How can I set the message that appears on the bank statement of the customer?

For customers using the Windave payment gateway:

Apart from merchants using the First Data (FDRA) Australian network, the bank specifies what will appear on the customers statements. If you would like a different name to appear on them, then you are best to contact your local bank representative. If you are transacting on the FDRA network, then you will need to inform us what you would like to appear on your cardholder's statements and also inform your bank.

Some card types are not working and others are - E.g. Mastercard Credit, Visa Credit are working, but Visa Debit cards are not.

Option 1. When you setup your Merchant Facilities, did you get this card type inc ...

Option 1.

When you setup your Merchant Facilities, did you get this card type included? It is normal for Visa/Mastercard to be setup and included, but you will also need a separate Merchant Facility for American Express, Diners Card etc.

If you did get this setup, did you notify payments2us.com that you wish to use this facility and provide the Merchant Info?. If not, please contact support@payments2us.com with the details. Please note, additional Merchant Facilities do attract a once-off/one time setup fee.

Option 2.

Please contact your Merchant Facility provider (bank) and let them know which card types are not working.

AFTER checking with Merchant Facility provider, if have not been able to resolve then please contact support@payments2us.com

Option 3.

If the issuing bank is say an overseas bank, then it could be that particular bank that is causing the issue. The card holder will need to contact the bank and ask them to resolve.

Our Payment Gateway is Windcave, how do the different usernames and passwords work?

There are a series different sets of usernames: Payline Account - This is the Win ...

There are a series different sets of usernames:

Payline Account - This is the Windcave portal username that can be used to view all the transactions from within Windcave via https://sec.windcave.com/pxmi3/logon
PxPost Account - This is the account used to enter into the Payment Gateway UserID field on your Merchant Facility. Enter the password for this account in the Payment Gateway Password field. This is the connection between Salesforce and Windcave. If these credentials are incorrect the transactions will be declined.

For customers who also use PxPay (Prepay), you will also have:

PxPay Account - This is the account used in the the PxPay/PxFusion UserID field. Enter the password for this account in the PxPay/PxFusion Password field.

Things to note:

Each username has it's own password. They are unrealated and if any change will not change the other accounts.
Changing of passwords for all accounts need to be manually done through Windcave. They cannot be reset within the Payline portal. If you need to reset any passwords contact Windcave via https://www.windcave.com/contact
If you reset any passwords, everywhere that uses those credentials will need to be updated
Payments2Us does not hold any of your passwords not has the authority to access or reset passwords.
When contacting Windcave you will need to quote your Customer Number. If you do not have this contact support@payments2us.com to retrieve

You can make changes to the HPP in Payline, but only the Windcave support can apply changes to live pages. So once you make your changes you will have to lodge a request to Windcave support (Support@windcave.com) to make those updates live.

Please note that this is not needed by Payments2Us . Resetting the Payline password will not have any impact on Payments2Us setup.

Why am I getting so many Payment Txn’s at a Status of “Confirmation” (Windcave PxPay)?

The way the process for the forms work is: Payments2Us Checkout form (users enter ...

The way the process for the forms work is:

Payments2Us Checkout form (users enters details)
We create the Payment Txn - status of "Confirmation" - includes details entered
We pass over to the Windcave PxPay form
User enters payment details
1. [THIS STEP SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, but is currently setup] User sees Windcave PxPay screen.
Windcave returns to Payments2Us checkout screen.
Payments2Us checks Windcave to confirm the payment details. Then updates the Payment Txn to a status of "Payment Complete"

If step 6 of this setup procedure has not been implemented, the transaction created will be in Confirmation status.

TIP: Do not close the screen/browser after step 4a: What usually happens is that the user completes steps 1, 4a and they see they have paid and all is okay, then they close the screen/browser and that stops steps 5 and 6. So, Salesforce does NOT get updated.

Solution will be to complete Step 6 in the setup link

The "Next" button confirms that the transaction was initiated from Payments2Us.

