This feature enhances the Aria UI to enable the more efficient selection, configuration, and/or creation of Services to associate with a Plan during Plan creation, or editing.
Getting Here: Click Products > Plans
Note: If you plan on including a Cancellation or Minimum Fee Service on your Plan, you need to configure the "Apply Cancellation", and "Apply Minimum Charge" fields within the Billing & Invoicing tab.
The Plan Services screen displays. If no Services were previously selected, as in a new Plan setup, Aria displays the message "No services have been added to this plan".
A Services pop-up screen is displayed, and pagination is enabled if the number of Services exceeds 10. This screen is limited to 10 Services per view.
Note: Using the Select button at the top of the screen will select only the services displayed on the screen. Use the pagination arrows at the top of screen to move forward or backward to display and select additional Services to associate to the Plan.
OR
The Plan Services screen re-displays with all Services that are currently associated with the Plan.
Note: Any previously selected Services as shown above will remain "checked" for inclusion on the Plan.
Note: Refer to Create a Service for more information on configuring a new Service.
Note: This action also creates a new Service that is available to associate with other Plan offerings. The new Service can be found within > Products > Services.
The Plan "Services" screen re-displays with the new Service added.
Note: An Add/Edit link is NOT displayed for Minimum Fee Services since this Service Type has no configurable options.
Configure each Services' available settings:
Note: Service configuration options vary per Service Type.
You can also modify values for these fields by editing the Vantiv payment gateway.
You can specify an account field value for any of the Vantiv-specific fields, both at the Payment Gateway and the Collection Group levels.
Next to each field, in both the Payment Gateway and Collection Group configuration levels for Vantiv, each field has a drop-down menu next to it, as pictured above with the orange arrow. The values in the drop-down menu comprise all account fields that have been configured in your Aria instance. Choose the account field that you want to populate this field.
The order of precedence specified above applies.
This feature enhances the Aria UI to display the supported Payment Gateways per Payment Method (examples: Credit Card, ACH, etc.).
Getting Here: Click Configuration > Payments > Payment Methods
This feature supports the locking or non-removal of a Collection Group within the Aria UI, once it has been linked to one or more accounts.
Getting Here: Click Configuration > Payments > Collection Groups
This feature enhances the Aria UI to add configurable CVV/AVS settings for the Vantiv payment gateway.
Getting Here: Click Configuration > Payments > Payment Gateways
This improvement enhances the overall performance and efficiency of creating / editing Plans having Services with multiple rate schedules and rate tiers.
This feature introduces PDF attachment support for Credit Memo and Credit Note customer notification emails. Accounts with either the PDF Delivered via Email or Printable & HTML Email with Surcharge notification method will receive emails with PDF attachments for Credit Memo and Credit Note notifications.
Getting here: Account Overview > Notification Method tab > Notification Method link
Note: If an account's notification method is PDF (Printing Required), a PDF will be generated in the system for printing, but it will not be emailed as PDF attachment.
This feature adds the ability to display the email address associated with a PayPal Express Checkout payment method within the Aria UI for transactions related to that payment method. This enables customers to distinguish among two or more PayPal accounts that might be used to make payments via Aria.
Getting here: Configuration > Payments > Payment Settings > Display Billing Email Address with PayPal Express Checkout transactions
Getting here: Account Overview > Recent Payments section
Getting here: Account Overview > Payment Methods tab
Getting here: Account Overview > Payment Methods tab > New payment method
Where creating a new PayPal Express Checkout payment method for an account (1 above), the email address of the Billing Contact (2 above) that you choose will be the email address that is displayed when leveraging this feature.
Getting here: Account > Payments & Credits
Getting here: Account > Payments & Credits > Refunds tab
This feature allows you to specify how Aria handles a "Success with Warning" return from a collection call to the PayPal Express Checkout payment gateway. Previously, Aria marked such collection attempts as failures. This can be configured for a PayPal Express Checkout Payment Gateway and a PayPal Express Checkout Collection Group within Aria.
Note: If "Treat as a Success" is chosen, but a transaction ID is not returned from PayPal, Aria will treat the response as a failure (as this indicates a failed collection attempt).
Getting here: Configuration > Payments > Payment Gateways > (New or Edit) Payment Gateway
When you are creating a new payment gateway, and choose "PayPal Express Checkout," additional configuration fields will appear. The Success with Warning Responses section reflects this new feature, allowing you to select how Aria handles "Success with Warning" responses:
Getting Here: Configuration > Payments > Collection Groups > (New or Edit) Payment Gateway
When you are creating a new collection group, have already configured PayPal Express Checkout as a payment gateway in your Aria instance, and choose "PayPal Express Checkout" as the Payment Processor, additional configuration fields will appear. The Success with Warning Responses section reflects this new feature, allowing you to select how Aria handles "Success with Warning" responses:
Note: The "Failure" or "Success" option within the Collection Group override the option selected at the Payment Gateway level. That is, if the Payment Gateway is configured to treat "Success with Warning" as a failure, but the Collection Group is configured to treat that response as a success, Aria will treat the response as a success.
This feature upgrades Aria’s PayPal Express Checkout from API Version 56 to the latest version. It allows Aria’s clients using PayPal Express Checkout to:
The following parameters have been removed from the Payment Gateway and Collection Group UI screens:
The following Processor Parameters are introduced in Payment Gateway and Collection Group UI screens (pictured below):
This improvement enhances the overall performance and efficiency of the record_external_payment_m API.
The following APIs have been updated with two new fields, soft_descriptor and soft_descriptor_customer_service, to support Vantiv Soft Descriptors:
This feature adds a new field, req_billing_address, to the API call init_paypal_bill_agreement_m. Previously, this field was hardcoded with a value of "1." Now, it can be set in the API call, and will default to "0."
The following API calls will return an additional field, bill_email:
This feature adds, for init_paypal_bill_agreement_m, two additional input fields:
Field Name | Field Type | Max Length | Description |
---|---|---|---|
paypal_credit | long | 22 | For Future Use: PayPal Credit is a financing solution that buyers apply to, and receive approval for, within seconds. To merchants (Aria clients), the payment appears the same as other Express Checkout transactions. The merchant receives money at the time of sale, and PayPal handles remittance of payment from buyers, and assumes the risk of non-payment. |
in_context_checkout | long | 1 | In-Context checkout is an enhanced, simplified checkout flow that replaces the classic Express Checkout flow. On desktop screens, the payment flow occurs in a secure window that opens in front of the merchant website. On tablets and smartphones, the payment flow is optimized for full-page mode. Customers stay on the merchant website throughout the payment authorization process. (If you detect that a user has a non-compatible browser, or has disabled JavaScript, you can use "Classic" view.) Allowable values: 0 – Use Classic (default) 1 – Use In-Context Checkout |
If an input parameter for an API call is a "long" data type, and the input value provided is not a valid "long," the API call response will be error code 1016 with error message, "(parameter name) is not a valid long."
