Today’s Overview

Integrating Credit Card Processing in GlobalEdge

Introduction

• GlobalEdge can be setup to interface with a 3rd Party web based company who can legally store credit card numbers.

• The company, USA ePay, works as a gateway between GE and your credit card processor.

• Once configured, you can input credit card numbers into GE (whether just to process a payment or to save at the customer/contact level) and they are passed securely to USA ePay’s web site for storage and retrieval.

The Number goes IN

You can save CC Numbers in GE either under the Customer’s {Defaults} tab or on any customer contacts.

The Number goes OUT

Immediately after entering the detail into GE you can log into USA ePay’s site and see the detail.

The Number goes OUT

Immediately after entering the detail into GE you can log into USA ePay’s site and see the detail.

What’s the Difference?

Credit Card detail keyed to a contact record can easily be distinguished on USA ePay’s site since it has an “_” after the customer number.

Taking Payments

When you indicate the payment is a credit card type, then you now have a lookup to see all the cards on that Customer and that customer’s Contacts.

Processing Payments

The payment literally processes right within GlobalEdge, you can see a large red number count up while it awaits approval.

Invoice Details

If the payment is processed as part of Order or Service Order invoicing, then the Authorization detail can print right on the invoice!

Crediting a Card

In the event that a customer returns product and you need to credit their card, just process the RMA and during the invoice process, select the card to credit.

There is an option to VOID a payment on the USA ePay site, but that won’t update the GE side. So use a credit to create the void.

Pre-authorizations

Ever need to approve a card without actually charging the funds? Just use the Deposit field and flag it as a Preauth.

Viewing Pre-authorizations

On the USA ePay website you can to go the Batches tab and select Queued Transactions to see a list of active Preauths.

Canceling Preauth

If the transaction is posted within 24 days, then the charge will be billed to the credit card. If the customer decides to submit alternate payment, just select the [Cancel Preauth] Button.

Deleting Saved Cards

Should you need to delete a card from a contact or a Customer, the card is immediately removed from the USA ePay Site.

Swiping Credit Cards

We recommend the Unitech K2714U-B. Cost from CDW (as of 08-15-12).

Let’s see it in action!

Integration Options

GlobalEdge now integrates with two 3rd Party credit card gateways.1. USA ePay2. Merchant e-Solutions

The functional difference between the two is that USA ePay is great for one bank. If you have two companies and two banks, then you’ll need Merchant e-Solutions.

Enabling Outbound Faxing in GE

Background

For YEARS we tried to find a dependable, easy, cheap faxing solution. Between issues with hardware, lines, permissions, and tons of other things, we realized that a local faxing solution was not the answer. Through a process of trial and error with other solution options we eventually found ourselves a company that worked the first time and every time thereafter!

All current customers who converted from the old way to the new LOVE the new solution because they no longer have to maintain a fax line, modem, computer, etc. just for GE.

MetroFax to the rescue

MetroFax is an online company offering virtual faxing options.

Assuming you’ve purchased a faxing solution as part of your GlobalEdge install, just sign up for a new account with MetroFax, setup a couple screens in GE, and you’ll be faxing within the hour!

How it works

• You will be able to fax any report or form (like PO’s, Invoices, and Statements) right out of GE.

• No need to print it out and carry it to a fax machine, dial a number and stand there.

• You can see the success/failure of whether or not your fax reached MetroFax by looking at GE’s Fax List.

• MetroFax will email (up to 10 separate email accounts for FREE) the result of the actual fax transitions. Or you can look on their website.
