Payment Gateways

Payment gateways are external platforms that act as a bridge for communications between Salesforce Billing and customer banks during the payment transaction process. The payment gateway record in Salesforce contains information for establishing the connection between Salesforce Billing and the external gateway. Payment gateway records are assigned to payment methods, which are then assigned to accounts. This way, all payments against an account’s invoices flow through the gateway defined on the account’s payment method, though you also have options for overriding payment methods when needed.

• Get Started With Payment Gateways
  Payment gateways are external platforms that act as a bridge for communications between Salesforce Billing and customer banks during the payment transaction process. Your developers configured the API to help Salesforce Billing send customer payment information to the gateway. They also configured API that lets Salesforce Billing record the results of the gateway-bank communication into Salesforce Billing objects. Although you won’t be working directly with the API, we recommend reviewing the general gateway communication process to understand the resulting record changes in Salesforce Billing.

• Creating Payment Gateway Records
  Create a payment gateway record and assign it to a payment method. Then assign the payment method to an account. The required fields and values on a payment gateway record vary based on the information required by the external payment gateway that you’re linking to your record. If you installed and configured a payment gateway package, your payment gateway records likely have fields specific to that package. We’ve provided some examples for configuring payment gateway records for the payment gateway packages that Salesforce Billing supports by default. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
• Processing Payments with Payment Gateways
  Salesforce Billing supports payment interfaces to process credit card and ACH transactions. Payment gateways are external service providers that process these electronic payments. Salesforce Billing uses out-of-the-box or API integrations to interface with a payment gateway. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