Can we have a different currency other than AUD on the checkout form?

Multi currency only works with a Merchant Facility of NAB in Australia and BNZ in ...

Multi currency only works with a Merchant Facility of NAB in Australia and BNZ in NZ.

This feature can be used with the above banks if an organization would like the customer/donor to select a different currency on the checkout form

Regular payments with expired dates are failing or how to I ignore expiry dates

You need to make sure your Merchant Facility (known as the Acquirer) has given permission and setup your account for ignoring recurring payment expiry dates AND they have applied those settings to your account.

Should you not do this step, then you are likely to be in breach of your terms and conditions with the acquirer and the transactions are likely to fail.

Note, the ignoring of expiry dates is ONLY available for recurring billing. The initial sign up or card updates will always require and expiry date.

Once you have confirmed permission with the acquirer, then you can enable "Use Client Type - Recurring" on the Merchant Facility

Why do I get the error "Authorisation failed the transaction was declined. Funds were not transferred (76)" when updating card details?

When the card is updated, an Auth transaction for $0.01 is attempted. This does N ...

When the card is updated, an Auth transaction for $0.01 is attempted. This does NOT charge the card, but reserves 1 cent. This reserve disappears after 7 days.

The card holder most likely does not have any funds left/over their limit and the transaction has failed.

Try in a few days time, or contact the card holder.

If the card still fails, ask the card holder to contact their bank to see why the funds are not being approved.

The error message is returned from the payment gateway (Windcave) and is not something generated by Payments2Us. You can try contacting their support, but extremely likely to be asked to contact the Card holder and ask them to check with their bank.

Why do I get error "The transaction was Declined (JD)"?

This error means the Billing Token is invalid. The billing token is located on th ...

This error means the Billing Token is invalid.

The billing token is located on the Recurring Payment Object and is used to charge the Credit Card for Recurring Billing/Donations.

What may have happened is Windcave Billing Tokens often have 4 or 5 leading zeros. If you have migrated the data and used Excel, then it is likely the leading zeros were removed.

Update the Billing Token on the Recurring Payment with the Correct Token.

How do I remove the Windcave logo and/or Privacy Statement from the form?

It is part of your contractual agreement in using Windcave to have both the logo and privacy terms shown. You therefore cannot remove these.

For CBA, after you go live, please keep an eye on the Bank Deposit date. If the Bank Deposit Date does not change from day to day, then this means CBA have missed a setup step. The below is what we've been told in the past in relation to the issue/fix that CBA needs to do:

The merchant officer mentioned that they made a change to settlement options and timing to fix issue

(CHANGED TO) Bank Initiated, vs. Merchant Initiated.
Windcave advised "enabling Host Settlement"

PLEASE NOTE, this is something only CBA can fix. There is nothing that Payments2Us or Windcave can change.

NOTE: Windcave is retiring the connectivity to CBA as the acquirer in 17 April 2023. You will need to get Acquiring through Windcave Directly or switch Payment Gateways.
With Windcave doing the acquiring, the funds can still settle into your bank account.
We advise acting on this early as application process can take some time. You can apply directly to Windcave at: https://sec.windcave.com/pxmi3/merchantapplicationau

I have received an email from Windcave with "Changes to ANZ Worldline and Windcave Connectivity- Action Required Before 21 October 2023"

To take a payment you need 3 components:

App to capture the payment. This is Payments2Us
A Payment Gateway. This connects to the Banking System and transfers the funds to your Merchant Facility.
For your organisation, this would be setup to use Windcave and that is sold through Payments2Us.
A Merchant Facility. This is like a line of credit and holds your funds for a little while and normally on a daily basis then settles into your bank account. This is the component of credit card processing that normally charges a percentage fee.
If you are getting this email, then this means you currently have a Merchant Facility with ANZ

What this email is saying is that Windcave are no longer supporting ANZ as a 3rd party Merchant Facility (3).

