You can create a new payment type by selecting System Configuration (
icon in the OPS-COM admin side menu ) → Payments → Setup Payment Types →Add Type.
Select "EdgeExpress - Hosted" as your provider → Next Step.
You should now be brought to the "Edit Payment Type" page:
Type Name: The Type name can be whatever you want it to be, though please note this will also be the name displayed to users when using payment checkout and selecting a payment method. You can reference the specific hosted payment provider such as OpenEdge/Edge Express or something more generic such as "Online Credit Card Payment", "Online payment", "Credit Card", etc. Really it's up to you and what you think makes most sense to your site users when making a payment, also might depend on what payment methods your OpenEdge/EdgeExpress.
Enabled for User Types: Select the User Types you wish this new Payment Type to be visible to so they can select it during payment checkout. You can change these user types at any time
There are additional required configuration fields in the Settings area:
Enable for Text2ParkMe: if you aren't using this module leave the button unchecked.
Enable for Permit Renewal Payments: if you aren't using this feature leave the button unchecked.
Enable for Guest Payments: if you aren't using this feature leave the button unchecked.
Prompt Information: Only "Email Address" is supported with OpenEdge Hosted Payments at this time.
Credentials:
- Production/Sandbox: Select whether you are using your OpenEdge Production/Live credentials or Sandbox/Testing credentials. Additionally, although not required you may find your OPS-COM preview space helpful for testing Sandbox/testing credentials, this way you can keep your production/live OPS-COM data (permits, users, payments, violations, etc) clean/untouched during any testing.
As referenced above, your OpenEdge Account Manager can provide you with the following credentials:
- Auth Key: a multi-digit string key.
- Terminal ID: a 8 digit numeric key.
- X-Web ID: a 12 digit numeric key.
Don't forget to save your new payment type by clicking the "Update Payment Type" button along the bottom of the page:
Done, the new OpenEdge/Edge Express hosted payment type has been added to your OPS-COM system and you should be ready to test the payment/checkout process using this new payment type.
