See below all topics explained on this page:


What is the Payment Providers section about

The Payment Providers section is where users can set up, edit or even deactivate payments providers and MIDs.

Activating and configuring a Payment Provider and its MIDs is a crucial process to enable campaigns and funnels to collect transactions.

In other words, once configured, the user can include them inside his/her campaign, so customers can effectively place orders by paying for the products on checkout pages.

Where to find the Payment Providers section

To find the Payment Provider section, follow the below directions.

  1. Log into your CTRwow account

  2. Go to the left side menu and click on SETTINGS

  3. From the SETTINGS page, at the top, click on the Payment Providers

What is on the Payment Providers Page

On the Payment Providers page, the user has the list of all Payment Providers already integrated with CTRwow that can be configured and used in the Checkouts.

ctr_2

On the page, for each column, the user can easily spot some specific detail of the payment providers.

  • Name: it shows the name of the payment provider

  • Type: in this column appears the type of payment providers, which can be Credit Card (Online) or Offline

Credit Card (Online): this is for Online payment providers, where the customer will type the billing and credit card details to pay for the order without leaving the checkout page.

Offline: the Offline payment providers are the ones where the customer needs to log in to the payment provider that will automatically provide the billing details, shipping address, and so on (i.g.: PayPal, iDeal, Mercado Pago, etc.). Therefore, the payment is made on the provider page rather than our Checkout Pages like in the Online payment providers. Examples of Offline payment.

  • Active Mids: in this column can be verified how many active Mids have been configured for the payment provider

  • Active: in this column can be checked whether the payment provider is active or not

  • Update Date: in this column is shown the date and time of the last update in the payment provider

  • Actions: by clicking on the Configure Mids button, users are redirected to the Merchant ID page where MIDs can be set up, edit or delete.

The Merchant IDs (Mids)

A merchant ID (or MID) is a specific identification number attached to a business that tells the payment processing systems involved in a transaction where to send which funds.

What is on the Merchant ID (MIds) page

How to set up a Payment Providers and MIDs

In order to set up the Payment Providers in CTRwow, please follow the below instructions.

  1. From the Payment Providers page, search for the payment provider that should be set up by typing its name on the search bar

  2. Click on the Configure MIDs button on the left side, and you’ll be redirected to the Merchant IDs (Mids) page

    ctr_4
  3. From the Merchant IDs (Mids) page go to the right side and click on + New Merchant ID button

    ctr_5
  4. The New MID tab will pop up and needs to be filled in it with the MID details (see below example)

ctr_6

  • Mid Code field: type the name of the MID

  • Descriptor field: {0}. This field by default has already a preset value {0}.

If the toggle Dynamic Descriptor is set to ON then the Descriptor value cannot be modified.

On the other hand, if the Dynamic Descriptor toggle is OFF, the value can be edited with the descriptor of the MID.

  • Dynamic Descriptor toggle: this should be set to ON only if the MID account has a dynamic descriptor

  • Is Active toggle: this toggle is set to ON by default. By switching to ON or OFF this toggle will activate or deactivate the MID

  • Is Paypal Direct Debit Active toggle: this should be turned ON only if the payment provider is PayPal

  • Is Active (PRN) toggle: this toggle is set to ON by default. Once the MID is saved, these credentials are applied to PRN, unless the option Is PRN Active option is disabled.

  • 3DS Enabled (Secure Mid) field: 3D Secure (3DS) adds an extra layer of protection to online shopping. With 3DS enabled, you have 2-step authentication on every online purchase - so no payments will ever go through unless you authorize them yourself.

  • Is Mid Cap Active toggle: This toggle should be switched to ON when the user’s MID has a maximum monthly limit that it can reach. Therefore:
    - If this toggle is set to ON the user is able to add the MID Cap amount on the Mid Cap - Monthly Amount (USD) field.
    - If the toggle is switched OFF the Mid Cap - Monthly Amount (USD) is blocked.

ctr_7

  • Mid Cap - Monthly Amount (USD) field: If the Is Mid Cap Active toggle is set to ON, in the field Mid Cap - Monthly Amount (USD), it has to be added the maximum monthly limit that the MID can reach. This should be included ONLY if the MID has a monthly limit allowance.
    ***Please note that funnels and campaigns that use MIDs with such option enabled, once the MID has reached the monthly limit, it is automatically blocked. For this reason, we generally suggest setting up multiple MIDs on the same campaign.
    Main Mid Code field: in this field can be selected, if available, the Main MID of the Payment provider

  • Entity field: Gold users should select the option Empty. On the other way, Premium clients have the option to customize this field using their dedicated eManage CRM instance.

  • Linked Currencies box, the user needs to click on the + Add Currency button and then fill the Currency Code field, by typing the currency that should be added to the MID.

ctr_8

It should be noted that more than a currency can be included in the same MID. Therefore, to add a new currency just click on the + Add Currency button, or to delete it to hit the Action (bin) icon on the right side of it
