3. Next to Chargent Settings click Manage

Process Payments Using Your Gateway of Choice

Once the above is completed, the gateway setup can be used according to the documentation for Payment Gateway usage provided by Salesforce Billing. Salesforce provides great documentation for taking payments! Click here to see these docs.

You can use the Payment Virtual Terminal on Invoices, the Payment Scheduler, or any other Salesforce Billing feature where a payment can be taken.

Payment Methods Supported

Cards (Credit/Debit/Prepaid/Procurement)

Chargent Gateways Connector will support all cards supported by your payment gateway and payment processor.

Tokenization

Tokenization can be used for both cards and bank drafts (ACH/eCheck/EFT/Direct Debit).

Bank Account Tokenization

When creating a new bank payment method (direct debit/EFT/ACH) via the “New Payment Method” button in Salesforce Billing, the payment method will not immediately be tokenized. Only once a payment is made using that payment method, will Chargent perform the tokenization, if enabled.

Accounting Seed

Chargent has a pre-built integration with the popular Accounting Seed accounting software, where successful charge and refund transactions in Chargent automatically create corresponding Cash Receipt and Cash Disbursement records in Accounting Seed.

Check a single box in a Chargent Gateway record, and transactions in Chargent will automatically create records related to that Account in Accounting Seed. You can then apply the Cash Receipts or Cash Disbursement records to the account that was billed without any additional data entry in Accounting Seed.

• Approved transactions in Chargent will automatically create a Cash Receipt in Accounting Seed


• Approved Refund transactions in Chargent will automatically create a Cash Disbursement Batch with a single Cash Disbursement in Accounting Seed Implementation

Setting up Chargent’s integration with Accounting Seed is quick and easy.

1. Check the “Accounting Seed Integration” checkbox in gateway record to activate the integration. If you have multiple active gateway records be sure to select the checkbox for each of them.





NOTE: Both Chargent and Accounting Seed have an object called “Transactions”, so be sure to choose the Chargent one.

2. Add “Cash Receipt” and the “Cash Disbursement” fields to the Page Layout
• Click the gear icon and select Setup
• Under Objects and Fields select Object Manager
• Select the Chargent ‘Transaction’ object
• Choose Page Layouts and click the name of the Layout you want to update
• Drag the fields into the page layout
• Click Save




3. Refer to the Accounting Seed documentation for information on how to apply Cash Receipts and Cash Disbursements to your Accounting Seed Accounts and Billings.

Additional Information

Account Lookup
All Cash Receipts and Cash Disbursements need to be related to an Account in Salesforce. For this reason, we have added an Account lookup field to the Chargent Orders custom object in Salesforce, though you may have configured it to have lookup or Master­Detail relationships with other objects.

Relating Transactions
For each Chargent transaction, the 15 digit Salesforce record ID of the corresponding Cash Receipt or Cash Disbursement is saved in the Cash Receipt or Cash Disbursement field on the Chargent Transaction record.

To quickly view the Cash Disbursement or Cash Receipt, just copy and paste that value into your browser bar after the Salesforce URL.

Voids
While approved Charge transactions create a Cash Receipt in Accounting Seed, and approved Refund transactions create a Cash Disbursement in Accounting Seed, if you Void a transaction in Chargent (similar to a refund but done before the daily batch settles), generally you should simply delete the related cash receipt that was created when the Charge first went through.

Security
The integration between Chargent and Accounting Seed takes place entirely inside of Salesforce, as both applications are 100% Salesforce native. There is no transmission of data outside of your Salesforce org (other than the initial call out between Chargent and your payment gateway to initiate a transaction.) .

Integration Detail: Cash Receipts
The integration between Chargent and Accounting Seed creates a Cash Receipt in Accounting Seed for every transaction in Chargent where Type = Charge and Response Status = Approved. The Chargent Gateway ID is mapped to the Accounting Seed Payment Reference field, and the Chargent Gateway Date is mapped to the Accounting Seed Receipt Date field

Integration Details: Cash Disbursements
The integration between Chargent and Accounting Seed creates a Cash Disbursement Batch with a single Cash Disbursement in Accounting Seed for every transaction in Chargent where Type = Refund and Response Status = Approved. The Chargent Gateway ID is mapped to the Accounting Seed Reference field, as well as being used to name the Cash Disbursement Batch in the format of Credit Card Refund#{Gateway ID}. The Accounting Seed Vendor field is a lookup to the Salesforce Account, since all Cash Disbursements need to be associated with an Account.
