card processor dropdown menu.
- In the credentials field that appears, enter the username, password, Merchant ID, and Site that was provided by CardConnect
- Check the ‘Allow credit card processing’ and ‘Allow ACH processing’ options and then save the changes.
- As a test to confirm that the setup was done correctly, go to a customer account, an attempt to store a new credit card and ACH account.
- Customer Details> Payment Management > ‘Add Payment Method’
- If the payment method is stored correctly and no error message appears, the processor has been successfully set up.
