Processing Centers

Form ID: (CA205000)

You can use this form to configure a processing center for processing inbound payments—such as a card processing center to which your company is subscribed.

Note: This form appears in the system if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.

Button Description
Test Credentials Performs a test transaction to validate the credentials you have entered for the particular processing center.
Update Expiration Dates

Redirects you to the Update Expiration Dates (CA208000) hidden processing form, which displays the list of customer payment methods that do not have expiration dates. On this form, you click Process to retrieve expiration dates from Authorize.Net records for the customer payment methods or Process All to retrieve expiration dates for all records.

This button is displayed if the selected processing center supports unmasked expiration dates and if there are customer payment methods based on a payment method associated with the selected processing center that have no expiration date recorded in the system.

Create/Update Webhook

Checks whether webhooks have been created in both MYOB Acumatica and the merchant account linked to the selected processing center. If no webhook exists in either location, the system creates a webhook. If a webhook has been created in only one of these places, the system updates the processing center webhook with the URL, username, and password of the MYOB Acumatica webhook.

Once the system has created or updated webhooks, it populates the Webhook ID box on the Payment Links tab with the ID of the MYOB Acumatica webhook, and marks the created webhook as predefined in the database. Predefined webhooks cannot be deleted on the Webhooks (SM304000) form.

Note: Currently, only one webhook can be active for each location in the merchant account. Thus, you can set up multiple processing centers in MYOB Acumatica to work with a single location in your merchant account, but only one processing center will receive webhook notifications from this location.

Summary Area

This area displays the settings used for the processing center to which your company is subscribed.

Element Description
Proc. Center ID The unique identifier of the processing center.
Name A detailed description of the processing center. You use an alphanumeric string of up to 30 characters.
Cash Account

The cash account associated with the processing center. This cash account defines the currency in which the transaction amounts will be processed.

For Authorize.Net plug-in, the currency of the transactions is defined when you subscribe to the Authorize.Net services.

The system will use the identifier of the currency to validate that the transaction is posted to a cash account with the same currency identifier.

Currency The currency used for the selected account. The box is filled in automatically by the system as follows:
  • If the Multicurrency Accounting feature is not enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the system uses the base currency.
  • If the Multicurrency Accounting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the system uses the currency of the account, as specified on the chart of accounts to which the cash account is linked.
Active A check box that indicates (if selected) that the processing center is active in the system.
Payment Plug-In (Type)

The built-in plug-in developed for the particular processing center based on the protocol used by the center and other processing requirements. One of the following options can be selected:

  • Authorize.Net API Plug-In: This plug-in uses an API supported by Authorize.Net. It provides PCI DSS–compliant integration with Authorize.Net; sensitive credit card information is not stored in the MYOB Acumatica database. This option is available if the Authorize.Net Payment Plug-In feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

    If you have payment methods that have been configured with processing centers that are no longer supported (Authorize.Net AIM and Authorize.Net CIM), you should replace these payment methods with a new payment method by using the Payment Method Converter (CA207000) form. For more details, see To Replace a Processing Center that Uses a Discontinued Plug-In.

  • Shopify Payments API Plug-In: This plug-in uses an API supported by Shopify.
  • Stripe Plug-In: This plug-in makes it possible to integrate the processing center with the Stripe processing center. This option is available if the Stripe Payment Plug-In feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
  • Acumatica Payments Plug-In: This plug-in makes it possible to use MYOB payments. This option is available if the MYOB Payments feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
Allow Direct Input

A check box that indicates (if selected) that users can enter credit card information by using MYOB Acumatica forms, and then the system transfers this data to the Authorize.Net server on which it is stored.

This check box is displayed if Authorize.Net API is selected in the Payment Plug-In (Type) box.

Important: The direct input mode for entering credit card information has been discontinued. If this check box was selected for a particular processing center, the check box remains on the form and is still selected, but a warning is displayed. For a newly created processing center or an existing processing center for which this check box was cleared, the check box does not appear on this form.

To enter credit card data when customer payment methods are created for payment methods based on credit cards, you should use the hosted form provided by the applicable processing center.

Allow Saving Payment Profiles

A check box that indicates (if selected) that when a user enters a card payment, the system allows the saving of a payment profile by extracting the payment profile ID from the processing center and creating a customer payment method associated with the credit card.

If the check box is cleared, when the user enters a card payment, the system will associate the payment with the credit card transaction, but will not allow the user to create a customer payment method.

This check box is available only if the plug-in used for the processing center supports the creation of customer profiles.

Note: If this check box is selected and the Save Payment Profiles box is set to Never on the General tab of the Customer Classes (AR201000) form for the customer class of the customer, the system will never save customer payment profiles for customers of this class, even though the settings of the processing center allow it.
Synchronize Deletion

A check box that indicates (if selected) that when a user deletes a customer payment method that is registered with Authorize.Net or Stripe, the payment method information is automatically deleted from the Authorize.Net or Stripe server.

This check box is displayed if Authorize.Net API Plug-In or Stripe plug-in is selected in the Payment Plug-In (Type) box.

Accept Payments from New Cards

A check box that indicates (if selected) that when a user is processing a payment for a particular payment method, the system will accept a payment from a new credit card.

This check box is cleared and unavailable if Shopify Payments API Plug-In is selected in the Payment Plug-In (Type) box.

Allow Unlinked Refunds

This check box indicates (if selected) that it is possible to process unlinked refunds for card payment methods associated with the processing center.

This check box is cleared and unavailable if Shopify Payments API is selected in the Payment Plug-In (Type) box.

Allow Payment Links

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the payment methods of the selected processing center will support the processing of payment links. If this check box is selected, the Payment Links tab appears on the form.

The check box appears on the form if the plug-in selected in the Payment Plug-In (Type) box supports payment links.

Accept Payments from POS Terminals

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the processing center supports payments made via POS terminals.

The check box appears on the form if the MYOB Payments feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and Acumatica Payments plug-in is selected in the Payment Plug-In (Type) box on the current form. When this check box is selected, the POS Terminals tab appears on the form.
