Configure Chargent Terminal in Salesforce  #

Once Chargent Terminal is installed in your Salesforce Org, and you have assigned licenses, you will want to configure your Salesforce Org to connect with your terminal.

1. Click the AppLauncher in the top left corner
2. Select the Chargent Terminal App

3. Click the Terminal Configuration tab
4. Select Setup Wizard from the Menu
5. Follow the step by step wizard to configure your terminal(s) in Salesforce
   • Add Remote Site 
   • Add Permissions
     • Terminal Admin
     • Terminal User
     • Terminal Unlinked Payments
   • Business Authorization:  Authenticate with Poynt HQ and select the Store(s) that will be associated with this Salesforce Org.
   • Push Topic: This enables the Salesforce Streaming API to send details to the terminal.
   • Click Finish

If you have multiple terminals being used for different areas of your business, you can set the default terminal for each Salesforce account.  Under the Debug section in setup select User Terminal.  From the drop down menu select the correct terminal as the default.  Click the “Save Default Choice” button and all transactions that are sent from this Salesforce instance will now be sent to the terminal you set as the default.

Add Chargent Terminal to your Page Layout #

Chargent Terminal was written to work with your existing lightning pages on any object in Salesforce!  

1. From the gear icon on the object of your choice click Edit Page
2. From the left side under Custom – Managed drag and drop the Chargent Terminal into the Page Layout.

Use either the large column or a small column.  We think it looks nicer on the small column, however  either one will work.

3. If you’ve not yet activated this page, on the top right side, click Activate 
4. Click [Save]
5. Click [Back]

The Page Layout will now contain the Chargent Terminal lightning component.  

To finish the configuration, go to the object that you just added the Chargent Terminal to.  There will be a button that says Complete Configuration.  Once this is pressed it will finish the configuration and you will now be able to send transactions from Salesforce to the terminal.




Note: If the Chargent Terminal doesn’t show up on the Page Layout after following the steps above, make sure that the specific Page Layout is assigned to the correct user in Salesforce.

Using the Terminal Payments Object #

There is a new object that comes with the installation of Chargent Terminal called Terminal Payments.  All  transactions processed in your Poynt HQ account including those from the terminal, are represented in Salesforce as a Terminal Payment record. 

Terminal Payment actions

The Terminal Payment available actions are dynamic.  The app will only show you actions that are valid for that Terminal Payment.  When there are no actions displayed, this means that there are no actions that are allowed on that transaction.  

From the Terminal Payment Record users may:

1. Void the Transaction – This is available when the charge is still in an Authorize status and removes the charge from the customers credit card.
   
2. Capture the Transaction – This is used when you want to Capture the amount immediately or capture an amount that is different than what was originally authorized (an example would be tips, concession fees).
   
3. Refund the Transaction – Refunds are used for charges that have already been captured. Refunding the charge adds the funds back to the customer’s credit card.  You can refund the full amount or a portion of the transaction.

Processing Payments with Chargent Terminal #

From the Chargent Terminal Lightning Component, you’re able to charge the balance due or lower amount.

1. Enter the amount you want to charge and press the Charge with Terminal button.  This will send the transaction to the Terminal for the transaction to be completed.
   
   

2. The customer will be prompted to do the following:
   

• Tap a card/phone or insert a card to be charged
  
  Note: The terminal is compatible with all modern forms of payment, both card and mobile phones, including Apple Pay and Google Pay on compatible mobile devices.
  
  
  
• Add their signature on the screen
  
• Select a method of receipt.
  • Text Message – They will enter their mobile phone number and receive a text message with a link to their receipt
  • Email – They will enter their email address and will receive an email containing their receipt.
  • Paper Receipt – Prints the receipt from the terminal
  • No Receipt – No receipt is sent or printed.

Once the receipt is sent or printed, the terminal will go back to the main customer screen. 

Chargent Terminal Transaction Sync #

Chargent Terminal Transaction Sync has been designed to enable merchants to have more flexibility in accepting payments while still benefiting from having these payments integrated into Salesforce.

In a number of situations it makes sense to initiate payments directly from the Terminal, rather than using the process described above, where the transaction starts from inside Salesforce.

Since these “terminal first” transactions will not have as much customer data or information on the related object to connect them in Salesforce, you will need to link them manually in Salesforce to the correct record.

You can always process transactions using the Chargent Terminal, whether directly on the terminal or by starting inside Salesforce.  Events and trade shows are common examples of where you may want to charge a customer without having  Salesforce in front of you.

Chargent Terminal Unlinked Transactions #

If you have run transactions directly from the terminal (without clicking the button in Salesforce,) you will have Unlinked Chargent Terminal Transactions in Salesforce. To link them to your parent records and connect them to your customer in Salesforce simply follow these steps.  

1. Click the AppLauncher on the top left hand side of Salesforce.
   
2. Search for Chargent Terminal Unlinked Transactions.

3. You will see the following options on the left side which allow you to search for Unlinked Chargent Terminal Transactions.
   
   • Linked Object – This should default to the object where you have the Chargent Terminal added to the Page Layout.  If you have the Chargent Terminal on multiple objects you will have to choose one.
     
   • Store Name – If you have multiple stores you will need to choose the store you want to link.  If you have only one terminal then you will only see one option from the drop down.
     
   • Populate Date Range – You can choose Today, Yesterday, Last 30 Days, This Month, or All Time.  This automatically populates the Search Start and the Search End fields.  You can also set the Search Start and Search End fields manually. 
     
4. When you have chosen your search options, click the Query button on the bottom of the page.  This will pull up all unlinked Chargent Terminal transactions that do not have records associated with them.
   
   

5. To link the transaction, click the drop down arrow to the right of the Transaction you want to link and select Link Record.
   
   

6. Search and select the record you want to link it to and click Save.
   

A success message will populate confirming that you have successfully connected an Unlinked Chargent Terminal Transaction to the correct Chargent Order, and therefore to the customer associated with the charge.