The choices you have are:

Get the Merchant Facility through Windcave.
This is the simplest option and least hassle to do. It also means no interruption to regular payments/donations.
The email from Windcave would have some notes on how to apply for this. As noted above, this is like a line of credit, so not all organisations will be approved. For this reason, we recommend applying sooner than later.
Switch to a different Payment Gateway.
You can use any of our supported payment gateways.
Note, for this option, if you have regular givers/payers then you'll need them to sign up again to get use the new gateway.

You can see transactions and report on transactions in the Windcave online Payline Portal.

However, the online portal does not include detailed logs of the integrations payloads between Payments2Us and Windcave like some other Payment Gateways do. We are not aware of their support being able to provide this.

If you require future information, please contact Windcave support directly.

Why do I get an error message: "Payment Failed - Gateway error. IO Exception: Unable to tunnel through proxy. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable...."

If you get an error message similar to the one shown below, then it is possible that you are using a Windcave developer/test account that that this account has been setup on the incorrect Environment.

On the Merchant Facility, there is an Environment picklist field. This is normally set to Sandbox for developer/test accounts. You can try changing this to Production.
If you get an error when trying to save, then it is likely the validation rule "Merchant Facility Validation Rule (Managed)" needs to be de-activated. This is on the Merchant Facility Object.

Switch of Merchant Facility to Windcave (Oct 2024)

This article is relevant for you if you are a Windcave customer who has received ...

This article is relevant for you if you are a Windcave customer who has received a notice similar to the one below. If you are not a Windcave customer or are already using them as your Acquiror (Merchant Facility), you can skip this information.

Please note that this change from Windcave does not affect your services with Payments2us. This article has been created to assist our customers who are impacted by Windcave's short notice and are seeking answers.

Below is the notice sent by Windcave in Mid October:

Customer ID: XXXXXX

According to our records [Your Organisation Name] utilises licensed Windcave products and services for processing certain payment transactions in conjunction with a merchant service facility from other parties.

Windcave is streamlining its processes to align with a global model and the services you currently license from Windcave will need to be bundled with a Windcave Merchant Services Facility – an all-inclusive model, where Windcave interacts directly with the payment brands such as Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover andUnionPay, on your behalf, without the involvement of third parties.

This switchover is seamless and there are no changes needed to the IT, ecommerce or technology environment, however an additional commercial contract containing the terms of the Merchant Services Facility must be agreed to and signed to board as a Windcave merchant.

To ensure uninterrupted service on your Windcave account, you will need to have completed your Windcave application prior to the 1st of November 2024.

Please email your me directly, or our Customer Success team at nextsteps@windcave.com for more information on setting up a new merchant account.

Sincerely,

Harrison Mori

Below are answers to commonly asked questions you may have -

Am I affected by the changes to Windcave's payment processing requirements ?

You are affected by these changes if:
a) You are a Payments2us customer that uses Windcave as your payment gateway
b) You were using a third-party other than Windcave as your acquirer (merchant services facility).

If both conditions apply to you, you will be impacted by this change.

Windcave now requires you to:

1) Switch to Windcave as your merchant services facility/acquirer
2) Submit the necessary paperwork by November 1st, 2024.

This is a mandatory requirement for affected customers. Failure to comply may result in disruption of your payment processing services from Windcave.

How is Payment Gateway different to Merchant Facility ?

You have purchased the Windcave Payment Gateway through Payments2us. When the “Donate Now” button is pressed, this checks the card holders account for funds and then transfers the funds to your Merchant Facility.

A Merchant Facility is like a line of credit. If a donor asks for their money back, then it is refunded from here. This is often setup with your bank. Your finance department should know where/who this is currently with.

Typically, a merchant facility charges a per transaction fee and a percentage of the donation amount. This is on top of our fees, which include the Windcave Payment Gateway Fees.

What Windcave are now saying is that you must get the Payment Gateway (which you already have), plus they want you to move to their Merchant Facility as they now provide this. If you are an old customer of Windcave, previously, they gave the option to choose a third-party such as a your Bank for a Merchant Facility, but this is no longer the case now.

