GoldPay User and Admin Guide

<p> [[http://www.plain-english.com|Plain English Home Page]] </p> <p> [[:start|Start Page]] </p> <h4>Download and Install</h4> <div class="level4"> <ol> <li class="level1"> You'll need a <b>merchant account</b> from BluePay processing.<ol> <li class="level3"> Call Dylan (no, not Bob Dylan!) at BluePay and ask him to set you up with a "Sandbox Account," for testing with GoldPay. Tell him Steven sent you. Dylan's number is (630)300-2363. His turnaround on such requests is usually less than an hour.</li> <li class="level3"> Dylan will try to give you a quote, showing you how much money you can save by switching to BluePay. Let him give you a quote. Don't worry, he's harmless. If you go with GoldPay we'll be switching you to one of our partner processors, possibly BluePay.</li> <li class="level3"> Other processors may be supported in the near future, so stay tuned.</li> </ol> </li> <li class="level1"> Download the <b>GoldPay software</b> from [[http://www.plain-english.com/downloads/goldpay.zip|http://www.plain-english.com/downloads/goldpay]] to a convenient spot on your computer.</li> <li class="level1"> Run GoldMine, and leave it open for now.</li> <li class="level1"> Run the GoldPay installation program, or just copy the files from goldpay.zip to a central location like k:\apps\goldpay.</li> <li class="level1"> Run goldpay.exe. Goldpay will (should!) recognize that you haven't run the configuration program yet (goldpayconfig.exe), and will offer to run it for you. Click Yes.</li> <li class="level1"> The choices required for configuration are intuitive and simple. You'll need your Merchant ID and Secret Key, both of which are available on the account configuration page at BluePay.com, after you've logged in to your Sandbox account: <br/> Admin → Accounts → List → click your acct. <br/> Note: your "Account ID" is also called your "Merchant ID."</li> <li class="level1"> Your best bet, by far, is to use copy and paste, especially with the Secret Key, as it is quite long. We store your secret key in the goldpay.ini file in encrypted form. Encryption is what we use… <em>to keep your key secret!</em></li> <li class="level1"> <b>GoldMine configuration. </b> Finally, you'll want to make it easy for your users to run GoldPay so you'll create a Taskbar button for them in GoldMine. An example of that is shown here: [[:video_create_shortcut|"Creating a Shortcut"]]</li> <li class="level1"> When saving a credit card, the information about that card (but <em>not</em> the card number!) gets written to a Detail record in GoldMine. To prepare the Detail record type:<ol> <li class="level3"> Go to the Details tab.</li> <li class="level3"> Right-click, choose New.</li> <li class="level3"> Click in the Detail field, then click the right-arrow.</li> <li class="level3"> Click New to create a new Detail type.</li> <li class="level3"> Type "Credit Card" without the quotes.</li> <li class="level3"> Click OK. Click Select.</li> <li class="level3"> Click the Setup tab.</li> <li class="level3"> Fill in the fields as shown here: <br/> <img src="/goldpaydoc/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=384&h=304&tok=5197d3&media=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.screencast.com%2Fusers%2FStevenGraff%2Ffolders%2FJing%2Fmedia%2Fcbfe687e-ba96-4776-b74e-91eef404db5d%2F2014-07-30_0619.png" class="media" alt="" width="384" height="304" /></li> <li class="level3"> Click OK. Click Yes.</li> <li class="level3"> Double-click the Credit Card Detail record you just created, and check the Info tab to be sure you got all the fields created in the right place, i.e. matching the layout above. The characters in Fields 3, 4, and 5 are double-asterisks, which suppress the display of these (unused) fields.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> </div>
