Describe how to configure payment services

Setting Batch Timing or Limits

You can configure batch processing for customer payments in two ways:
  • Batch Timing 
  • Batch Limits

Batch Timing

You use use the Batch Timing screen to set a schedule for processing, or use the Batch Limits screen to trigger batch processing when the batch reaches the limit you set for the number of transactions pending processing or the total dollar value of all the transactions pending processing. The Batch Timing screen allows you to process customer payments. 

To configure the payment server, set the following Payment Server configuration parameters: 

  • Process Every--This is the processing interval in minutes. 
  • Explicit Times --This parameter represents any additional times at which the payment server should run. These are times that are in addition to any regular scheduled run times, as set in the Submission Frequency field.

Batch Limits

The Batch Limits screen allows you to set the maximum number of transactions or dollar value before the server automatically processes the batch. 

To set batch limits, enter data into the following input fields: 

  • Transaction Count--This is the maximum number of transactions a batch can hold. When this limit is reached the server will automatically process the batch. 
  • Batch Value--This is the maximum dollar value a batch can hold. When this limit is reached the server will automatically process the batch.