Could you clarify the November 1 deadline and explain how to submit the Application Form ?

Windcave has informed us that there was an error in the previous email regarding the deadline. The deadline of November 1st is not for completing the move of the Merchant Facility but rather for initiating the paperwork. Windcave understands that you may not be able to submit all the required documents (such as financials or other legal paperwork) by this date. They only require you to complete the Application Form https://sec.windcave.com/pxmi3/merchantapplicationAu by November 1st 2024, with the option to provide the remaining documents later. Windcave has assured us they will guide you through the process, and Harrison will be your point of contact during this transition. Hence, for any issues with this Transition, please contact Harrison directly.

To be honest, the deadline of November 1st has caught us off guard, as Windcave is only allowing a two-week timeframe. However, we have been assured that Harrison at Windcave will assist each customer individually, making the transition process fairly seamless.

Why am I receiving such short notice?

We at Payments2us are also surprised by the limited notice provided by Windcave. Unfortunately, we have no control over the decisions made by Windcave or other Payment Gateway providers. That said, we have been assured that they will ensure a smooth transition for you.
If you have concerns about the short notice, please reach out to them directly, as we are not Windcave.

What if Windcave Merchant Facility rates are more expensive than my original third-party provider ?

Windcave has indicated that in most cases you will find that the Windcave Merchant Facility rates are the same or lower than other third-party providers you may currently use.
If you find Windcave to be more expensive than your present provider, then please provide them with the “Merchant Statement” from your current third-party provider and Windcave informs us that they will either beat that rate or in worst case match it !

What if I need assitance with this Transition or understanding more ? Who is the best person at Windcave for this ?

From Payments2us perspective, you do not need to make any changes to your org settings. Infact, this switch of Merchant Facility does not involve Payments2us at all, but is a Windcave initiative driven by their business which impacts all their customers across the globe.

According to Windcave, the switchover of Merchant Facility is seamless and there are no changes needed to the IT, ecommerce or technology environment, however an additional commercial contract containing the terms of the Merchant Services Facility must be agreed to and signed to onboard you as a Windcave merchant.

If you require further assistance please contact Harrison Mori on (02)82687728 or Harrison.Mori@windcave.com . We have been advised by Harrison that he will work directly with you to ensure there is no disruption. Hence, please reach out to him if you need further assistance with this. Harrison will be available 9AM - 5AM AEST Time (Mon-Fri)

How is Payments2us involved with this Merchant Facility switch?

We want to be clear that this has nothing to do with Payments2us and we are not involved with this Merchant Facility switch. We are simply trying to help you by having created this article.

Payments2us provides Windcave as an option for Payment Gateways amongst others such as Stripe, Ezidebit, GlobalPayments and others. What Windcave has done here is their own business decision and Payments2us have no control on this. Further, there is no settings change required in your Payments2us org.

We have been informed that everything will be seamlessly managed by Windcave once you submit your aplication. Again, If you require further assistance please contact Harrison Mori on (02)82687728 or Harrison.Mori@windcave.com . We have been advised by Harrison that he will work directly with you to ensure there is no disruption. Hence, please reach out to him if you need further assistance with this. Harrison will be available 9AM - 5AM AEST Time (Mon-Fri) .

If you have any issues working with Windcave, please know that Payments2us also offers other Payment Gateway options, so feel free to reach out to us.

What are the main steps to switch my Merchant Facility to Windcave?

The process to switch your Merchant Facility to Windcave involves three main steps:

Step 1- Complete the online Application Form with Windcave before Deadline of Nov 1 2024. You can provide any missing documents later.

Step 2 - Allow approximately 4-weeks for Windcave to process your application. During this time, you can continue using your existing third-party Merchant Facility provider.

Step 3 - After approval, Windcave will handle the switch to their Merchant Facility. If there are any issues or your application isn't approved, Harrison from Windcave will work with you directly to resolve them.
